Keon Coleman Enters 2026 with an Unknown Role in Buffalo

Friday, February 27, 5:12 PM

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is coming off a deflating sophomore season after being a trendy sleeper during fantasy drafts. Coleman finished the season with 38 catches for 404 receiving yards with four touchdowns on 59 targets. The 22-year-old was a healthy scratch during multiple games in 2025 due to disciplinary reasons and maturity issues. Coleman took the brunt of an ugly breakout between the Bills organization and former head coach Sean McDermott by receiving public criticism. However, newly hired head coach Joe Brady claimed that his hiring is the "best thing" that could have happened for Coleman. With the lack of a clear WR1 in Buffalo and support from his new head coach, Coleman has a glimpse of hope to save his career in Buffalo. Coleman will remain a late-round dart throw in dynasty leagues with mysterious upside.

Ricky Pearsall Could Be Stuck in the WR2 Role in San Francisco

Thursday, March 12, 7:01 AM

A first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has missed 14 games due to injury over the first two years of his NFL career. When healthy, Pearsall's production has been more solid than spectacular. Across nine games played in 2025, the 25-year-old hauled in 36 receptions for 528 yards and zero touchdowns on 53 targets. The 49ers made one of the biggest splashes of the early portion of free agency by signing veteran wide receiver Mike Evans to a three-year deal. While the 32-year-old Evans may no longer be the player he once was at his peak, he still projects as San Francisco's top outside wideout and could push Pearsall to the WR2 role. On the bright side for Pearsall's production outlook, the 49ers could be losing wide receiver Jauan Jennings to free agency and will likely be without star tight end George Kittle (Achilles) for a chunk of 2026 as Kittle recovers from a torn Achilles tendon. Still, the signing of Evans could signal that San Francisco does not view Pearsall as a number-one wide receiver option going forward and may be bad news for his long-term dynasty outlook.
