Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Keon Coleman

Monday, February 10, 12:31 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of his five targets for 69 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old epitomized consistency over the last month, catching exactly four passes in each of his four playoff games. At times, Smith has looked more productive than A.J. Brown, and he got the edge over his teammate on Sunday by pacing all Eagles receivers in catches and yards. Although Smith himself had some inconsistent moments throughout the regular season, there is no denying that he is a talented player in an incredibly potent offense. Even as he loses some opportunities to Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Hurts, there is clearly a path for Smith to finish as a mid-range WR2 in 2025 fantasy football.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman had a modest rookie season after being selected in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Michigan State and Florida State product tallied 29 receptions on 57 targets for 556 yards and four scores. He ranked eighth among all NFL wideouts in average target distance (15.2), so he could develop into a legitimate deep threat for quarterback Josh Allen. So far this offseason, Coleman is drawing positive reviews. "When he came back, he was in really good shape," head coach Sean McDermott said. "You could tell he had been working drill-wise, weight room-wise, so really proud of what he's done to this point in the offseason." The sky is the limit for Coleman while catching passes from the reigning NFL MVP, and tight end Dalton Kincaid has not become Allen's go-to target as many expected when he was taken in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. At Coleman's WR5 price in half-PPR setups, he presents potential strong value for fantasy football.
