Who Should I Start? Allen Lazard or Jalen Coker

Sunday, November 30, 12:02 PM

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard (neck) is officially active for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Lazard was listed as questionable to play this week due to a neck injury, but he's good to go and will serve as receiver depth for a weak Jets passing attack led by veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Even though Garrett Wilson (knee) is on Injured Reserve, Lazard has been quickly passed on the WR depth chart by newcomers John Metchie III and Adonai Mitchell. The 29-year-old pass-catcher has not caught more than two passes in any of his seven games played in 2025, and he has just 54 receiving yards and one touchdown on eight catches. Lazard should be ignored in most fantasy football leagues against Atlanta on Sunday.

Jalen Coker came through with his best performance of the year in Week 13 against the Rams before going on bye. The Carolina WR registered 74 yards on four receptions with one touchdown. Coker finished the game with 17.4 PPR points, his highest total of the year. It was the second time in three weeks that he scored 11 or more PPR points. The Panthers will face the New Orleans Saints in Week 15. The Saints rank 11th in Fantasy Points Per game allowed to WRs this season. In Week 10, Coker finished with 5.1 PPR points on three receptions for 21 yards. Coker has not seen enough consistent volume to warrant a roster spot as the fantasy playoffs open. The WR has only been targeted more than four times in a game once this year. If your team advanced to the fantasy playoffs, you likely did not clinch a berth with Coker on the team.
