His 44 targets have averaged 10.7 air yards.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Jalen Coker played 11 games and scored 90.4 PPR points, 8.2 a game, finishing WR69.

He caught 33 of 43 targets for 394 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 3 red zone targets.

That came to 3.9 targets a game, a 77 percent catch rate and 11.9 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 68 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

Jadarian Price is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.

Side by side

Jalen Coker is a wide receiver and Jadarian Price a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Jalen Coker is off in Week 5 and Jadarian Price in Week 11, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

1.7 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
