Who Should I Start? Marquise Brown or Keon Coleman

Tuesday, September 2, 3:30 PM

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said that wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) has been a full participant in practice this week and has "looked good out there," according to Sam McDowell of The Kansas City Star. Rashee Rice is serving a suspension to start the season, and rookie Jalen Royals (knee) is not expected to play in the season opener this Friday in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers, so Hollywood should be KC's WR2 to open the year next to second-year pass-catcher Xavier Worthy. Brown injured his right ankle early in training camp and was held out of the entire preseason, but he's been practicing for a couple weeks now and should be ready to go in Week 1. The 28-year-old played in only two games in 2024 due to a shoulder injury that required surgery and didn't look great upon his return. At best, consider him a WR4/flex option in Week 1 with Rice suspended.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman (groin) was listed as limited in the team's first official practice on Wedneday heading into a Week 1 showdown on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens. Coleman should be good to go for Sunday evening's tilt, but he'll have two more days to get in a full practice. Fellow wideout Khalil Shakir (ankle) practiced in full, so quarterback Josh Allen should have his top two receivers available. Coleman, who was a second-rounder last year out of Florida State, played in only 13 games in the regular season in his rookie year due to injuries and finished with a 29-556-4 line. He was inconsistent, but he has showns signs this summer of taking on an elevated role in Year 2. Still, with Joshua Palmer now in the fold in an offense that spreads the ball around, Coleman should be considered a WR4/flex for fantasy against Baltimore in Week 1.
