Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Keon Coleman

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs was signed in the offseason to add firepower to the team's pass-catching corps. He tore his ACL during the 2024 season while a member of the Houston Texans and has been easing back into action thus far in training camp. Diggs has been fully cleared for participation in camp, but he did not suit up for New England's first preseason game last week. He sat down and talked to Scoop City's Dianna Russini on Wednesday, but would not commit to being ready to play against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 1 as he told her "we'll see" when asked. Signs have been positive for Diggs thus far, but fantasy managers drafting him need to at least be aware of the possibility that he is not out there in Week 1.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is drawing praise from quarterback Josh Allen in the wideout's second professional training camp. Coleman was hard on himself when evaluating his play during his rookie season, but Allen says he's dominating one-on-one situations in practices. The former second-round pick logged 29 receptions for 556 yards and four touchdowns last season. He appeared to be trending up before a wrist injury sidelined the then-rookie for four games. The Bills are currently without Khalil Shakir (ankle) and are relying on Coleman to transform into the team's top wideout. Deep threat Joshua Palmer is also projected to be a starter. Finding Allen's potential go-to receiver in the late rounds of a fantasy football draft makes Coleman an excellent sleeper selection.
