Jalen Coker Should Excel Against Weak Defense in Week 7

Friday, October 23, 3:18 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker impressed in his Week 6 return, but can he keep it up in Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Coker had six receptions for 97 yards in Week 6 after being previously sidelined with a quadriceps injury. The third-year wideout also saw 75% of the snap share in that game, although it's likely his workload will balance out more with teammate Tetairoa McMillan against a struggling Buccaneers passing defense. Carolina has tougher defensive matchups down the road, but Coker should excel in a second straight healthy effort. Coker is a solid WR2 ahead of Week 7, with RotoBaller ranking him 18th in the position standings.

Emeka Egbuka Ruled Out for Sunday

Friday, October 23, 9:12 AM

Despite logging a limited practice participation on Friday, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka (concussion, foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Panthers. Egbuka has scored double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back contests after breaking a dry spell dating all the way back to Week 10 of his rookie season, but he will be unavailable for a game that projects to see starting quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) return from a two-game absence of his own. Mayfield has averaged only 205 passing yards in his three starts, and the Panthers have been a top-ten defense against fantasy wide receivers, making none of Tampa's remaining options particularly appealing despite a projected condensing of targets. That said, veteran Chris Godwin Jr. should be able to provide a usable floor in full-PPR formats.
