Jalen Coker Sees Role Shrink

By Matt Schauf | Updated on Mon, 04 Nov 2024, 12:09 AM EST

Panthers WR Jalen Coker ranked second on the team with 36 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Saints. But he caught just two passes among 3 targets while seeing decreased usage vs. Week 8.

Coker ran a route on just 45.3% of Carolina dropbacks, ceding the starting spots to fellow rookie Xavier Legette and David Moore.

Coker figures to face a bigger challenge as soon as Week 10, if veteran WR Adam Thielen's ready to return.

Coker's more of a potential long-term fantasy asset than a 2024 redraft target.
