Draft SharksD.J. Chark joins wide-open Chargers WR corps

The Chargers and WR D.J. Chark agreed to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Chark went for 1,008 yards back in 2019 but hasn't really been fantasy relevant since. He's missed 39 games over the last four seasons and averaged 48.6 yards per game. Chark finished a distant second to WR Adam Thielen with 525 receiving yards on a bad Panthers passing game last year. His 1.08 yards per route ranked 75th among 93 qualifying WRs. Chark isn't a guy you should be excited to bet on, although this is a solid landing spot with QB Justin Herbert and a wide-open WR corps. Chark, Ladd McConkey, Josh Palmer, and Quentin Johnston will duke it out for snaps this summer.

Draft SharksXavier Legette lands in Carolina after move up

The Panthers traded up one spot to grab South Carolina WR Xavier Legette with the final pick of Round 1. Legette is one of the toughest evaluations in this year s WR class. He did next to nothing over his first four college seasons, totaling just 42 catches. That stretch included a 2020 hamstring injury and a 2021 motorcycle accident all after Legette spent his senior year of high school playing QB. Then he came out of nowhere for a huge 2023 campaign. Legette s 1,255 receiving yards ranked eighth in the country. He accounted for 37.6% of South Carolina s receiving yards and 33.3% of the receiving TDs. And he ranked top-16 among 286 qualifying WRs in both yards per route and Pro Football Focus receiving grade. Then Legette smashed the Combine, recording a 4.39-second 40 time and 40-inch vertical at 6 1, 221 pounds to earn a 9.90 Relative Athletic Score. That elite combination of size and speed pops off the tape. Legette can dominate on deep balls and after the catch. He also has a big catch radius and reliable hands. Legette is relatively raw in the route-running department, though, and isn t the most agile player. It s fair to wonder how much more room he has to grow considering he turned 23 in January. Legette does, at least, land in an offense with opportunity. WR Adam Thielen led Carolina in receiving last year but is clearly on the downside of his career. Jonathan Mingo underwhelmed in his rookie season. And there's little else. Check our rookie rankings to see where Legette lands.
