Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Keon Coleman

Thursday, November 27, 1:07 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (shoulder/chest/illness) did not participate in Wednesday's practice, making it the second consecutive day that he's missed. Smith was able to find his rhythm again last week, being targeted 11 times for six catches and 89 yards, so it would be an unfortunate shot to any momentum he's built if he's forced to sit out. If he plays against Chicago on Friday, he'll be up against a defense that has allowed 22 receiving touchdowns in 11 games. Given their track record this season, you never know when an Eagles receiver might boom or bust, but it seems like the corps as a whole has been hitting its stride recently. Consider Smith a low-end WR2/FLEX option if he's available.

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.
