Jalen Coker Lining Up for Third-Year Breakout in 2026

Thursday, August 13, 7:39 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker is coming off a stellar finish to the 2025 season after starting on the PUP list with a quad injury. Coker hauled in 33 of 43 targets for 394 yards and three touchdowns in just 11 games, averaging 6.7 half-PPR fantasy points per game. He turned it up late last season, recording 28 receptions for 378 yards and four touchdowns over his final six games. The third-year receiver is looking to emerge even further in 2026, with a fully healthy training camp and preseason. Currently ranked WR52, Coker offers upside as a young, talented receiver with a strong connection to quarterback Bryce Young.

Denzel Boston Sees First-Team Snaps In Preseason Opener

Sunday, August 16, 9:42 AM

Cleveland Browns rookie wide receiver Denzel Boston saw time with the first team in the team's 34-10 preseason opening loss to the Chicago Bears. Boston caught a 15-yard pass from Deshaun Watson on the Browns' opening drive of the game. That was the lone catch of the game for Boston, who was targeted twice in all. Jerry Jeudy, like Boston, had two targets in the game and KC Concepcion saw four targets and rushed for a 14-yard TD. It is looking like Boston will be in the mix for top-three receiver targets for the Browns along with Jeudy and Concepcion. Boston should see his target share increase as the preseason progresses to see if he is ready for a starting role as a rookie.
