DJ Chark Jr. Week 2 Outlook -

Some will see Chark's three targets and think, "Oh no, I spent too high of a draft pick on him!" I would advise against feeling that way. They threw the ball 20 times in that game, a number that'll never happen again. In 2019, they averaged 36.8 pass attempts per game, and not only did they downgrade at running back, but their defense got worse. He'll be just fine. He was on the field for 42 snaps while Cole played 33 and Shenault played 31. The lone downside to what we saw in Week 1 was his slot usage, as he played just 16.7 percent of his snaps in the slot. That comes after Jay Gruden talked about moving him around more, so we'll see if it's just too small of a sample size to judge. The Titans cornerback unit took a hit before Week 1 when they had to place Adoree Jackson on injured reserve, leaving them with Malcolm Butler, Johnathan Joseph, and rookie Kristian Fulton. While Butler and Joseph were good for a portion of their careers, they're both well past their prime. The low team total has me concerned about the upside for Chark, but his targets should get back into the 6-8 range in this game. In two games against them last year, he caught 9-of-11 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown. Consider him a sturdy WR2 in this matchup.
