Adam Thielen declares Jalen Coker best receiver for Panthers

Former Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen endorsed Jalen Coker as the team's best receiver during an appearance on Matthew Berry's fantasy football show. Thielen praised Coker's size, speed, and refined route running, noting that he recorded a career-high 138 receiving yards and two touchdowns in the recent season opener. Thielen's comments were seen in the context of a comparison to 2025 first-round draft pick Tetairoa McMillan, who led the team in receiving yards last season. Coker's performance in recent games suggests he is emerging as a key offensive player for the Panthers.
