Jalen Coker

Jalen Coker is on the deep league flex radar again this week. Since Week 6, the Saints' secondary has had the third-highest single high rate (60.3%). Since Week 10, against single high, Coker has had an 18.2% target share with 2.52 yards per route run and a 28.2% first-read share. Those are strong numbers, no matter how you slice it. The worries for Coker are Bryce Young's uneven play and the improvement in the Saints' pass defense. Since Week 10, the Saints have held slot receivers to the sixth-fewest PPR points per target and the ninth-lowest passer rating when targeted.

Jalen Coker caught all four of his targets for 60 yards and a score in the Panthers' 20-17 loss to the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Coker has had a strong showing in back-to-back games. He's put up 8 receptions on 10 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns in his last two games. Tetairoa McMillan remains the WR1 for the team, but Coker looks to be taking over as the clear WR2, finally. His volume will be on the low side, so touchdowns will greatly impact his weekly upside.
