Keon Coleman Diagnosed With Sprained Foot/Toe
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (foot/toe) has been diagnosed with a sprained foot/toe from Saturday's preseason opener against Carolina and is expected to miss some practice time. Coleman was in a walking boot on his right foot Tuesday, three days after catching a nine-yard touchdown from Josh Allen in Buffalo's 29-14 win. Head coach Joe Brady didn't sound overly concerned after the game, saying he believed Coleman would be fine while the team waited on the medical evaluation. Now there is a diagnosis, but still no return date. Coleman is heading into an important third season after catching 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games last year. He had put together a strong spring and summer before getting hurt. The walking boot makes the injury worth watching, but for now the only firm part is that Coleman will lose some practice time. How much remains unclear.

Keon Coleman Seen in a Walking Boot Following Preseason Injury
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (foot) was banged up in the team's preseason opener, appearing to favor his lower body after being tackled on a fourth-down converting catch. On Tuesday, he was seen wearing a walking boot on his right foot, according to Buffalo sports reporter Dan Fetes. Head coach Joe Brady had indicated after the game that the injury was not overly serious, but it now appears that Coleman will miss some time at the end of what has been a productive training camp. At RotoBaller's WR112, the third-year receiver was hardly factoring into 2026 draft plans, but any uncertainty surrounding the injury is now likely to see him removed from boards entirely.

Keon Coleman Banged Up in Preseason Opener
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman caught three passes in the team's preseason opener against the Panthers, including a nine-yard touchdown from Josh Allen on the second drive of the game, but he appeared to favor his lower body after being tackled on a fourth-down converting catch on the next drive. The Bills' first-team offense looked sharp in limited work, but both Coleman and DJ Moore got banged up and exited the game early. Head coach Joe Brady indicated after the game that neither situation is overly serious, and the Bills have a scheduled off day. Still, both statuses will need to be monitored in the lead-up to the regular season.

Keon Coleman Catches TD Pass, In Play for WR3 Role
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is attempting to earn himself a starting role during the preseason. The third-year wideout got off to a nice start during the first preseason contest against the Carolina Panthers. Coleman snagged three of his four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in the victory. His score came on a nine-yard pass from Josh Allen in the first quarter. The 23-year-old is trying to beat out Joshua Palmer and rookie Skyler Bell for the WR3 role in Buffalo this upcoming season. It's a small sample size, but Coleman appears to be building chemistry with Allen. He probably won't be a focal point in the offense, but Coleman could be worth a stash for dynasty managers willing to take a chance on him.

Keon Coleman's Solid Training Camp Could Put Him Back on Dynasty Radars
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has disappointed through his first two seasons after the team selected him in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Some offhand remarks by owner Terry Pegula further painted Coleman as an early offseason faller and a potential drop candidate in dynasty leagues, and the fantasy community buried him even deeper following the Bills' trade for DJ Moore and the drafting of Skyler Bell. By most accounts, however, Coleman has had a productive training camp, regularly seeing time with the first-team offense as part of a four-man rotation that includes Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer. A complementary role with lowered expectations could allow for further development and consistency, and while he still has not worked his way back into the 2026 redraft discussion, the perception around Coleman makes him a low-cost dynasty trade add-on who still has a chance to revive his career under a reshuffled coaching staff.

Keon Coleman Continues Strong Start to Bills Camp
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continued his strong start to training camp during Tuesday's one-on-one period. Rookie Watch reported that Coleman won all four of his reps against cornerback Maxwell Hairston, again using his size and catch radius to make plays at the catch point. The third-year receiver is trying to bounce back after finishing 2025 with 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games. Buffalo added DJ Moore to lead the outside passing game, while Khalil Shakir remains an established target for Josh Allen, so Coleman still has work to do before earning a dependable weekly role. The Bills have praised his improved preparation and understanding of the offense, and his recent camp performances are encouraging. Still, one-on-one drills favor receivers and do not settle the target hierarchy. Coleman is gaining momentum, but fantasy managers should wait to see the progress carry into team periods and preseason games.

Keon Coleman's Price Finally Matches the Risk
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has fallen far enough that the price finally matches the risk. He caught 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets last season, starting only six games. A wrist injury cost him time, and being late to team meetings cost him trust and opportunities. Buffalo did not clear the runway this offseason, either. DJ Moore joined Khalil Shakir atop the receiver room, while rookie Skyler Bell added another option. Still, head coach Joe Brady praised Coleman's offseason and plans to use him both inside and outside. RotoBaller ranks him WR92 in dynasty and WR109 for redraft, so nobody is paying for a breakout. That makes him a reasonable buy-low throw-in for rebuilders and a late dart in deeper drafts. Contenders just should not enter the season needing him in the lineup.

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.

