After being a healthy scratch for the team's previous two contests, it's fair for fantasy managers to wonder if the Buffalo Bills have soured on wide receiver Keon Coleman. Coleman began the season with a bang, sporting an 8/112/1 line after the campaign's first week. Since then, though, he'd eclipsed three catches and 45 yards in a game just once, and has yet to suit up since being late for a team meeting ahead of their Week 11 win over the Buccaneers. Per head coach Sean McDermott, the 22-year-old's benching the following week was not disciplinary. Either way, it's tough for owners to trust Coleman, as his lack of consistent production makes him too volatile a fantasy asset. He can be dropped in shallow formats if he was not already.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver Keon Coleman being a healthy scratch in last Thursday night's loss to the Houston Texans was not discipline-related but was due to the short run-up to the game, according to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic. McDermott said the Bills will "take things one day at a time" with Coleman. McDermott didn't exactly clarify if Coleman will be active for this Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, but it would be a surprise if the second-year wideout was not back on the field after being held out the last two games. The 22-year-old was a healthy scratch in Week 11 after being late to a team meeting that Friday. Coleman has been a big disappointment for the Bills and fantasy managers in 2025, catching 32 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets. He'll be pretty hard to trust as a WR4/flex play in fantasy in Week 13 if he's active.

Buffalo Bills second-year wide receiver out of Florida State, Keon Coleman, was benched for the second straight week and did not suit up for the Bills' Thursday Night Football game against the Houston Texans. The Bills fell short, losing 23-19, and have now fallen to (7-4) on the season. The offense was a bit of a mess on Thursday night, due in large part to the spectacular Texans defense and to Coleman and Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) being out. Because of this, Khalil Shakir had a big game, leading the pass-catching room with 10 targets in a game that required quarterback Josh Allen to throw the football 34 times. At this point, Coleman has 32 receptions for 330 yards and three touchdowns on the season, and is not performing on the field to the level the Bills want him to be, nor in the classroom, where he consistently shows up late for meetings, which is why he was benched in the first place. At this point, Coleman can be dropped in all fantasy formats if needed and remains a dynasty stash at best.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman will be a healthy scratch for a second straight game on Thursday night against the Houston Texans, a source told ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg. The Bills held Coleman out of last Sunday's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he was late to a team meeting last Friday. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and receiver Curtis Samuel (elbow, neck) have been ruled out, and Mecole Hardman (calf) was put on Injured Reserve, so Buffalo's offense isn't exactly teeming with weapons for quarterback Josh Allen. Coleman, 22, will be missing his fourth game in two years due to disciplinary reasons, and he's quickly turned into a bust for the Bills and fantasy managers. He has 32 catches this year for 330 yards and three touchdowns. With Coleman out again, Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers will have bigger roles alongside Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman could be a healthy scratch again in Week 12. On the WGR550 radio show, head coach Sean McDermott didn't specify whether Coleman would play against the Houston Texans. The 2024 second-round pick has been inconsistent this season, hauling in 32 of 49 targets for 330 yards and three touchdowns in nine games. He was late to a team meeting last week, and the team decided to sit him as punishment against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Coleman is out again in Week 12, Gabe Davis and Tyrell Shavers would see an uptick in volume. Fantasy managers will have to keep a close eye on this situation to see if Coleman will or will not play in Week 12.

Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is inactive on Sunday as a healthy scratch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11 because he missed a team meeting on Friday morning, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Until then, the Bills planned to play him, but their plans changed after Coleman missed the meeting. Buffalo will also be without tight end Dalton Kincaid after he injured his hamstring in last week's upset loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 22-year-old second-year wideout caught his third touchdown of the year in Week 10, but overall, Coleman has been a big disappointment for Buffalo and his fantasy managers in 2025 with 32 total catches for 330 yards and three scores in nine games played. With Coleman now out on Sunday, Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, and Curtis Samuel should be Buffalo's top receivers, with tight end Dawson Knox also seeing a notable boost in target share.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (coach's decision) will be a healthy scratch ahead of Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. His absence is described as a coach's decision, but he's not being benched for performance-based reasons. In fact, Coleman reportedly had a strong week of practice. However, the coaching staff "wants to see more from him in other areas," according to Schultz. The 22-year-old has been relatively underwhelming in his second pro season, catching 32 passes for 330 yards and three touchdowns with one lost fumble through nine games. Mecole Hardman and Gabe Davis are expected to handle more opportunities in the passing game behind Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, and Curtis Samuel.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has mostly been a frustrating player for fantasy managers so far this season, recording 32 catches for 330 yards and three touchdowns on 49 targets across nine games. However, Coleman is coming off one of his better outings in Week 10, hauling in three catches for 46 yards and a touchdown on eight targets against the Miami Dolphins. There's reason to believe that the 22-year-old's increased target volume could carry over into his Week 11 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, as Buffalo will be without one of its top pass-catchers in tight end Dalton Kincaid (hamstring). However, the Bills will get veteran wideout Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) back on the field for the first time since Week 4, which could cut into Coleman's opportunities. Coleman's production has almost directly correlated with his team's pass volume so far this season. The three games where Bills quarterback Josh Allen has cracked 30 pass attempts this season are the only three games where Coleman has earned seven or more targets. He profiles as a boom/bust low-end WR3 in Week 11, and fantasy managers should be hoping for Buffalo to be forced into a pass-happy game script against Tampa Bay.
