Keon Coleman, Keon Coleman has had an "Outstanding Offseason"
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has been a disappointment since the Bills took him 33rd overall in the second round in 2024 out of Florida State, catching 67 of his 116 targets for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 games (18 starts). In addition to inconsistent production on the field, tardiness to team meetings and a wrist injury limited the 23-year-old to only 13 games (six starts) in 2025 in his sophomore season. Coleman was involved in trade rumors this offseason, but the Bills' brass remains committed to him going forward, and despite the addition of receiver DJ Moore, he could have an elevated role in the passing attack in 2026. Per head coach Joe Brady, Coleman put together an "outstanding offseason" as he heads into a "make-or-break" season. Brady also said the young wideout has been "handling everything like a pro." Coleman has plenty of work to do to get himself back in the good graces of the Bills and fantasy managers, but if he can put himself on the straight and narrow, he has a clear path to being Buffalo's WR3 in Year 3 behind Moore and Khalil Shakir. Consider him a late-round sleeper dart thrown in redraft leagues and a buy-low target in dynasty.

Joshua Palmer, Joshua Palmer Has Little Dynasty Appeal Left
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is healthy enough to be back at minicamp, but his dynasty outlook still looks bleak after a rough first season in Buffalo. Palmer caught 22 of 37 targets for 303 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games, missing five contests before landing on Injured Reserve ahead of the playoffs. He said in June that he was close to his pre-injury form. That helps, though the target picture got worse. Buffalo traded for DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir remains in place, Keon Coleman is pushing for a larger role, and fourth-round rookie Skyler Bell adds another younger option. Palmer has topped 600 receiving yards once in five seasons, and even a contract running through 2027 does not guarantee enough volume to matter. RotoBaller ranks him WR126 in dynasty and WR113 for redraft. There is no reason for contenders to chase him, and rebuilders have better places to park a roster spot. Palmer is a sell if there is still a buyer, but otherwise he is a deep-league hold through camp rather than an automatic cut.

Ty Johnson, Ty Johnson More Watchlist Name Than Redraft Sleeper
Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson has carved out a real role in the offense, but it has not translated into much dependable fantasy value. He played all 17 games last season and finished with 50 carries for 200 yards and three touchdowns, adding 24 catches for 263 yards and two more scores on 33 targets. That is decent production for Buffalo's third back, though 74 total touches are not enough to make him someone fantasy managers need to draft. James Cook III remains firmly in control of the backfield, and Ray Davis would likely handle most of the early-down work if Cook were to miss time. Johnson should continue to mix in on passing downs and in change-of-pace situations, but that role is more useful to the Bills than it is to fantasy lineups. He is also 28 and entering the final year of his contract, so there is not much dynasty appeal either. Johnson belongs on the watchlist in deep PPR leagues, but he can be left undrafted in most formats.

Dawson Knox, Dawson Knox has Stash Value
Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox signed a new three-year extension with the organization this offseason. It was a bit surprising to see the Bills commit to a three-year deal with Knox, but it goes to show how much they value him on this roster. Knox is coming off a decent season in 2025. He recorded 36 receptions, 417 receiving yards, and four touchdowns across 17 games last season. Those aren't bad numbers for someone who is stuck behind Dalton Kincaid on the depth chart. The expectation is that Knox will continue being the primary backup tight end in Buffalo. He should be considered a touchdown-dependent TE2 while Kincaid is healthy. Dynasty managers who don't have a ton of depth at tight end should consider stashing Knox. The 29-year-old is capable of making plays when given the chance, but unfortunately, his opportunities are limited.

Khalil Shakir, Khalil Shakir Could Be Facing a Reduced Workload in 2026
Across 16 games (10 starts) in 2025, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Khalil Shakir recorded 72 catches for 719 yards and four touchdowns on 95 targets. The 26-year-old has been a high-floor, low-ceiling wide receiver option for fantasy managers in recent seasons, finishing as the WR37 in per-game PPR scoring in 2024 and the WR43 by the same measure in 2025. Shakir's primary usage in the Bills offense is as a short-area target out of the slot, as he averaged 10 yards per reception and 7.6 yards per target last year. Shakir has averaged 6.3 targets per game since the start of 2024, but he may not see such steady volume in 2026 following Buffalo's offseason acquisition of veteran wideout DJ Moore. Given Shakir's dependence on target volume for fantasy production, dynasty managers may want to consider moving him ahead of a possible workload decline in 2026.
