Jalen Coker- Look, I may be the president of the Jalen Coker fan club, so this one is a bit painful to write. However, taking a wait-and-see approach with Coker is likely the right move. Coker was awesome in Week 1, catching 8 passes for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns. However, he caught eight of his nine targets in a game where Bryce Young threw for 361 yards. Tetairoa McMillan will still have a significant role and likely be their number one receiver, but Coker will be fun this season as a potential third-year breakout performer.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Coker's 8-138-2 Week 1 impressive but wait-and-see warranted; McMillan still #1.

Jalen Coker had an awesome Week 1 with 8 receptions for 138 yards and 2 touchdowns; however, Devin Knotts, despite being a fan, recommends a wait-and-see approach. Coker caught 8 of his 9 targets in a game where Bryce Young threw for 361 yards, and Tetairoa McMillan will still have a significant role as the likely number one receiver. Knotts believes Coker will be a fun potential third-year breakout performer this season, but ideally he would have 9 targets again in Week 2 with fewer yards and touchdowns, allowing him to remain undervalued in Week 3.
