Tossup between Chark and Jones. In addition to the Sauce factor, it's also Thursday Night on the road for Jacksonville in cold weather. JAX is 2-5 on the road, with a notably less efficient offense to go with their already bad defense.
Chark will be in an offense with lots of options but facing a Carolina defense that is middle of the pack.
Aiyuk is in a TE/RB dependent offense right now, and going against a top 5 defense/top 8 passing defense in the Commanders this week. I think that'll likely be a low scoring affair.
I don't want to pick. Tossup between Chark and Jones though, for me. Jones production seems real, but this is a tough week due to those factors. If it wasn't, I'd start Jones.

Leaning Chark for those reasons.
