Team news: Los Angeles Chargers | Page 33

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, head coach Anthony Lynn has officially made rookie quarterback Justin Herbert the starter going forward.

While there was little doubt that Herbert had done enough to keep the job even when Tyrod Taylor was healthy, Lynn was hesitant to make the permanent switch official when Taylor was recovering from a punctured lung at the hands of team doctors. Taylor knew that he was a stopgap solution for the Chargers, but the way what is likely his last starting role ended has to leave a bad taste in the mouths of all involved. Herbert has been impressive since he took over under center, and is the QB10 from Week 2 through Week 4. Herbert is our 19th ranked quarterback for Week 5.

The reality is, the Ravens just aren’t running many offensive plays. That’s not necessarily a bad thing. The Ravens had two- and three-play touchdown drives Sunday. You’ll take the quick strikes all the time. But they do impact how much the Ravens are able to get their myriad offensive players involved. Take away nine plays per game and about four minutes of possession time and that’s significant in terms of how many touches certain players are able to get and how many snaps guys play.

Ingram who is second on the team to Jackson with 34 carries, is already averaging five fewer carries per game than he got through the course of last year. Edwards, who has looked like the Ravens’ most effective back, is on pace to average two fewer touches per game than he got last year. Wide receiver Brown has 24 targets and 16 catches. Last year, he had 34 targets and 18 catches through this point. Tight end Andrews has 12 catches on 20 targets. Through four games last year, he had 23 catches on 32 targets. The Ravens haven’t been able to spread the ball around and get as many players as involved as they’d like. They just haven’t had enough plays to do that, the story went on to say.

D.J. Chark will play Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, according to John Oehser of Jaguars.com.

Chark understandably missed last Thursday's game on a short week and returns in time for a juicy matchup against the Bengals secondary. Fire him up as a WR2.

Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said that he is "comfortable" with D.J. Chark Jr. playing this Sunday, according to Ashlyn Sullivan of Jaguars.com.

Chark is the straw that stirs the drink for the Jaguars offense, and his return is in time for a juicy matchup against a poor Bengals defense.

Jaguars WR D.J. Chark is returning to practice in a limited capacity Wednesday as he recovers from chest issue.

Chark sat out Week 3 and the Jacksonville passing offense looked woeful in his absence. Chark has not seen much volume in the two games he has played, but he has been very efficient in catching all of his targets, several for chunk gains. Chark is trending towards getting back on the field this weekend and will be startable in fantasy against a leaky Bengals defense.
