Jalen Coker News
Sunday, May 3, 11:19 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker had the start of his 2025 season delayed by a quad injury, which caused him to miss the first six games of the year. Upon his return, the 24-year-old hauled in 33 receptions for 394 yards and three touchdowns on 43 targets across 11 games. The Panthers added some talent to their wide receiver room this offseason, drafting University of Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell II in the third round of the 2026 Draft and signing former New York Jets wideout John Metchie III in free agency. Still, Coker appears set to open 2026 as the number two pass-catcher in Carolina alongside Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. If Coker can put together a fully healthy season, he could be in line for a breakout in his third NFL campaign. Coker's dynasty stock is rising entering 2026.

Jayden Higgins News
Monday, April 13, 7:07 PM
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins flashed upside during his rookie season in 2025, catching 41 passes for 525 yards and six touchdowns. He opened the year third on the depth chart but ultimately surpassed Christian Kirk, settling into the No. 2 receiver role behind Nico Collins. The Texans' receiver room remains a bit crowded going forward, as Tank Dell (knee) should return to the mix next season, and Jaylin Noel is also trending up. However, Higgins' track record from his rookie campaign suggests that he could remain penciled into the No. 2 role behind Collins. He totaled nine targets, four catches, 111 yards, two touchdowns, and 27.1 full-PPR fantasy points over his final two games last season. Given the momentum that he had near the end of the season, he's trending up this offseason and is a real threat to break out in Year 2. At the moment, the Iowa State product ranks as the #45 wide receiver in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