Keon Coleman has Strong Offseason for Bills
Nick Wojton of Bills Wire lists Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman as an offseason winner. He had some big efforts during minicamp drills this month and took advantage of Joshua Palmer (ankle) missing time. It's exactly the type of offseason the 23-year-old needed to have after another disappointing season in his sophomore campaign in 2025, and after the Bills acquired DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears. The former second-rounder (33rd overall) in the 2024 NFL draft out of Florida State was also benched for several games last year for showing up late to team meetings. Drops and immaturity issues have plagued Coleman so far in his first two NFL seasons, as he's produced 67 catches on 116 targets for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 regular-season games (18 starts). Coleman took a step back a year ago, finishing with a 38-404-4 line in his 13 games played (six starts). He has fallen all the way to No. 109 in RotoBaller's WR ranks for the upcoming season, but the Bills have been clear that they aren't giving up on Coleman as he heads into Year 3.

Is Keon Coleman Worth Buying Low on in Dynasty Leagues?
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman had a year to forget in 2025. The 23-year-old recorded 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets across 13 games and was benched in several games down the stretch of the year for disciplinary reasons. Coleman has drawn compliments from the Bills' coaching staff for his work so far this offseason, so it's possible that he can work his way back into the good graces of the team. However, Buffalo acquired veteran wide receiver DJ Moore in March and used a fourth-round pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on wideout Skyler Bell. As a result, Coleman appears to be entering training camp without any guarantees of playing time or target volume. Coleman retains some upside if he can put it all together, which could make him an intriguing buy-low option for dynasty managers. Still, his fantasy profile contains significant risk entering 2026.

Is Keon Coleman Still Worthy of a Dynasty Roster Spot?
The 33rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has largely been a disappointment through the first two years of his professional career. The 23-year-old recorded 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets across 13 games in 2025 and was healthy-scratched for several games down the stretch of the year due to off-field issues. New Bills head coach Joe Brady has been complimentary of Coleman this offseason, and the way last year ended may have been the wakeup call that the young wide receiver needed to resurrect his career. However, Buffalo made a pair of notable additions to its wide receiver room this offseason by trading for veteran DJ Moore and selecting Skyler Bell in the fourth round of the 2026 Draft. With wide receivers Joshua Palmer, Khalil Shakir, and Tyrell Shavers also in the mix in Buffalo, Coleman's playing time in 2026 is far from guaranteed. He's flashed upside at different points in his career and retains some degree of fantasy potential, but dynasty managers can still consider moving on from Coleman in search of other wide receiver options ahead of 2026.

Bills Aren't Giving Up on Keon Coleman
Buffalo Bills president of football operations and general manager Brandon Beane has supported wide receiver Keon Coleman during recent interviews, and he even said the Bills "shut down" a couple of teams that reached out to Buffalo with trade interest in Coleman earlier this offseason. Beane said that Buffalo's intention is for "Keon to be here," and also said the Bills have "hit the reset button with him." Both Beane and new head coach Joe Brady have spoken highly of the work that Coleman has put in this offseason. The 22-year-old former second-rounder in 2024 out of Florida State has been a disappointment for the team in his two NFL seasons, both on and off the field. He regressed in 2025, catching 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 regular-season games. The Bills' front office and coaching staff might not be giving up on Coleman, but there's no denying that his fantasy stock in dynasty/keeper leagues has dropped significantly. There will be added competition after the Bills acquired DJ Moore in a trade with Chicago, and drafted Skyler Bell out of UConn in the fourth round.

Can Keon Coleman be Dropped in Dynasty Fantasy Football?
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is coming off another disappointing season in which he caught a modest 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns. He didn't live up to his expectations as a former first-round pick, ranking as the WR60 in PPR leagues. He wasn't a worthwhile fantasy starter, and yet that was still the best fantasy finish of his young career. The second-year pass-catcher ended up missing four games due to performance and disciplinary reasons, falling out of favor with former head coach Sean McDermott. While McDermott is no longer in Buffalo, new head coach Joe Brady was the team's offensive coordinator last year and presumably has similar feelings about Coleman as his predecessor. The elephant in the room is the fact that Buffalo went out and traded for DJ Moore this offseason. At best, Coleman is stuck behind Moore and Khalil Shakir on the depth chart. However, he could also end up behind Tyrell Shavers and any potential rookie draft pick. Furthermore, there's a real chance that he could finish with fewer targets than tight end Dawson Knox, tight end Dalton Kincaid, or both. Just two years into his NFL career, it seems like Coleman needs a new chapter and a fresh start. For now, though, he remains a Bill, and his path to any sort of fantasy relevance is highly improbable. He should be stashed in deeper fantasy leagues and dropped in shallower formats.

