HELLO HELLO HELLO JALEN COKER! Cokeheads unite! Week 1 was our day. It was wonderful to see Coker balling out as the WR1 overall in fantasy for Week 1. Among all wideouts in Week 1 with at least 20 routes, Coker was tenth in separation score and 15th in route win rate. Coker has the talent to succeed this season. That much is very true. Will he be Carolina's leading receiver all season? Eh, let's pump the brakes on that, but Week 1 was a standout performance. Coker led the team with a 23.7% target share while tying Tetairoa McMillan with a 27.3% first-read share. Coker also had three deep targets and one red zone target, which tied or exceeded McMillan's usage in Week 1. Coker finished with 138 receiving yards (3.94 YPRR) and two scores. In Week 1, Atlanta had the fourth-highest single-high rate (67.4%). Last year, in Weeks 13-19 against single high, Coker had a 21% target-per-route run rate and 2.81 YPRR. In Week 1, against single high, Coker had only a 30% target-per-route run rate and 5.10 YPRR. Those are amazing numbers no matter how you slice it. We'll see if Coker can keep the party bus rolling in Week 2, but Atlanta's secondary could bring him back down to earth some if their Week 1 showing was indicative of how we should view them for the rest of the season. Last week, Atlanta allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per target and the seventh-fewest yards per target to perimeter wide receivers. After one week of NFL action. I'm not scared of Atlanta's secondary, though.
