Who Should I Start? Alvin Kamara or Keon Coleman

Saturday, September 6, 10:26 AM

It's no surprise that New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara is locked in as the Saints' lead back ahead of Kendre Miller and rookie Devin Neal. Despite coaching changes, offensive line struggles, and shaky quarterback play, Kamara has averaged over 1,440 total yards and 10 touchdowns per season across eight years. The Saints' offense is likely to run through him, with Kamara handling the bulk of carries and seeing heavy involvement in the passing game. At 30, he enters the "dreaded" age for running backs, and it remains to be seen if his production as a pass-catcher will start to decline. With second-year QB Spencer Rattler under center, the offense as a whole is questionable, but Kamara profiles as a high-upside RB2 for Week 1 against the Cardinals.

Second-year receiver for the Buffalo Bills out of Florida State, Keon Coleman, led the Bills' receiving room in targets, receptions, and receiving yards on Sunday in the Bills' 41-40 win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday Night Football. Coleman was selected by the Bills in 2024 as their 33rd overall pick and struggled a bit in his rookie season, hauling in only 29 catches on 57 targets for 556 receiving yards and four touchdowns. Sunday night, however, Coleman splashed onto the scene and will likely be one of the most popular waiver wire pickups heading into Week 2. He hauled in an impressive eight of 11 targets for 112 yards and one receiving touchdown. Although his 10-yard touchdown was a ball that was deflected into his lap, he still led a potent offense in all three major categories (targets, receptions, and yards), and Allen appeared to feel comfortable firing balls his way in crucial moments of the game. Although Coleman isn't nearing must-start territory, he is worth a look if he's on your waiver wire heading into Week 2.
