Keon Coleman Injury Update
Coleman’s rookie numbers, while limited, show promise. According to Pat Fitzmaurice of FantasyPros, Coleman's drawn a 13.6% target share, logged 2.02 yards per route run, and claimed a 19.4% first-read share.
Despite his limited playing time, he’s seen four red zone targets in his last three games, highlighting his role as a key weapon in scoring situations. With the Bills’ offense in need of a consistent perimeter threat, Coleman has shown flashes of being that guy, with three WR3 or better finishes (WR35, WR15, WR16) this season.

If Coleman suits up in Week 14, he’s stepping into a prime spot to make an impact. The Rams’ pass defense has struggled against outside receivers since Week 6, allowing the ninth-most receiving yards per game and 11th-most fantasy points per game to perimeter wideouts.
Coleman’s size, athleticism, and ability to stretch the field make him a strong flex or WR3 play this week, assuming he’s healthy enough to go. The matchup aligns perfectly with his skill set, and the Bills’ offense could use his dynamic playmaking ability to regain some balance.
Keon Coleman Fantasy Football Outlook
Looking beyond Week 14, Coleman’s value could continue to rise as the fantasy playoffs approach. The Bills face the Patriots in Week 16, another favorable matchup for perimeter receivers.
Since Week 6, New England has allowed the sixth-most receiving yards and fantasy points per game to outside receivers, putting Coleman in a position to shine if he’s fully recovered by then. His role as a red zone target and deep threat makes him a valuable asset in high-leverage games.

For fantasy managers, Coleman’s health remains the key factor. If he’s back this week, he’s a player worth trusting in your lineup, especially given the matchup. Even if he’s eased back into action, his potential as a game-changer in the Bills’ offense makes him a name to monitor closely.
Coleman’s talent and opportunity align perfectly for a strong finish to the season, and he could be a difference-maker down the stretch if he stays on the field.
