Who Should I Start? Zay Flowers or Keon Coleman

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been one of the most consistent 10-to-12 fantasy point finishers in the NFL this year. That could be either good or bad depending on roster makeups and depth of league, but he's registered six finishes in that range for half-PPR formats. While the New York Jets are only 2-8 this season, they aren't the easiest matchup against opposing receiver groups. They're ranked 13th on the season, but they dipped to 23rd in the last four weeks and have given up a total of 37 receptions for 429 yards and two touchdowns. Flowers should see the same volume that he's received this season, but he's on a nine-game scoreless streak at the moment. That leaves him as a mid-level WR2 projection yet again.

Buffalo Bills second-year wide receiver out of Florida State, Keon Coleman, was benched for the second straight week and did not suit up for the Bills' Thursday Night Football game against the Houston Texans. The Bills fell short, losing 23-19, and have now fallen to (7-4) on the season. The offense was a bit of a mess on Thursday night, due in large part to the spectacular Texans defense and to Coleman and Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) being out. Because of this, Khalil Shakir had a big game, leading the pass-catching room with 10 targets in a game that required quarterback Josh Allen to throw the football 34 times. At this point, Coleman has 32 receptions for 330 yards and three touchdowns on the season, and is not performing on the field to the level the Bills want him to be, nor in the classroom, where he consistently shows up late for meetings, which is why he was benched in the first place. At this point, Coleman can be dropped in all fantasy formats if needed and remains a dynasty stash at best.
