Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (wrist) is dealing with a wrist injury heading into the team's bye week in Week 12. He wasn't able to play in Weeks 10 or 11 due to the issue that he picked up in or after Week 9.
It's been a frustrating road bump in what was shaping up to be a great rookie season, but these things happen in the NFL. A sport where insanely talented athletes slam into each other and fall to the ground at high speeds is bound to result in bodily harm. =
So when will Coleman return to play for Buffalo?

Keon Coleman Injury Update for Fantasy Football
As recently as Wednesday, November 13, Coleman wasn't participating in practice but was working off to the side with trainers. It seems likely then that at that point he wasn't able to safely catch passes without re-aggravating his injury, or at least can't fall on his wrist.

We don't have the exact diagnosis he received from his doctors, and even they may not have a clear return timetable set for him. But whether a player is placed on IR can help fantasy managers immensely. If a team is confident its player won't return to play before four weeks have elapsed, they'll typically put them on injured reserve.
So there's a solid chance Coleman can return after the bye, and if not, the week after that.
Keon Coleman Fantasy Football Outlook
It seemed that we were in the midst of the rookie's breakout before he went down with his injury. In his last two fully healthy games, he caught four of his seven targets for 125 yards (Week 7) and five of seven throws for 70 yards and a touchdown, racking up 16.4 and 18.0 PPR fantasy points across those contests.

It seems like he's quickly built trust with quarterback Josh Allen, who loved Coleman as a prospect for his ability to make contested catches. Allen seems happy to throw 50-50 balls his way, and the freshman has already made a few highlight-reel grabs on those throws.
If he can return to full health, he's a WR3/FLEX moving forward. His play style could lead to boom-or-bust production, but upside wins championships, as they say.
