Palmer catches huge touchdown in win over HOU

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.

Coleman was iffy headed into the weekend with an ankle injury he sustained last week against the Lions. Last week Coleman caught all six of his targets for 63 yards with DJ Moore sidelined with a shoulder issue. Moore is active for Week 3, meaning Coleman should remain on fantasy benches for now.

Both DJ Moore (shoulder) and Keon Coleman (ankle) were listed as questionable on the final injury report, but both of them will suit up to play. There’s a chance that they could have their snap share managed as they play through injuries, but we’d have to assume they’re both relatively healthy if the Bills are going to put both of them on the field in an early-season matchup. You may just see a little more Khalil Shakir and Josh Palmer usage than normal. Moore remains the receiver with the most fantasy upside and could be a low-end WR2 with Shakir also being a solid WR3 in PPR formats given his role as a lower aDOT target-earner.

Coleman returned to practice on Friday and was listed as questionable for today’s game. DJ Moore (shoulder) also looks likely to play through his questionable tag. Coleman stepped up last week with six catches for 63 yards on six targets. While he’s not on the fantasy radar as long as Moore suits up, Coleman could be a valuable role player for the Bills this year.

Coleman didn’t practice on either Wednesday or Thursday, but made some movement on Friday by showing up to a practice even if media reporters weren’t truly sure if he was giving a lot of effort. Josh Palmer would be a reasonable FLEX play if Coleman were ruled out.

Neither was Keon Coleman. Moore grabbed a limited listing on Wednesday while wearing a non-contact jersey in practice; a downgrade would be troubling for his chances of playing in Week 3. Coleman (ankle) has now missed the first two days of the week and would need a comeback on Friday to get on the questionable line.

Coleman pops up on the injury report with an ankle injury and did not practice on Wednesday. He briefly left the Bills’ Week 2 game against the Lions due to the ankle, but returned and finished the game. Coleman’s status for Week 3 is now in jeopardy; with DJ Moore (shoulder) also on the injury report, the Bills’ wide receiver groups may look slim come Sunday against the Chargers.

This is already shaping up to be an injury that will be monitored throughout all of next week. Moore is believed to have suffered an AC joint sprain in the Bills’ Week 2 win over the Lions, and while the injury isn’t considered serious, sources familiar with the situation haven’t ruled out the possibility that he’ll miss at least one game. Moore was held without a catch on Thursday after catching five passes for 100 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. Moore’s absence could open the door for Keon Coleman to see more work. Coleman played on 55 snaps against the Lions after playing on just 29 in Week 1, and caught all six of his targets for 63 yards.

Coleman could be a hot name on the waiver wire following Week 2 after DJ Moore departed with what appeared to be a significant shoulder injury in the first half. The third-year veteran continues to tease at untapped upside in this high-powered offense but has yet to fully break through for consistent production. Maybe that changes now as his role potentially grows without Moore. It will also be interesting to see how, if at all, his route tree changes in the absence of Moore, particularly considering the team has Joshua Palmer to operate as the field-stretching, Z-type receiver, the latter of whom caught his only target for a 43-yard touchdown on a broken coverage against the Lions. Coleman is a speculative waiver addition ahead of a much more forgiving matchup against the Jets in Week 3.

Coleman scored the first touchdown in the first preseason game at the Bills’ new stadium over the weekend, but showed up to practice in a walking boot on Tuesday. We’ll have more information about the injury when it’s available, but this could be a sign that Coleman is dealing with a significant, long-term injury.
