Jalen Coker just leveraged his elite +27.6% Target Premium (No. 7 among league wideouts) and 66.7% Contested Catch Rate into a healthy three-year extension with incentives that max out the deal at $41 million.

Despite a quad injury sidelining him early in his sophomore year, the Holy Cross product proved his efficiency with a 2.10 Fantasy Points Per Target mark (No. 9) and a late-season scoring surge.

With the organization now fully invested in his success, Coker continues to be a high-floor smash in all fantasy football formats possessing a Michael Wilson 2025 celing.
