Keon Coleman News
Monday, July 13, 9:36 AM
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman has been a disappointment since the Bills took him 33rd overall in the second round in 2024 out of Florida State, catching 67 of his 116 targets for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 games (18 starts). In addition to inconsistent production on the field, tardiness to team meetings and a wrist injury limited the 23-year-old to only 13 games (six starts) in 2025 in his sophomore season. Coleman was involved in trade rumors this offseason, but the Bills' brass remains committed to him going forward, and despite the addition of receiver DJ Moore, he could have an elevated role in the passing attack in 2026. Per head coach Joe Brady, Coleman put together an "outstanding offseason" as he heads into a "make-or-break" season. Brady also said the young wideout has been "handling everything like a pro." Coleman has plenty of work to do to get himself back in the good graces of the Bills and fantasy managers, but if he can put himself on the straight and narrow, he has a clear path to being Buffalo's WR3 in Year 3 behind Moore and Khalil Shakir. Consider him a late-round sleeper dart thrown in redraft leagues and a buy-low target in dynasty.

Malachi Fields News
Sunday, July 5, 5:13 AM
The New York Giants' selection of wide receiver Malachi Fields in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft was sandwiched between the signings of five different veteran wideouts, all of whom received one-year deals in free agency. At 6'4" and 222 pounds, Fields can stand out as a big-bodied outside target for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, and his size and willingness as a blocker should endear him to new head coach John Harbaugh, who ran the league's run-heaviest offense in his final season with the Ravens. However, a Day 2 pick more on the strength of his traits than his production, he could take time to develop into a consistent NFL receiver, and the Giants are now well-positioned to spread the ball around, at least until 2024 first-round pick Malik Nabers returns to full health and takes control of the team's target share. As the only Giants receiver other than Nabers whose contract extends beyond the 2027 season, Fields is a worthwhile dynasty stash, but with enough depth in the here and now to require little more than a supporting role from the rookie, RotoBaller's WR95 does not project as a major fantasy contributor in 2026.
