The good news: OL Evan Brown, OL Frank Ragnow, TE TJ Hockenson, WR DJ Chark, WR Josh Reynolds back at it.
It’s some much-needed reinforcement to a Lions offense that had Josh Reynolds as their top wide receiver in a shootout loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4. Top option Amon-Ra St. Brown will likely remain out this weekend, but Chark looks ready to return as the Lions seek their first win in New England since 1993. Consider Chark a high-end WR3 this weekend as the primary target for one of the league’s most explosive offenses.
In three games this season, Chark has hauled in seven receptions on 18 targets for 98 yards and a touchdown. With him back in the mix, you can expect Josh Reynolds to see a slight decrease in his workload and snap count.
