Weird those 4.3s aren't translating to the field. Separation isn't there, no one is taking the top off the defense (some of that could be offensive scheme and play calling I'm sure.)
Westbrook is mainly used in the middle of the field. And Conley wasn't enough of a threat for defenses to not double up or shade on Chark.

I think you're being fooled a little bit by badly timed passes due to pressure and the high number of improvised routes due to Minshew's scrambling. 

Because these receivers did in fact gain separation at a very good rate. 

Westbrook's next gen stats show an avg separation of 3.2 yards. Equal to Tyreek Hill on the year.

Chark came in at 2.8, and Conley came in at 2.2.  
(Other players in the 2.2 -2.8 range include Amari Cooper,  Alshon Jeffrey and Emmanuel Sanders) 

Now clearly there were times when these guys were covered well, but I think if you go back and look at where they are at the top of their routes in the all 22,  you'd be surprised to see them open regularly. 
(with the N.O. game being the outlier showing much less of that)