Nov 15, 2025 12:53 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman bounced back in Week 10, catching three of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the surprising 30-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins. After his explosive Week 1 performance raised expectations for a breakout season, Coleman has topped 40 yards just twice since then, leaving some fantasy managers debating whether to move on. However, he remains one of Josh Allen's top targets alongside Khalil Shakir. Notably, in the only two games this season where Allen has thrown for more than 275 yards, Coleman has delivered strong outings. His fantasy value is tightly tied to Allen's production, which suggests brighter days could be ahead. While consistency will likely remain an issue, Coleman still carries upside whenever the Bills' passing attack gets rolling.
Nov 13, 2025 10:12 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has seen his targets diminished as the offense continues to focus on Khalil Shakir and Dalton Kincaid in the passing game. The Bills' reliance on their running game, first in the NFL with 161.5 yards per game, also factors into Coleman's diminished targets. The second-year receiver saw just two targets last week and hasn't eclipsed 50 yards in a game since Week 1. Coleman should not be started in any format until he can carve out a consistent role in the Bills' explosive offense.
Nov 8, 2025 12:54 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has continued to see looks as a top-three option in the passing game heading into Week 9. Coleman has garnered 39 targets, resulting in 27 receptions for 267 yards and two touchdowns through seven games. Despite trailing Khalil Shakir in targets, Coleman has led the Bills in snap share in all but one game this season. With the 22-year-old wideout seeing consistent reps, his target load should only grow as quarterback Josh Allen continues to build trust with his second-year weapon. Coleman is on pace to improve upon his rookie campaign, which saw him haul in 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns. With the Bills taking on a stingy Chiefs defense, Coleman could see enough looks to sneak into lineups as a flex play in deeper leagues.
Nov 1, 2025 5:02 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continues to operate as an every-down receiver, logging 86% of the team's snaps in Week 6. Despite the playing time, Coleman has failed to eclipse 50 receiving yards in any game since their Week 1 matchup with the Ravens. With his target share limited, Coleman has become tough to trust on an offense that has spread the ball around in the passing game and leaned heavily on their rushing attack. With Joshua Palmer (knee/ankle) out and Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable, Coleman could see a rise in targets, but will need to show some consistency before jumping back into a fantasy lineup. Continue to proceed cautiously with the young receiver.
Oct 25, 2025 2:27 PM EST
Since Buffalo Bills second-year wide receiver Keon Coleman had an eight-catch, 112-yard, one-touchdown performance in the season opener against the Baltimore Ravens, he has 16 catches for 125 yards and one touchdown on 24 targets in five games. He was benched at the start of the Week 5 loss to the New England Patriots for disciplinary reasons and has seven grabs for only 34 yards and a touchdown in the last two games. During the bye last week, Coleman tweeted "Say Less" with a handshake emoji, but deleted it almost immediately. It's unclear what exactly the 22-year-old meant by it, but fantasy managers are just wondering if he'll be able to turn it around in Week 8 against the Carolina Panthers. Coleman hasn't shown much chemistry with quarterback Josh Allen, and it wasn't a good sign that he couldn't make an impact in Week 6 with tight end Dalton Kincaid and receiver Curtis Samuel out due to injuries. Maybe the Bills will force the issue with Coleman coming out of their bye, but it's hard to recommend him as a flex play against a Carolina defense that has been stingy against opposing receivers in terms of fantasy points this year.
Oct 21, 2025 7:41 PM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman will look to bounce back in Week 6 after cooling off since his explosive eight-catch, 112-yard debut. Over his last four games, Coleman has averaged just 3.3 receptions for 28.5 yards while posting a modest 10.8 yards per catch--a steep drop from his 19.2 average as a rookie. The 22-year-old could see a slight boost in usage if tight end Dalton Kincaid (oblique) is sidelined, but he'll face a tough test against the Falcons' top-ranked pass defense. Atlanta has stifled opposing wideouts all season, and Coleman's fantasy value will likely hinge on volume and red zone looks. He remains a risky, touchdown-dependent WR4 heading into Monday night's matchup.