Keon Coleman Falling Out of Favor Despite Head Coaching Change?
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman found himself in the doghouse last year, and he continues to face an uphill battle to produce, even after the team made a change at head coach. Between production-related concerns and disciplinary issues, Coleman missed four games last year, finishing the season with a modest 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns. He has yet to finish higher than WR60 in his two seasons in the league. The Bills fired head coach Sean McDermott and replaced him with offensive coordinator Joe Brady. Therefore, even though there's a new face in charge, it's still someone with a strong existing connection to Coleman. Furthermore, Coleman's fantasy managers should be concerned that the Bills went out and traded a second-round pick for DJ Moore. The 22-year-old is now buried on the depth chart behind Moore and Khalil Shakir, and he's not a lock to beat out Joshua Palmer or Tyrell Shavers, either. Coleman has minimal trade value in dynasty fantasy football, so he can be dropped in shallower leagues or merely held in deeper formats.

Keon Coleman Enters 2026 with an Unknown Role in Buffalo
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is coming off a deflating sophomore season after being a trendy sleeper during fantasy drafts. Coleman finished the season with 38 catches for 404 receiving yards with four touchdowns on 59 targets. The 22-year-old was a healthy scratch during multiple games in 2025 due to disciplinary reasons and maturity issues. Coleman took the brunt of an ugly breakout between the Bills organization and former head coach Sean McDermott by receiving public criticism. However, newly hired head coach Joe Brady claimed that his hiring is the "best thing" that could have happened for Coleman. With the lack of a clear WR1 in Buffalo and support from his new head coach, Coleman has a glimpse of hope to save his career in Buffalo. Coleman will remain a late-round dart throw in dynasty leagues with mysterious upside.

Keon Coleman's Value Dropping Drastically After Sophomore Season
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman hasn't played a game since mid-January, but perhaps no player has had a rougher transition into the offseason. After a disappointing sophomore season that saw him catch 38 passes for 404 yards and four touchdowns, Coleman's name was front and center as the Bills transitioned from long-time head coach Sean McDermott to former offensive coordinator Joe Brady. With Bills owner Terry Pegula publicly insinuating that Coleman's second-round selection in the 2024 draft was not unanimously agreed upon in the draft room, he put general manager Brandon Beane and new head coach Brady in a position to do damage control. Coleman had already seen his dynasty value tumble throughout 2025, as he was made a healthy scratch on multiple occasions, but it currently sits at an all-time low, making him a nearly impossible sell.

Keon Coleman Has Plenty to Prove Amidst Coaching Changes in Buffalo
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman had a rough year in 2025, recording 38 receptions for 404 yards and four touchdowns on 59 targets across 13 games played. Despite his team desperately needing pass-catching help for much of the season, the 22-year-old was a healthy scratch for multiple games and had his maturity called into question by team officials. The Bills moved on from long-time head coach Sean McDermott after losing to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round. McDermott's firing could mean a fresh start for Coleman with a new coaching staff, which could work to his benefit. However, Buffalo retained general manager Brandon Beane, and Bills owner Terry Pegula recently insinuated that Coleman's selection in the 2024 NFL Draft was more McDermott's call than Beane's. Depending on how Buffalo addresses the wide receiver position during the offseason, Coleman's status with the Bills could be in question heading into 2026.

Bills Coaching Staff Pushed to Draft Keon Coleman in 2024
Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula pinned the selection of wide receiver Keon Coleman in the 2024 draft on the coaching staff and said that general manager Brandon Beane was "being a team player," and that Coleman wasn't at the top of Beane's list at the time, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. Buffalo fired head coach Sean McDermott on Monday and promoted Beane to president of football operations. The Bills drafted Coleman in the second round in 2024 out of Florida State, and he's been a bust in his two seasons with the team, catching 67 of 116 targets for 970 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 games. Not only has his production been a disappointment, but he has also dealt with maturity issues and has been suspended by the team for his actions off the field, which include arriving late to a team meeting. With McDermott now gone, that doesn't bode well for Coleman being able to turn things around in Year 3.

Keon Coleman Expected to Play Against Jaguars
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, who has been a healthy scratch for several games this season, is expected to play in the team's Wild Card matchup with the Jaguars and could see an expanded role, according to Cameron Wolfe. Joshua Palmer has been downgraded to Out ahead of Sunday's contest, leaving Coleman and Khalil Shakir firmly atop the wide receiver depth chart. With the two of them combining for just over 1,000 yards and four touchdowns on the year, one or both will need to take a monumental leap forward if Buffalo hopes to notch its first road playoff victory since 1992. Josh Allen is 0-4 in road playoff games and will be looking for contributions from his receiver room wherever he can find them.

Keon Coleman Returns to Action in Week 18
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is officially active for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New York Jets. The second-year receiver had been a healthy scratch for the last two games but returns to action on Sunday with Brandin Cooks (coach's decision) inactive. Through 12 games this year, Coleman has amassed 36 catches, 355 yards, and four touchdowns. The Florida State product was benched at times this season for both on-field and off-field reasons, but he'll get a chance to make an impact in the regular-season finale. The Bills might opt to rest key starters for some or all of Sunday's game since they've secured a Wild Card berth. If someone like Khalil Shakir handles reduced snaps, Coleman could benefit in his depth role.
