Jalen Coker fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 9 (2024). Should you start or sit Jalen Coker for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Roster Coker, but don't start him outside the deepest of leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR5
ANALYSIS: With wide receiver Diontae Johnson now in Baltimore, Adam Thielen still on injured reserve, and rookie Xavier Legette being banged up at times, a path has opened up for Jalen Coker to produce for fantasy. An undrafted rookie free agent from Holy Cross, Coker burst onto the scene against the Denver Broncos in Week 8 with four receptions for 78 yards and one touchdown.
⭐️Jalen Coker vs. New Orleans⭐️
✅ Marshon Lattimore & Kool-Aid McKinstry OUT
✅ Saints are 26th in the NFL in adjusted fantasy points allowed to slot WRs
✅ Coker played more than 70% of his snaps in the slot in week 8
While we should temper expectations with the Panthers offense and quarterback Bryce Young, it is notable that the Saints will be missing two of their top cornerbacks and have fallen to 2-6 after starting 2-0.
Coker is worth rostering at this point, but we just need to see a little more consistency to feel good about him in our lineups each week.
BALLER MOVE: Sit in most leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-end RB3 ANALYSIS: So, that was a bit of a surprise. Entering Week 1, there were hints that rookie Kaelon Black was second on San Francisco's running back depth chart, but that wasn't fully confirmed until Jordan James was a healthy scratch. Black not only won the […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: High-end WR2 ANALYSIS: The Jacksonville Jaguars' wide receiver room was one of the most heavily discussed position groups in the fantasy community this offseason. All three wideouts were ranked closely together because some experts punted on the group and preferred not to mess with it, while others […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (ankle) is dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in Week 1. He suffered it in that game, putting up 33.8 PPR fantasy points and easily crushing all other Panthers pass-catchers in productivity. It was a surprising performance. […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in all leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline WR2 With Upside ANALYSIS: Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams has an abnormally high drop rate, which isn't great for his potential to earn more targets in his offense. That might not matter much, though. The Lions have a matchup with the Buffalo Bills coming up, […]
BALLER MOVE: Start in deeper 12+ team leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: Risky WR3 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce broke out last season with 47 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns. In the process, he easily led the NFL in yards per reception (minimum 40 receptions) and was one of its premier deep threats. […]
