Who Should I Start? Keon Coleman or Tetairoa McMillan

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.

Rams Wire's Cameron DaSilva reports that the Los Angeles Rams tried to trade up in the first round of April's NFL draft to take wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who ultimately was taken by the Carolina Panthers at No. 8 overall. A trade never materialized for the Rams, and they ended up trading back to No. 46 overall and out of the first round entirely. DaSilva writes that the Panthers entertained offers for the pick for teams looking at McMillan, but they were never serious about giving up the pick unless they received a king's ransom. L.A. likely would have had to give up their No. 26 pick, a future first-rounder and likely one of their third-round picks. Instead, the Rams acquired a 2026 first-rounder in their trade back with Atlanta. The Rams only took one receiver in the draft, Konata Mumpfield, in the seventh round out of Akron.