Oct 11, 2025 2:19 PM EST
Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said wide receiver Keon Coleman did not play in the team's first offensive series against the New England Patriots in Week 5 for disciplinary reasons. Per The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia, McDermott also said that the disciplinary action stemmed from an incident in practice, and that the Bills "expect more" from the second-year wideout. Coleman recorded four catches for 23 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Week 5. For the season, he's hauled in 21 catches for 226 yards and two scores on 29 targets. It doesn't seem as though this incident will impact Coleman's playing time going forward, but it's still not a good sign for the 22-year-old. He profiles as a fantasy WR3/flex option heading into a Week 6 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons.
Oct 6, 2025 9:46 PM EST
Buffalo Bills rookie wide receiver Keon Coleman may lead the team in total targets through four weeks, but that number is misleading, as nearly half of those opportunities came in the season opener. Since Week 1, Coleman has settled into a smaller role, recording just three catches on four targets in each of the last three games. While he has been reliable when called upon, his inability to create big gains after the catch has limited his fantasy impact. For now, Coleman is best left on benches in most formats, with only low-end flex appeal if his target share rebounds. Fantasy managers should monitor his usage closely in Week 5, but until he's featured more consistently in the passing game, his value remains capped.
Oct 4, 2025 6:19 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has cooled off considerably since his strong Week 1 breakout. Over the past two games, Coleman has totaled only six receptions for 46 yards, as the Bills have shifted toward a more run-heavy approach. Positive game script has also limited his involvement, with Buffalo holding comfortable leads in Weeks 2 and 3 and relying less on Josh Allen's arm. That trend could continue in Week 4, as the Bills are 15.5-point favorites against the New Orleans Saints. The matchup itself is relatively easy, with New Orleans allowing the 10th-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Given the reduced usage and expected negative game script, Coleman should be viewed as a risky FLEX play rather than a reliable starter.
Sep 27, 2025 11:12 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has been quiet over the past two weeks. After an explosive Week 1 performance with eight catches for 112 yards and a touchdown, the second-year wideout has managed just three receptions for fewer than 25 yards in each of his last two outings. Part of the issue is Buffalo's offensive approach. The Bills currently lead the NFL in rushing yards per game (163), and their run-heavy game plan has minimized Coleman's fantasy impact. His snap share of 72% is close compared to rookie season, and the recent dip in production the past two weeks has hurt his value. Coleman draws the New Orleans Saints in Week 4, a defense that has allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. An efficient bounce-back is possible, but given his recent trend, Coleman is best left on fantasy benches this week.
Sep 25, 2025 10:35 AM EST
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, the team's leading pass catcher so far this season, will enter a favorable matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 3. Miami, which may go without injured starting cornerback Storm Duck (ankle), hasn't had an answer for opposing passing games this year. The Dolphins are giving up 33 points per game and have allowed the NFL's highest completion percentage (78.8). That looks auspicious for Coleman, who caught all three targets for a modest 26 yards against No. 1 cornerback Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets' secondary last Sunday. The Bills beat the Jets handily while leaning on the run, whereas they took a pass-happy approach in a Week 1 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Coleman looked like a budding star in the opener. While the second-year man remains unproven, he should be among the beneficiaries if Buffalo's Josh Allen-led aerial attack rebounds from an underwhelming Week 2 performance on Thursday.
Sep 17, 2025 1:37 PM EST
Keon Coleman was the Buffalo Bills' leading receiver in Week 1, securing eight catches on 11 targets for 112 yards and a touchdown in a 41-40 defeat of the Baltimore Ravens. Coleman's numbers nosedived in Week 2, though, as the team took a run-first approach in a 30-10 win over the New York Jets. The second-year man only picked up three targets, catching each of them for a total of 26 yards. He had another reception that was called back on an offensive pass interference penalty. It wasn't the performance fantasy managers wanted, but it wasn't all that surprising with shutdown cornerback Sauce Gardner leading the Jets' secondary. On paper, Coleman looks as if he'll have an easier time Thursday against the Miami Dolphins, who have allowed the league's worst completion percentage (78.8) in the early going. Coleman accounted for just one reception (three targets) for 21 yards in two games against the Dolphins as a rookie in 2024, but he's clearly a bigger part of the Bills' offense this season.
