From the article

According to the FantasyPoints Data Suite, Coker runs routes on 74.2% of dropbacks, is targeted on 19.9% of those routes and produces 0.44 fantasy points per route run. Coker faces Keisean Nixon of the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football. Nixon allows 0.34 fantasy points per route run and is targeted on 19.5% of routes run against him. Coker has returned to full practice this week, which should give fantasy managers some confidence in his availability. I don't expect him to become a WR1 in this matchup. However, given the bye weeks and injuries across the league, Coker is a reasonable WR2/FLEX option for managers looking for upside on Thursday night.

Coker's solid efficiency and route share make him viable WR2/FLEX despite recent struggles.
