Who Should I Start? Keke Coutee or D.J. Chark

The Miami Dolphins released wide receiver Keke Coutee on Monday. Coutee started the offseason with the New Orleans Saints but latched on with the Dolphins earlier this month after he was released. He now finds himself back on the open market mere weeks before the start of the 2023 regular season. The 26-year-old former fourth-round pick of the Houston Texans in 2018 out of Texas Tech spent the last two years with the Indianapolis Colts, catching only two passes for 25 yards in 10 games (zero starts). In his three seasons in Houston, he caught 83 of his 117 targets for 941 yards and four touchdowns in 23 games (10 starts). Coutee is obviously way off the fantasy radar right now.

Former Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Chark Jr., one of the top free-agent receivers available with less than a week until the NFL draft, spent Thursday on a visit with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to a source. The Chargers may draft a receiver as early as the fifth overall pick next Thursday night, but they still need starters and Chark could be an option to help build depth at the position now that Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are both gone. The 27-year-old Chark had a 1,000-yard season with the Jaguars in 20219 and scored eight touchdowns, but injuries and inconsistency have limited him in four years since and he hasn't been reliable for fantasy managers. Chark might be intriguing as a late-round dart throw in fantasy drafts if he were to land in LA, but it would also depend on what the Chargers do at the position in the upcoming draft.
