• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Team-high yardage total in OT win

  12D ago • By RotoWire

  Coker brought in three of eight targets for 41 yards in the Panthers' 20-17 overtime win over the Giants in Munich on Sunday. Coker's yardage total, modest as it was, led the Panthers on the day, as did his career-high target tally. The undrafted rookie has displayed good chemistry with Bryce Young and is now boasting a 9-155-1 line on 17 targets in the latter's three-game starting stint. With Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore, Coker should continue to enjoy a prominent role during a Week 12 home matchup against the Chiefs on Sunday, Nov. 24 following a Week 11 bye, although Adam Thielen (IR, hamstring) is expected back for that game.

• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Quiet in Week 9

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Coker caught two of his three targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 23-22 win over the Saints. Coker was held without a catch in the second half of Sunday's win; however, the rookie from Holy Cross still finished with the most receiving yards among Panthers wideouts. The 23-year-old's role in Carolina's offense appears likely to continue growing after Diontae Johnson was traded to the Ravens on Oct. 29, and he and the Panthers will next face the Giants in Week 10.

• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Scores first career TD

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Coker caught four of six targets for 78 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Broncos. The rookie led the Panthers in receiving yards on the day, and Coker capped his performance with his first career touchdown as he hauled in a 15-yard toss from Bryce Young in the fourth quarter. Over the last four games, the undrafted wideout out of Holy Cross has posted a respectable 12-186-1 line on 14 targets, but Coker's role in Carolina's passing game will hinge on the health of Diontae Johnson (ribs) and Adam Thielen (hamstring) -- assuming the veteran receivers don't get shipped out before the trade deadline.

• Panthers' Jalen Coker: Questionable after full practice

  10/04/2024 • By RotoWire

  Coker (foot) practiced in full Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears, David Newton of ESPN.com reports. Panthers head coach Dave Canales said all players listed as questionable have a good chance to suit up Sunday, per Joe Person of The Athletic. That lends optimism to the notion that Coker will be able to suit up versus Chicago. Coker handled a depth role in his regular-season debut Week 4, and he failed to secure his only target.
