Org environment ×0.99
Team pass/rush volume vs league — scheme residual, not a second projection.
Quick answer
BuyCoker caught 18 passes for 222 yards in 2026, ranking WR28 through 3 games. The running rank is WR28 through 3 games, from WR67. Don't treat that like a season finish. Played a short 2025 (11 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The trend line says buy: this is a climb, not a name you're paying nostalgia tax for.
