If Coker Misses Time
Next man up: John Metchie III
John Metchie III is next on the Panthers depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Coker misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Bryce Young would lose one of his main options.
