Positive signalRole

Coker's 12-catch, 150-yard edge over McMillan makes him Panthers' clear WR1.

In the last seven games Jalen Coker and Ted McMillan played together, Coker had 12 more catches and 150 more yards, establishing him as the de facto number-one receiver in the Panthers offense; despite an ankle injury, he is expected to play Week 2 and the source recommends playing him.
