The desk on him

CAR WR

start Pending

Start Jalen Coker at Cleveland and stop reading the yardage

9 targets in Week 1. 9 targets in Week 2. A 26.5% target share and then a 28.1% target share. The looks have not moved an inch, and the yards are the part that bounces around week to week. I will take a man getting 9 looks every Sunday.

sit Pending

Sit Jalen Coker at Cleveland, the yards left before the targets did

9 targets in Week 1 became 138 receiving yards. The same 9 targets in Week 2 became 66. His air-yards share went 33.9% to 15.4%, which is the tell: same looks, shorter looks. A 2025 season of 3.9 targets per game and a WR69 finish is the baseline everyone is ignoring.

start Hit

Start Jalen Coker and do not overthink it

33.8 points, 2 touchdowns, 138 yards. When a guy hangs a WR1 week on you, you ride him until he gives you a reason not to. Ride.

CAR WR

sit Miss

Sit Jalen Coker. Yes, the WR1.

33.8 points and a WR1 finish means everyone in your league noticed too. 9 targets is a big day, not a promise, and Week 2 is on the road at ATL. Let someone else pay for last Sunday.
