ArticleDraftKings Sunday Showdown: Week 4October 4, 2026

From the article

Waller could be the prime beneficiary of a Jalen Coker absence. Last week, with Coker leaving in the third quarter, Bryce Young sent just 5 of his 48 looks to Tetairoa McMillan - and 15 to his tight ends.

STACKED’s take

NeutralInjury

Coker's status key; his absence last week shifted 15 targets to tight ends.

Jalen Coker's absence is a key variable for this Showdown. Last week, when Coker left in the third quarter, Bryce Young redistributed his targets significantly, sending 15 of 48 looks to tight ends instead of spreading them to receivers like Tetairoa McMillan (5 targets). If Coker is out, tight ends like Darren Waller could see increased opportunity.
