Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice, putting him on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. We don't expect Coker's return to impact WR Xavier Legette or WR Adam Thielen's playing time. We'll see if Coker moves past WR David Moore in the pecking order, but neither guy can be trusted in Week 14 fantasy lineups.
Coker has missed the past two games with the quad issue. A full session to open the week all but guarantees the rookie will be back on the field by Sunday. Coker's return should push David Moore to the bench, though Carolina's receiver room could devolve into a messy rotation with Moore playing well in his pair of spot-starts. Adam Thielen is the only Panthers receiver fantasy managers can trust heading into Week 14.
Jameson Williams, Adam Thielen and Tre Tucker can help managers in Week 14.
Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen made one of the best catches of the season when he used one hand to reel in a 16-yard pass from Bryce Young on a third down in overtime on Sunday, but the result of the next play meant no one was talking about Thielen's catch after the game.
Moore is handling his contributor role better than expected; his nine targets trailed on Adam Thielen's 10. Moore dropped multiple passes though and looks every bit the 29-year-old journeyman that he is. Fantasy managers should treat him as a WR7 against the Eagles in Week 14.
