Jalen Coker
2025 Season Outlooks
Coker will likely be the No. 4 receiver for the Panthers this season, but he's not worth drafting in the majority of leagues. At best, you can add Coker off the waiver wire if he starts off the season playing well. Carolina has Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Adam Thielen ahead of Coker on the depth chart. He could still carve out a role and earn targets from Bryce Young, and Coker played well in 2024, especially at the end of the season when he scored at least 13.9 PPR points in two of his final four games. Keep an eye on what happens with Coker during the season, and he could emerge as a No. 4 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues if Young leans on him ahead of the other guys in the Panthers' receiving corps.
Coker is entering his second NFL season after impressing as an undrafted free-agent signing in 2024. Coker stepped into a substantial offensive role in Week 5 and his route participation cleared 50% in each of his next 10 games. He handled a 16% target share (4.6 per game) from that point forward and averaged 9.3 fantasy PPG. He did nearly all of his damage with Adam Thielen or Xavier Legette sidelined, but did flash at times nonetheless, reaching 14 fantasy points three times. Coker figures to open 2025 behind first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan and Legette on the depth chart, so despite his strong showing as a rookie UDFA, he's worth no more than a late-round flier.
