Panthers' Jalen Coker: First trip to end zone in 2025
Jalen Coker caught four of six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Rams.The 74 yards were a season high for Coker, who capped his performance with a 33-yard TD from Bryce Young in the third quarter, his first score of the season. The second-year wideout missed the beginning of the campaign with a quadriceps strain, but he looks fully healthy now. Coker has caught at least three passes in four straight games, posting a 14-179-1 line on 18 targets during that stretch. He'll get a breather during the Carolina Panthers' bye next week before taking on the Saints in Week 15.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Catches four passes vs. Falcons
Jalen Coker caught all four of his targets for 52 yards in Sunday's 30-27 overtime win over the Falcons.Coker was one of five Carolina Panthers to notch 50 receiving yards in Sunday's win, benefitting from Bryce Young's best game as a professional (448 passing yards and three touchdowns). The second-year pro from Holy Cross has now caught 11 of 15 targets for 118 yards in five games since returning from a quadriceps injury. Xavier Legette (hip) exited in the fourth quarter with an injury, so it's possible Coker has an expanded offensive role in a favorable Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Logs 21 yards Sunday
Jalen Coker caught three of four targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 17-7 loss to the Saints.The second-year pro from Holy Cross turned in a solid performance Sunday, especially considering quarterback Bryce Young finished with just 124 passing yards. Coker logged the third-most receiving yards on the Carolina Panthers in Week 10, trailing Tetairoa McMillan (60 yards) and Ja'Tavion Sanders (32 yards). The 24-year-old has now played in four games since returning from a quadriceps injury, catching seven of 11 targets for 66 yards. He's expected to remain Carolina's No. 3 wideout and carry minimal fantasy value in the Week 11 matchup against the Falcons.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Just one catch in Week 9
Jalen Coker caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Packers.Coker operated as the Carolina Panthers' No. 3 wideout during the Week 9 win but was largely uninvolved, in part due to the poor weather conditions and quarterback Bryce Young throwing for just 102 yards. Since returning from injury in the Week 7 win over the Jets, the Holy Cross product has caught four of seven targets for 45 yards. Coker should have more opportunities to contribute heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Saints.

Panthers' Jalen Coker: Activated from injured reserve
The Carolina Panthers activated Jalen Coker (quadriceps) from injured reserve Saturday, but he remains questionable for Sunday's game at the Jets, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.Coker has been a full practice participant over the past two weeks, and his return from IR indicates that he's tracking toward playing Week 7. The second-year wideout finished his rookie campaign with 32 catches (on 46 targets) for 478 yards and two touchdowns across 11 regular-season games. Coker should be utilized in two- and three-wideout sets alongside rookie first-rounder Tetairoa McMillan, which would result in a decrease in offensive snaps for Xavier Legette and Hunter Renfrow.
