I listen to talk radio out here and yesterday they said Chark could be the best receiver on the team already. Look for big things from him this year. Guy is killing it in OTA's. Could have two tigers leading the offense this year I figure the first few weeks may be an adjustment for him but mid season i think he will be getting the ball alot with teams trying to stop LF. Cant wait for the season to start.

So, which receivers is he going to beat out? Marqise Lee, Dede Westbrook or Keelen Cole? I like those guys as sleepers in fantasy this year.

Eta: This was a serious question, not a slight against Chark at all.

Although rookie WR’s don’t break out in their first year very often, DJ may just do that!

Rookie receivers have been doing a lot more in the league the last handful of years. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Chark did some things this year. I was just curious if OP heard anything about who he was going to jump for playing time.

Beckham and Michael Thomas had outstanding rookie seasons. Last year JuJu had a damn good year for the Steelers. If you wanna go that far back to Randy Moss, Anquan Boldin had an incredible rookie season. That's just off the top of my head.

Eta: Kelvin Benjamin, Sammy Watkins and Mike Evans in 2014 are more recent. Cooper Kupp had a good year. Marques Colston isn't recent, but another great rookie year.

Eta: Keenan Allen ... is that enough?

Eta2: Let's not forget Jarvis Landry and Brandin Cooks also.

Right Now Marqise Lee is probably the number 1 guy but not much of a deep threat. Keelan Cole is probably your number 2 . Chark according to them has already passed him . de de westbrook is the number 4.

If he does make it big,it will be yet another example of a receiver horribly underused at LSU.

Damn. Westbroook was supposed to be the breakout guy too. But, Bortles really seemed to get something going with Cole at the end of the year. Another rookie WR, but he didn't come on until very late in the season.

Or a guy who has matured and worked on his craft because he realized that just running fast isn’t enough.

Also, this just in, the majority of NFL coaches are better than college coaches and NFL players can devote as much time as needed to learn the position. That's not the case in college.

Coles will be good but he nor lee have the physical tools of chark. A tall guy that can fly and actually catch the ball much like Allen robinson was to the jags before injury. I actually think Chark has alot of similarities to Robinson. The Jags hope So.

If he can learn to catch the ball with his hands better and go up to high point the ball, he could be a lot like Robinson. Robinson excelled at adjusting to he ball and catching with his hands. Of course minus the year I drafted him in fantasy and he had the dropsies.

His last season, he became a star. I don't think he was underused at all last year.

Or... yet another example of a receiver incredibly well preserved and protected at LSU.

Damn man. Do you get owned in every single thread you post in? Glad to see you aren't just stupid when it comes to baseball. It apparently covers all major sports.

I thought chark was one of the most under utilized guy on LSU last year and he very well could be a stud. But don’t read too much into this. Every team has guys that are super impressive during OTAs

Didn’t ODB and Jarvis Landry have really good rookie seasons?

Just looked up ODB (2014) 91 catches for 1305 yards

JL (2014) 84 catches for 758 yards

Just checked. It was 4.
