Coker's 60% rostered rate is too low after 138 yards, 2 TDs in Week 1.

Coker's 60% roster rate is too low given his Week 1 dominance over Chicago: eight catches on nine targets for 138 yards and two touchdowns (29.8 fantasy points), leading the Panthers in all receiving categories. Despite second-year presumed No. 1 Tetairoa McMillan being quiet early, QB Bryce Young has built rapport with Coker, who also posted a big playoff performance last season (9-134-1 vs. Rams). With favorable next two matchups (@ ATL, @ CLE), Coker projects as a solid WR3/flex with WR2 upside and shouldn't be on waiver wire in 10-team leagues.
