2025 Fantasy Outlook
Coker earned a roster spot in Carolina as an undrafted rookie last year and eventually made his way into the starting lineup. He was the team's top slot receiver Weeks 5-10, averaging 2.8 catches for 43.8 yards on 4.2 targets, before missing three games with a quad injury and then returning to an offense that had a healthy Adam Thielen. The Panthers put Coker in a near-every-down role over the final four weeks, taking about 60 percent of his snaps on the perimeter, and he responded reasonably well with averages of 3.8 catches for 53.8 yards on 5.0 targets (albeit propped up by an 83-yard TD on a busted coverage). It's unlikely he would've gotten such an opportunity as an undrafted rookie on a better team, but that doesn't mean Coker is merely a product of circumstance. He was overlooked in the 2024 Draft due to a poor 40 time (4.57) and his small-school background (FCS Holy Cross), even though he thoroughly dominated the lesser competition (26 TDs in 2022-23) and confirmed his athleticism with a 42.5-inch vertical at 6-1, 208. Coker isn't just some feel-good story getting by temporarily on grit and know-how; his combination of strength, leaping ability and route-running is impressive enough to put him squarely in the mix for a starting job this summer, perhaps competing against 2024 first-round pick Xavier Legette.

Dealing with injury
Coker was spotted working off to the side of Panthers' practice Tuesday due to a soft-tissue injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
ANALYSIS
The severity of Coker's injury is currently unknown, but it's a positive sign that he didn't need to sit out of practice entirely. The second-year wideout from Holy Cross is expected to compete for snaps in a crowded Panthers wide receiver corps headlined by 2025 first-round pick Tetairoa McMillan, Xavier Legette and Adam Thielen. However, Coker may fall behind the competition for a depth role if he's unable to return to the field soon.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Battling for WR4 job
Joseph Person of The Athletic relays that Cooker faces stiff competition for the Panthers' No. 4 wideout spot behind Tetairoa McMillan, Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette.
ANALYSIS
The Panthers signed Hunter Renfrow in late April and selected McMillan and Jimmy Horn in the first and sixth rounds, respectively, of the 2025 NFL Draft. Coker, who signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in April of 2024, finished his first NFL campaign strongly with 24 catches on 37 targets for 370 yards and two touchdowns over the final seven games of the regular season. The Holy Cross product will need to perform strongly in OTAs and minicamp to beat out Renfrow, Horn and veteran David Moore for the WR4 role in the Panthers' offense.
