        Jalen Coker Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

        Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He was a full-go in practice all week, so we’re projecting him to play a significant role in this one. But we’d still try not to use Coker in fantasy lineups in his 2025 debut. WR Hunter Renfrow is a healthy scratch with Coker back.

        Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Jets. But he was a full-go in practice all week and will play, according to ESPN's David Newton. Try not to use Coker in fantasy lineups in his 2025 debut, but he could quickly emerge as the No. 2 target in this passing game and is worth a stash in fantasy leagues of 12+ teams.

        Panthers WR Teteroia McMillan scored his first two career TDs in Sunday’s win over Dallas. The rookie caught 3 of 5 targets for only 29 yards.

        Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) was not activated from IR and will not play vs. the Cowboys on Sunday. Coker was a full participant in practice all week, so he's seemingly close to making his 2025 debut. He remains a fine stash in deeper fantasy leagues.

        Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) put in a full week of practice but is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. HC Dave Canales labeled Coker a game-time decision on Friday. We’ll see if he gets the green light for this one, but Coker shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups in his 2025 debut.

        Panthers WR Jalen Coker will be designated to return and practice on Wednesday, HC Dave Canales said. Coker has been sidelined since suffering a quad injury in late August. It's unclear if he'll be back for this weekend's game vs. the Cowboys, and Coker won't be a reliable fantasy play when he makes his 2025 debut. But he could quickly emerge as the No. 2 target in Carolina's passing game. How much that's worth is a fair question, though. The Panthers currently rank 26th in passing yards per game.

        Panthers WR Jalen Coker was placed on Injured Reserve with a quad injury suffered in practice. He’ll miss at least the first four games. The team signed WR Hunter Renfrow in a corresponding move.

        Following the Adam Thielen trade, Panthers GM Dan Morgan confirmed that WR Jalen Coker will play in the slot in 2025, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer.

        After a week or so of rumors, the Panthers and Vikings have finally worked out a trade to send WR Adam Thielen back to Minnesota. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Vikings will get Thielen, a conditional seventh-round pick for 2026, and a fifth-round pick for 2027. The Panthers will get a 2026 fifth-rounder and a 2027 fourth-rounder.

        Carolina Panthers rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) returned to practice on Tuesday, according to Joe Person of The Athletic.

        Panthers’ rookie WR Tetairoa McMillan is dealing with a minor hamstring injury, according to David Newton of ESPN.

        We reported on August 1 that Panthers WR Jalen Coker was off to a slow start in training camp and that his roster spot could be in danger. He's seemingly turned it around since, though, including a 2-17-1 receiving line in the preseason opener. HC Dave Canales called Coker "one of the more reliable guys we have" on Monday.

        Panthers WR Jalen Coker hasn't done much to stand out in camp so far, according to The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye. Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette, and Adam Thielen have been running as Carolina's top three WRs. And Hunter Renfrow has out-played Coker, per Kaye.

        The Panthers signed WR Hunter Renfrow. The 29-year-old was out of the league last year, seemingly by his own accord. He spent the previous five seasons with the Raiders, totaling 269 catches for 2,884 yards and 17 TDs. He caught 103 balls back in 2021 but combined for just 61 across 2022 and 2023.

        Panthers HC Dave Canales said the kinds of things you'd expect a coach to say about his WRs at last week's NFL meetings in Florida. "I love the guys that we have," he told the Charlotte Observer. "And I'm excited about this year." He specifically talked about how he thinks Xavier Legette can become a DK Metcalf-type playmaker. But the way Canales talked about Legette suggested the coach might think that development will take time.

        There's a 70% chance of rain throughout today's Panthers-Buccaneers game. Winds are only expected to come in around 10 mph, though, so weather shouldn't have a big impact on this one. We're not adjusting projections for Carolina or Tampa Bay players.
