Outlook De'Zhaun Stribling
Explosive Preseason Surge Positions Dynamic Rookie for Immediate Target Share
De'Zhaun Stribling emerged as one of the biggest revelations of August, showcasing reliable hands and generating historic preseason buzz. Although a minor shoulder issue briefly limited him in practice, reports indicate the rookie is in line for a meaningful role right away in San Francisco's offense.
Competing alongside veterans Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr., and Christian Kirk, Stribling will have to battle for weekly volume in a crowded passing attack. Nevertheless, with Ricky Pearsall sidelined on injured reserve, our projections anticipate a solid rotational impact of 45 receptions, 475 yards, and three touchdowns.
Fantasy managers have taken notice of his rapid ascent. Stribling's ADP surged from pick 224 in late July to around 168 in 1.0 PPR formats, while his roster percentage climbed to 69%. At this shifting market price, our data views him as an intriguing late-round bench stash with upside.

Outlook Jalen Coker
Ascending Slot Weapon Primed for Expanded Role in Carolina
After securing a three-year contract extension this offseason, Jalen Coker enters 2026 firmly established as Carolina's primary slot weapon. Working alongside Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette, Coker's rapport with Bryce Young provides him with a reliable target baseline in the Panthers' evolving passing attack.
Coming off a solid 2025 campaign where he tallied 45 catches and four touchdowns, we project Coker to take another step forward. Our models forecast 57 receptions on 80 targets for 700 yards and five scores (153.0 PPR fantasy points), highlighting a dependable weekly floor.
While his league ownership has steadily risen to 56%, his draft ADP has drifted from the early 130s down to around pick 181. In full PPR formats, this late-summer market discount turns Coker into a sneaky value stash capable of easily outperforming his late-round draft capital.
