DJ Chark

The uber-athletic Chark is the top returning receiver for the Tigers, having caught 26 balls for 466 yards and three touchdowns in 2016. He averaged a standout 17.9 yards per grab, flashing his big-play ability. However, he may have a difficult time as the No. 1 receiver in this offense. Travin Dural and Malachi Dupre are both gone, meaning that Chark will surely draw extra attention from opposing pass defenses. Likewise, quarterback Danny Etling has been mediocre at best during his brief time in Baton Rouge, and the Tigers remain a running team behind Heisman hopeful Derrius Guice. Chark should see plenty of looks as a deep-ball threat, but his production may be inconsistent.
