Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) is a player new head coach Frank Reich has kept an eye on for the last couple of years and someone who he would like to "develop him into a complete receiver."
Huddle Up: Despite having a 73-catch season in 2019 on his resume, Chark is known mostly as a field-stretcher. His biggest problem lately has been durability, as he has averaged 9.3 games played over the last three seasons. There is some hope his recent ankle surgery will help him avoid the foot and ankle issues that have plagued him. If it does, Chark could be in a position to enjoy another season similar to the one he had in 2019.

Carolina Panthers WR DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) recently underwent ankle surgery, according to head coach Frank Reich. Per Reich, Chark could be ready for the last part of organized team activities. The surgery was done in hopes that it will keep Chark from continuing to have some of the foot and ankle injuries he has experienced early in his career.
Huddle Up: There is a distinct chance that Chark ends up being Carolina's WR1 in 2023 despite the presence of Adam Thielen, who will be 33 years old when the season starts. It is also worth noting Thielen has also struggled to stay healthy in recent years. It should be considered good news that Chark is getting ahead of foot and ankle injuries with this surgery and will be ready for training camp. There is potential WR3 upside for him in fantasy if he stays healthy.

Huddle Up: Chark should have a role as a deep threat in Frank Reich's offense. His own volatility, the addition of Adam Thielen, and the pairing of an incoming rookie quarterback make Chark a boom/bust WR4 type in fantasy.
