Panthers WR earns 'start 'em' label for Week 6 matchup vs. Eagles
Fantasy owners should be excited to fire Panthers WR Jalen Coker back up here in Week 6.
The Carolina Panthers will face the Philadelphia Eagles in a Week 6 matchup, with Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker set to start as the top receivers, replacing Xavier Legette who is on injured reserve. Coker, despite playing only two games since Week 2, has demonstrated solid performance with 48.4 fantasy points in those contests.
NFL.com has named Coker to Matt Okada's start list for this week, highlighting his impressive numbers relative to other wide receivers with similar target counts. Philadelphia's defense has been particularly vulnerable to wide receivers, allowing an average of 134.4 fantasy points since Week 3. When Coker lines up in the slot, he will face Cooper DeJean, while outside he may face former first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell.
Coker's status for the game looks promising, as he has completed back-to-back full practices on Wednesday and Thursday.
