The Carolina Panthers will face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Jalen Coker.
Is Jalen Coker Playing in Week 13?
Week 15 Status: PLAYING
Coker missed Week 12 with a quad injury and did not participate in practice all week ahead of Week 13. Unsurprisingly, Coker was formally ruled out on the final injury report.
Coker wasn’t listed on the Panthers’ early-week injury reports entering Week 12, suggesting he may have been hurt during Friday’s practice. End-of-the-week downgrades are never a positive sign and often indicate that a player will miss the upcoming game — which Coker did.
The undrafted rookie finished as the fantasy WR17 in Week 8 but has otherwise finished outside the top 40 wideouts each week. With Coker sidelined on Sunday, Xavier Legette and David Moore were Bryce Young’s top two wideouts, while a returning Adam Thielen played 61% of Carolina’s offensive snaps.
We’ll continue to monitor the Panthers’ injury report. You can also visit and bookmark our NFL Injury Tracker and Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Jalen Coker’s Fantasy Outlook
Jalen Coker was a late addition to the injury report last week and ended up sitting out with a quad injury. He left the lineup the same week that Adam Thielen (hamstring) returned, thus muddying the situation for this rookie to produce if/when he is deemed healthy.
I think we’ve seen enough from the Holy Cross product to pencil him in as a part of the rebuild in Carolina, but there’s no need to hold onto him in redraft formats for the stretch run.
