From the article
Coker saw 24 percent of Carolina's air yards against the Bears. Tetairoa McMillan saw 21 percent... Coker was targeted on 25 percent of his routes. McMillan saw a look on 21 percent of his routes... know that Coker in no way dominated pass catching for Carolina in Week 1
STACKED’s take
Coker's Week 1 dominance overstated; McMillan nearly matched his usage metrics.
Coker's Week 1 box score made it look like he's the Panthers' unquestioned WR1, but underlying metrics tell a different story. Coker saw 24 percent of Carolina's air yards versus Tetairoa McMillan's 21 percent; was targeted on 25 percent of his routes versus McMillan's 21 percent; and averaged 0.45 fantasy points per route versus McMillan's 0.37. Both players had six first-read targets against Chicago. The source notes Coker was spotted in a walking boot on Monday and questions whether the Panthers defense is so atrocious that it forces Bryce Young to drop back 40-plus times a game to fuel stat lines for both receivers. Coker in no way dominated pass catching for Carolina in Week 1.
