Jalen Coker continued proving he belongs after entering the league as an undrafted free agent, flashing whenever he was healthy enough to stay on the field. The Panthers slot receiver finished the year strong, highlighted by a huge playoff performance and a stretch of consistent production that hinted at a larger role. Coker's strong hands and reliability helped him emerge as one of Bryce Young's trusted options, and he enters 2026 as the favorite for Carolina's No. 2 WR job behind Tetairoa McMillan. If he can finally stay healthy for a full season, Coker has sneaky value in deeper formats. In Coker's last nine games played, he was averaging 10.1 PPG in half-PPR.
