Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Targets: D.J. Chark
D.J. Chark (DET): 16% rostered
- Next opponents: MIN, @NYJ, @CAR
- True value: $3
- Desperate need: $5
- Budget-minded: $1
Analysis: Chark resumed his role as a full-time receiver in the Lions’ offense in Week 12. Since then, he has had a 14.1% target share as the team’s field stretcher. Chark secured a touchdown against the Bills to save his fantasy day in Week 12 before exploding for 98 receiving yards against the Jaguars in Week 13. Chark should enjoy the same plus matchups as Jameson Williams on the outside against the Vikings and Panthers in the coming weeks. Notably, Minnesota is also giving up the ninth-highest deep ball completion rate. Chark is a strong WR3/flex play in Week 14.
