Carolina Panthers DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad), who missed the last two games with a quad injury, was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. The rookie earned 17 targets over his previous three active games, which made him a fantasy football sleeper. However, his fantasy value when he returns to action could be limited following the return of Adam Thielen, who totaled 99 yards in last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Coker can play on Sunday, he's best left on the bench or waiver wire against a Philadelphia Eagles defense that has allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That said, he remains an intriguing dynasty league stash and potential DFS value down the stretch.

The Kansas City Chiefs placed kicker Spencer Shrader (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and signed kicker Matthew Wright to the 53-man active roster in a corresponding move. Shrader will be required to miss at least the next four games, meaning he won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale in Denver against the division-rival Broncos. Shrader was initially signed when the team put regular kicker Harrison Butker (knee) on IR, but he only made it two games with the Chiefs before getting injured himself. Butker will be eligible to come off IR in Week 15 to face the Cleveland Browns, so Wright could only stick around in KC for another week. Last week in the win over the Raiders, Wright made four of his five field-goal attempts and his only extra point. He'll be on the streaming radar on Sunday night against the Chargers in fantasy.

Per head coach Dave Canales, the Carolina Panthers are hoping to get wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) and tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck) back in the lineup for next Sunday's meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Steve Reed of The Associated Press reported the news. Both players missed all of last week's practices before being promptly ruled out for Week 13's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, they could potentially be available for a bout with a tough Eagles squad that's been stout against opponent's pass attacks this season. Philadelphia has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, so it's challenging to project either player for a meaningful fantasy day. Still, their practice participation leading up to Week 14 will be telling of their status for Sunday. Keep an eye out for Wednesday's report.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble recorded five catches on eight targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to Tampa Bay. The outing matched his total yards combined from his previous six games this season. The resurgence comes in the absence of rookie tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (neck), who was out and did not practice last week. While Tremble has not found the end zone this season, he could be worth a look in tight end premium leagues, especially if Sanders misses time. With six teams on the bye in Week 14, Tremble is a potential streamer in deep leagues against the Philadelphia Eagles if Sanders is out again.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore saw many balls thrown his way in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He caught five of nine targets for 40 yards. Moore has recently seen increased snaps and targets as standout rookie receiver Jalen Coker (quadriceps) remains out of the lineup. It's been a mixed bag, but managers would ultimately like to see a better catch percentage from the journeyman receiver, who has caught just 41% of his targets this year. His sustained relevance likely hinges on Coker's health going forward. Moore is on the FLEX radar in deep leagues against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 14 if Coker is inactive again.
