FantasyPros Articles on Jalen Coker
From the article
Another one of "my guys," Jalen Coker has officially shed the perspective that comes with being an undrafted player and has moved from a complimentary player to a potential stud. He picked up right where he left off on Sunday, torching the Bears undermanned secondary to the tune of 138 yards and two scores on eight receptions. He led the team in targets with nine compared to McMillan's eight, and while we may not see that every week, Bryce Young continues to take strides forward and may be able to support both players as weekly starters.
STACKED’s take
Coker's breakout continues: 9 targets, 138 yards, 2 TDs; out-producing McMillan late last season.
The source identifies Coker as one of their guys who has shed the undrafted label and moved from complimentary player to potential stud. After battling quad injuries through his first two seasons, Coker established himself late last season, out-producing Tetairoa McMillan over Weeks 13-18 with 31 targets each while averaging 63.7 receiving yards per game and 15.7 PPG versus McMillan's 51 YPG and 9.9 PPG. He capped that run with nine receptions, 134 yards, and a touchdown in the Panthers playoff loss. In Week 1, Coker continued his rise, torching the Bears secondary for 138 yards and two scores on eight receptions while leading the team with nine targets to McMillan's eight. While that target split may not hold weekly, Bryce Young's continued development could support both as weekly starters.
