Footballguys on Jalen Coker
From the article
Coker was arguably the team's WR1 against the Bears, against whom he caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns. He was not only Bryce Young's first read as often as McMillan, but also the primary deep threat.
STACKED’s take
Coker's 138 yards, 2 TDs, and 9 targets signal breakout as Young's primary target over McMillan.
Coker caught eight passes for 138 yards and two touchdowns against the Bears in Week 1, establishing himself as Carolina's top target ahead of Tetairoa McMillan. The source notes this is not an overreaction to one game but rather a continuation of a breakout trajectory that started late last season. Coker was Bryce Young's first read as often as McMillan and served as the primary deep threat. Over the last six games, Coker and McMillan are tied with 31 targets; over the last eight games played, Coker has 39 receptions to McMillan's 26. Coker has outproduced McMillan in their last five games together and represents considerably better value than McMillan, who was drafted seven or so rounds earlier.
