Harmon thinks Coker is a great receiver and it's just taken him a bit longer to adjust to the NFL game coming from Holy Cross at the collegiate level. Harmon compares Coker's body type to that of Chris Godwin Jr. or Jakobi Meyers. Coker had a 9-134-1 line on 12 targets against Los Angeles in the Panthers' near upset win. Harmon points out that reports suggest that McMillan will see more time in the slot after running routes at a 15% clip there in 2025. Carolina is able to do that given Coker can play outside. As a result, Harmon believes Coker is going to get a lot more targets than people think.

STACKED’s take

Coker poised for breakout in Year 3 as McMillan shifts to slot; Harmon sees undervalued target upside.

Matt Harmon believes Coker is a great receiver who has taken longer to adjust to the NFL after playing at Holy Cross; Harmon compares his body type to Chris Godwin Jr. and Jakobi Meyers, two receivers with proven fantasy success. Coker enters Year 3 with improved health after making 11 games in each of his first two seasons. His playoff performance vs. the Rams (9 catches, 134 yards, 1 TD on 12 targets) demonstrates upside that many managers overlooked. With Tetairoa McMillan moving to the slot (15% route rate there in 2025), Coker will play more outside and receive significantly more targets than currently projected.
