Last year, when Coker was at his healthiest (quad injury early in the year) during Weeks 13-19, he was challenging Tetairoa McMillan for the top spot in Carolina's aerial attack. During that stretch, Coker had a 20% target share (McMillan 18.3%), 2.30 yards per route run (McMillan 1.78), four red zone targets (McMillan, one), and a 28.3% first-read share (McMillan 26.1% per Fantasy Points Data).

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Coker valued 32 spots above ADP with elite metrics vs. McMillan; late-round priority.

Coker is ranked WR52 overall with ECR vs. ADP of +32, indicating strong expert consensus above current draft position. The Carolina passing attack will flow through Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker this season, especially with Chris Brazzell now missing up to eight weeks with a torn LCL. When Coker was at his healthiest (quad injury early in the year) during Weeks 13-19, he was challenging Tetairoa McMillan for the top spot in Carolina's aerial attack. During that stretch, Coker had a 20% target share (McMillan 18.3%), 2.30 yards per route run (McMillan 1.78), four red zone targets (McMillan one), and a 28.3% first-read share (McMillan 26.1%). In those six games played, Coker finished with at least 14 PPR points four times. The massive divide between McMillan and Coker in ADP should not exist.
