Keon Coleman, Bills - Fantasy Football Outlook

The Buffalo Bills kicked off the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft by selecting Keon Coleman 33rd overall. The Florida State standout fits the sizeable "X" receiver mold that Buffalo needed following the loss of Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis, who combined for 15 receiving touchdowns and nearly 2,000 yards in 2023. At 6-foot-3, Coleman is capable of "Mossing" defenders and creating big plays over the top via contested catches.

But this skill is connected to a lack of agility and separation that requires him to win with little space. PFF cited Coleman with an 11th-percentile grade in separation percentage against single coverage since 2021, yet he scored 11 touchdowns for FSU on just 50 catches. Josh Allen boasts a big arm and won't shy from taking deep shots, but Allen also scored 15 rushing TDs and is the alpha for red-zone opportunities.

It's worth noting that fellow WR starters Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel are 3-4 inches shorter than Coleman. The rookie might be a red-zone weapon out of the gate in an offense where teams can't afford to pull safety help away from the line of scrimmage, which could put him into the top-30 WR conversation.

Xavier Worthy, Chiefs - Fantasy Football Outlook

Texas WR Xavier Worthy was taken 28th overall by the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2024 NFL Draft. Any receiver who gets to play with Patrick Mahomes is automatically intriguing, let alone one who the team deems worthy of a first-round pick. And especially one who set the NFL Combine record for the 40-yard dash at 4.21 seconds.

Worthy is more than a strict burner as well, posting low drop rates around 5-6% outside of 2022 when he played through a broken hand (and a change at QB). Worthy gives them another shot at filling Tyreek Hill's sprinter shoes. The big-play threat mixed with Patrick Mahomes' arm makes Worthy enticing in best ball as a fourth or fifth wideout, while Rice's status will determine his seasonal redraft outlook.

Ladd McConkey, Chargers - Fantasy Football Outlook

The new-look Los Angeles Chargers used the 34th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft to select Ladd McConkey as they reset their wide receiver corps. McConkey's college career began on Georgia's scout team but he would soon emerge as a reliable option who averaged 14.2 yards per catch with 18 total TDs in 39 games. The 75.3% catch rate helped make the most of his opportunities on a run-happy Georgia team.

He also returned 21 punts there, averaging 13.3 yards per return. We know Justin Herbert has a massive arm, but he's now without Keenan Allen, Mike Williams, Austin Ekeler, and Gerald Everett. That's over 225 vacated targets. Their 2023 first-rounder, Quentin Johnston, supplied little reason for optimism going into 2024 and Joshua Palmer is not a No. 1 receiver, which means the door is open for McConkey to be Herbert's primary target.

Jim Harbaugh's return to the NFL may bring a balanced rushing attack, but McConkey is sure to be involved as a PPR magnet thanks to being a crisp route-runner with plus hands. He may struggle to secure enough yards or TDs to separate from the pack in non-PPR formats, but a WR3 in PPR is viable.
