Keon Coleman Looking To Make The Most Of Limited Targets
5 months agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, one week removed from a career-high 125 receiving yards, won the NFL's Pepsi Zero Sugar Rookie of the Week honor. The seven targets he received in Week 7 are on the high end of what fantasy managers can expect in Week 8. Amari Cooper will command more targets in his second game with the team and Khalil Shakir is further removed from an ankle injury that cost him a game. Those two, plus tight end Dalton Kincaid, place Coleman fourth in the pecking order. He does have three catches of over 40 yards since Week 5. While Coleman's stock is rising, limited opportunities and big-play potential make him a boom-or-bust option in Week 8.

Keon Coleman Tough To Trust Against Chiefs Sunday
2 months agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continues to be an unreliable fantasy option ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie has progressed throughout his first season in the NFL, but he still remains an inferior option to Khalil Shakir in the Bills' passing attack. Coleman has just two catches over his last two games, totaling a mere 10 yards. He typically operates as a deeper perimeter threat within Buffalo's offense, which has added another layer of uncertainty to his profile. For example, he was targeted 57 times during the regular season but hauled in just 29 of those passes, giving him a concerning 50.9 percent catch rate. In fact, he had five catches on 17 targets between Weeks 17 and 18. His increased volume in those games was promising, but targets don't generate fantasy points. Until Coleman can start catching more passes on a consistent basis, he's tough to trust in fantasy football. That point is accentuated this week against the Chiefs, who have been incredibly stingy against players like Coleman. Kansas City allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to receivers operating out wide from Week 12 through Week 17.

Keon Coleman Projects To See Limited Opportunities In Divisional Round
2 months agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, who appeared to be separating himself from the pack before his wrist injury, is now a part of the problem. The Bills have a crowded wide receiver room and Josh Allen tends to spread the football around. Coleman has caught eight passes in the last five games, and just one for five yards in the Wild Card victory over the Denver Broncos. Still, the rookie may be the most dangerous downfield threat of the bunch. He is tied for the team lead for receptions longer than 25 yards (six) and trails Mack Hollins in receiving touchdowns (four). Coleman is a boom-or-bust DFS option with a low output more likely.

Keon Coleman A Boom-Or-Bust Option In Round 1
3 months agoFantasy managers using Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman this week better hope his receptions are of the downfield variety. He's not catching many passes. The rookie has logged one, one, three, and two receptions in the four weeks since his return from a wrist injury. While one of those catches went for 64 yards and he scored on another, Coleman has been more of a miss than a hit. If he can avoid matchups with star Denver cornerback Pat Surtain II, he may have a downfield look or two. That's about all fantasy managers can hang their hat on if using the second-round pick in fantasy lineups.

Keon Coleman Leads Buffalo In Targets In Season Finale
3 months agoBuffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught two of 10 targets for 31 yards in the team's 23-16 loss to the New England Patriots. He also rushed once for nine yards. Amari Cooper (family matter), Khalil Shakir, and Dalton Kincaid did not play, leaving several opportunities for the rookie. Four of his 10 targets came on consecutive plays on Buffalo's final drive. His targets came from backup quarterbacks Mitchell Trubisky and Mike White. Josh Allen played one snap only to extend his consecutive starts streak. Coleman will be an integral part of the Buffalo offense when the team hosts the Denver Broncos in the Wild Card round.
