The Carolina passing attack will flow through Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker this season. 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.
STACKED’s take
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.
