Jalen Coker Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

Panthers WRs Jalen Coker (quad) and David Moore (concussion) are active for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. Moore should be a full-go. Coker carries a bit more risk after being added to the injury report on Thursday and limited in Friday’s practice.

Panthers WRs Jalen Coker (quad) and David Moore (concussion) are expected to play vs. the Cardinals today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Both guys should be full-time players with WR Xavier Legette out with a hip injury, although the quad issue that popped up for Coker on Thursday adds some risk to his profile.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette (hip) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. WRs Jalen Coker (quad) and David Moore (concussion) are listed as questionable. Coker was added to the injury report on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. Moore practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. We're tentatively expecting both guys to play but will look for further updates and get Carolina's inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker was added to the injury report with a quad and limited in practice on Thursday. That suddenly puts his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals in doubt. Carolina will already be without WR Xavier Legette in that one. We'll update Coker's status again tomorrow.

Panthers WR Xavier Legette is considered "week-to-week" with the groin injury that knocked him out of the Week 15 loss to the Cowboys and is not expected to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend, HC Dave Canales said. It sounds like Legette might miss more than just one game. He's droppable from redraft rosters. Legette's absence should put WR Jalen Coker back in a full-time role, alongside WRs Adam Thielen and David Moore.

Panthers WR Jalen Coker (quad) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He figures to siphon some snaps from WR David Moore vs. the Cowboys on Sunday but is not a viable fantasy option.
