Who Should I Start? Keenan Allen or Keon Coleman

Monday, January 6, 8:39 AM

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen was fairly uninvolved in the team's 24-22 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 18. The former Los Angeles Charger finished his final game of his first season with the Bears, catching three passes for 25 yards. This was Allen's second straight game with 25 receiving yards and his eighth game of the year with fewer than 40 receiving yards. The 32-year-old receiver was firmly the second-option in the receiving game behind D.J. Moore, with Allen finishing his season with 70 receptions for 744 yards and seven scores across 15 games. The former California receiver may even enter 2025 as the third option in the receiving game and maybe a decent depth piece for fantasy next season.

Fantasy managers using Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman this week better hope his receptions are of the downfield variety. He's not catching many passes. The rookie has logged one, one, three, and two receptions in the four weeks since his return from a wrist injury. While one of those catches went for 64 yards and he scored on another, Coleman has been more of a miss than a hit. If he can avoid matchups with star Denver cornerback Pat Surtain II, he may have a downfield look or two. That's about all fantasy managers can hang their hat on if using the second-round pick in fantasy lineups.
