Fantasy football Week 10 panic meter: Jalen Coker, Saquon Barkley and more

Taking stock of the fantasy football duds after Week 9 of the NFL season. What do these performances mean for Week 10?

Week 9 saw panic over Zay Flowers and Parker Washington in fantasy football. Flowers struggled without Lamar Jackson, but Jacoby Brissett could have saved him. Washington continues to be held back by blowout wins. Ashton Jeanty took control of the backfield, but the Raiders' rushing attack still looked broken.

This week's panic meter covers Jalen Coker, Saquon Barkley, Drake London, Saquon Barkley, Nico Collins, and Kyren Williams. Coker has struggled since suffering a quad strain, averaging just 2.3 catches and 24.7 yards in his last three games. McMillan and Waller are now taking away from Coker's fantasy appeal.

Barkley, playing 59% of the snaps against his former team, has scored in each of his last three games, but his injuries and lack of targets in the passing game remain concerns. He isn't used in the passing game, with just two targets in any one game this season.

Drake London has been relatively quiet in his last two games, but his 68-yard performance and high first read target share (31.8%) give him a 1/5 panic meter rating. Saquon Barkley, now with a 32% snap share, is also a 2/5 panic meter worry due to his injury issues and lack of targets in the passing game.

Nico Collins has seen five or fewer targets in each of his last three games but still managed to score a touchdown in Week 9. His recent drop in target share (from 26.1% to 13.8%) and competition from Marvin Harrison Jr. and Tank Dell has lowered his fantasy value to a 3/5 panic meter rating.

Kyren Williams, on the other hand, has provided consistency each week, splitting work with Blake Corum. Despite the competition, Williams remains a buy-low option due to the Rams' offense and Davante Adams' injury status.
