Coker's extension and McMillan pairing position him to exceed WR58 ADP with WR3 upside.

After Jalen Coker missed the first six weeks of the 2025 regular season, he really came on strong as a solid complement to Tetairoa McMillan in the Carolina passing attack. The Carolina passing attack will flow almost exclusively through those two players as the remaining alternatives are either too old (Darren Waller) or inconsistent (Xavier Legette, John Metchie III, Ja'Tavion Sanders). The Panthers just rewarded Coker with a large extension, so it stands to reason he is a major factor in their offense for the coming season. A porous defense and unproven backfield will force Carolina into plenty of pass-happy contests, allowing Coker the time to shine. If Coker stays healthy all season, he should blow past his current WR58 ADP cost. Coker can be selected as a WR4/WR5 with WR3 upside.
