Who Should I Start? Ray-Ray McCloud III or Jalen Coker

Sunday, November 9, 12:29 AM

According to Dan Salomone of Giants.com, the New York Giants have elevated wide receiver Ray-Ray McCloud III from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup with the hosting Chicago Bears. McCloud III will suit up for a second consecutive game for the Giants after joining the squad roughly two weeks ago. In his debut, the 29-year-old played the second-most snaps of all New York wideouts (91%). However, he was targeted just once (1/5). While he may boast more work as he becomes more comfortable in his new surroundings, the Giants' passing offense has not found consistent success supporting multiple fantasy wide receivers. McCloud III will rank as RotoBaller's PPR WR88 for his clash with Chicago.

Jalen Coker might be worth consideration for fantasy lineups in Week 10 against the Saints. The second-year wide receiver has not been an effective fantasy performer so far in 2025, as he has only 45 receiving yards in three games played. On Friday's injury report, though, top Carolina WR Tetairoa McMillan was listed as limited in practice due to a hamstring injury and is now questionable to start in Week 10. If McMillan is out, Coker might see an increased target share as a quality contributor in the Panthers' passing attack. The Saints have been vulnerable to WRs in the last four weeks, giving up 34.73 fantasy points against the position, which ranks 25th-most among all NFL teams. Fantasy players should monitor McMillan's status, and if he is unable to play, Coker becomes a possible flex option in Week 10. Coker did show some promise late last season and may produce quality fantasy totals in a favorable matchup.
