Jalen Coker Week 10 Outlook - Giants at Panthers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 7th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Last week was a letdown for Coker hive, no doubt, but please spread the word that we are back up. Last week, we saw Coker's route share dip to 48.3%. We can theorize this was to help facilitate a Jonathan Mingo trade, or it was due to Coker picking up a shoulder issue. Assuming Coker is fully healthy, the runway is clear for Coker to resume his duties as the team's primary starting slot receiver. Adam Thielen's impending return doesn't really concern me, considering where he's at in his career and his target-drawing ability. In Week 8, Coker had a 15.8% target share, a 34.1% air-yard share, 2.60 yards per route run, and a team-leading 22.2% first-read share. Those market shares are closer to what I expect for Coker moving forward, as I'm willing to chuck Week 8 in the garbage. Coker has a favorable matchup in Week 10 against a Giants secondary that has allowed the 11th-highest PPR points per target and the fifth-highest passer rating when targeted to slot receivers.
