Jalen Coker at Green Bay — Cleared of Injury and Set for Heavy Slot Usage

Coker is off the injury report after shaking off a shoulder issue and heads into Thursday night fully healthy as Carolina's primary slot receiver. With Xavier Legette on injured reserve and an offensive line missing multiple starters, Coker should serve as Bryce Young's trusted quick-outlet option.

Our projections anticipate over eight targets, around five catches, and roughly 61 receiving yards for 13.1 fantasy points. Currently started in nearly 80% of fantasy leagues, his reliable target share cements him as a dependable weekly starter and high-floor PPR option.

Outlook Jonathan Taylor

Heavy Workload Expected in Jacksonville Despite Trade Speculation

Despite rampant trade speculation leading up to the deadline, head coach Shane Steichen affirmed Jonathan Taylor has not requested a move, keeping him locked in as the engine of Indianapolis' backfield. Taylor remains fully healthy and has maintained heavy volume, handling 39 carries over the past two weeks with continued home-run potential.

Our weekly projection anticipates roughly 15 carries, 64 rushing yards, and strong touchdown equity at Jacksonville. Even with the Colts entering as heavy 10-point underdogs, Taylor's steady involvement as a receiver—earning seven targets over his last two games—cements a stable floor and dynamic ceiling. Fantasy managers should confidently start him in all lineups.
