Jalen Coker emerges as fantasy football star for Panthers ahead of Week 7

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker is highlighted by ESPN as a fantasy football player to watch heading into Week 7. Coker, who is 6-foot-3 and 213 pounds, has seen an increase in his role as the No. 2 receiver and is recognized for his ability to make big plays. In Week 6, he achieved a career-high 97 receiving yards on 13 targets against the Philadelphia Eagles. This enhances his prospects as the Panthers prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who hold the league's 19th-ranked pass defense. Coker had previously led the team in receiving through two weeks before a quad injury sidelined him in Week 3.
