Coker's elite single-high metrics align with Chicago's Week 1 coverage scheme.

The Carolina passing attack will flow through Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker this season. When Coker was healthiest (Weeks 13-19, after early quad injury), he challenged McMillan for the top spot with a 20% target share (McMillan 18.3%), 2.30 yards per route run (McMillan 1.78), four red zone targets (McMillan one), and 28.3% first-read share (McMillan 26.1%). In those six games, Coker finished with at least 14 PPR points four times. Against Chicago's single-high coverage (58.2% in Weeks 17-20), Coker posted a 21% target-per-route run rate and 2.81 yards per route run. Chicago allowed the fourth-most yards per target and fifth-most fantasy points per opportunity to slot receivers in Weeks 12-18.
