Who Should I Start? Keon Coleman or Keandre Lambert-Smith

Nick Wojton of Bills Wire lists Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman as an offseason winner. He had some big efforts during minicamp drills this month and took advantage of Joshua Palmer (ankle) missing time. It's exactly the type of offseason the 23-year-old needed to have after another disappointing season in his sophomore campaign in 2025, and after the Bills acquired DJ Moore in a trade with the Chicago Bears. The former second-rounder (33rd overall) in the 2024 NFL draft out of Florida State was also benched for several games last year for showing up late to team meetings. Drops and immaturity issues have plagued Coleman so far in his first two NFL seasons, as he's produced 67 catches on 116 targets for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 regular-season games (18 starts). Coleman took a step back a year ago, finishing with a 38-404-4 line in his 13 games played (six starts). He has fallen all the way to No. 109 in RotoBaller's WR ranks for the upcoming season, but the Bills have been clear that they aren't giving up on Coleman as he heads into Year 3.
