Keon Coleman in walking boot at practice

Coleman’s fantasy-scoring outlook has been hurt by his teammate’s improving health. At this point, Coleman is more so a single-game DFS FLEX rather than a starter in 12-team re-draft formats. He should be good to go for Week 9’s Monday Night Football game though.

Coleman was seen wearing a red non-contact jersey at today’s practice. His limited session to begin the week puts him on track to face the Vikings in Week 9’s Monday Night Football game. With DJ Moore (shoulder) back in the lineup, Coleman is just a WR4/FLEX. Joshua Palmer (hamstring) did not practice.

Coleman’s six targets tied for second-most on the Bills with Khalil Shakir, who also found the end zone in this one. Coleman scored on an impressive 12-yard play by Josh Allen, who appeared ready to take off and run with the ball before spotting Coleman open in the end zone and flipping a shovel pass to him for the score. Coleman has now scored in three straight games and has been targeted six or more times in two of his last three. With the Bills now heading into their Week 7 bye, Coleman could face more target competition when they return in Week 8 against the Ravens if DJ Moore (shoulder) is active. Moore was questionable entering this week and ruled out 90 minutes before kickoff, so it wouldn’t be surprising if he was a full-go after the bye.

Coleman was largely erased by the lockdown corner play of the Rams but had a receiving line also heavily influenced by a ground-heavy game plan from a Bills team that attempted only 19 passes in almost 70 minutes of football. It was quite the letdown fantasy performance for managers looking to take advantage of the absences of both DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer. Coleman is a borderline FLEX play in Week 6 against the Raiders, pending the status of Moore.

Palmer seemingly injured his shoulder in practice today. The Bills may already be without WR DJ Moore (shoulder) on Monday night. While Palmer is not relevant in 12-team leagues, his potential absence would improve Keon Coleman’s stock.

Coleman should be good to go for the Bills’ Monday Night Football game against the Rams this week. He had a career day in Week 4, with a 6/116/1 receiving line. We have seen Coleman produce solid outings in the past, so caution is advised if one is to consider believing the hype. That said, he rose to the occasion last week and could do so again in what should be a high-scoring game.

This was the best game we’ve seen from Coleman in a long time. Not only did he show up in the box score, but two of his catches were unbelievable sideline grabs that showed the type of hands that made him an intriguing draft pick out of Florida State. He played on 46 of the team’s 59 snaps and ran a route on 31 of their 40 dropbacks. With D.J. Moore leaving this game with a shoulder injury, Coleman is a priority add on waiver wires before next week’s game against the Rams.

Coleman was limited on Thursday after a Wednesday DNP and apparently will avoid a questionable tag. He was questionable last week and played through the injury, though he doesn’t draw enough targets to be fantasy-relevant outside of the deepest leagues at this point.

Coleman missed two practices last week before getting in a limited session on Friday. He still suited up and caught one of his two targets for a 37-yard gain. He will likely see a very limited number of reps in practice again this week. Coleman is not on the fantasy radar for Week 4.

Coleman was questionable to play with an ankle injury, but he was out there for 32 of the team’s 66 snaps, which was the third-most among wide receivers. His lone catch was a busted coverage down the sideline where a better throw from Josh Allen could have led to a touchdown. Coleman is playing better football this season, but he remains just an end-of-bench flyer if either DJ Moore or Khalil Shakir were to suffer an injury.
