STACKED’s take
Coker is Panthers' clear No. 2; source projects top-20 upside vs. slot-friendly Bears.
Jalen Coker is the clear-cut No. 2 option in the Panthers passing game after Chris Brazzell II was lost for the year early in training camp. Coker finished last season strong as a sleeper, averaging 4.7 receptions on six targets for 63 receiving yards, 0.7 touchdowns and 14.6 PPR fantasy points per game over the final five games and Carolina's playoff contest. He faces the Bears, who were arguably the most fantasy-friendly team to opposing slot receivers in 2025, surrendering the most fantasy points per game (15.7), most receiving touchdowns (14) and third-most receiving yards (1,065) to slot receivers. The source projects Coker has top-20 upside in Week 1.
