After missing the first six weeks with a quad injury, he roared back with 33 catches, 394 yards, and 3 TDs — then lit up the final five games with 19 catches, 244 yards, and 3 scores. His NFC Wild Card game against the Rams? Nine catches, 134 yards, and a TD. In his last six games, he racked up 28 receptions, 378 yards, and 4 touchdowns — while boosting his catch percentage to over 75% and averaging nearly 4 more yards per catch than his rookie year. Alongside rookie Tetairoa McMillan, Coker became Bryce Young’s most dangerous duo down the stretch, proving he’s not just a late-season spark — he’s a rising star with elite upside. The question now? Can he stay healthy and sustain this breakout over a full season? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
