2025 Fantasy Outlook
Coleman was a polarizing prospect who went 33rd overall to Buffalo last April and then had a rookie season that ensures he'll remain polarizing. Despite running a 4.61 40-yard dash, Coleman was mostly used as a deep threat, a la Gabe Davis before him, averaging 19.2 yards per reception while catching 50.9 percent of his targets at a 15.2 aDOT (third deepest among WRs with 300-plus routes). He then caught just three of eight targets for 22 yards in three playoff games, although he topped 50 percent snap share each time, notably working ahead of Amari Cooper. The Bills aren't bringing Cooper back, but they did sign Joshua Palmer, whose 14.9 aDOT for the Chargers last season ranked fifth among WRs. Offensive coordinator Joe Brady might use Palmer as the deep threat to open up Coleman for a more varied, fantasy-friendly role, but it's also possible Coleman ends up battling just to stay on the field, considering the Bills use a lot of heavy formations and also have Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel at wide receiver.

Benched in disciplinary move
Bills head coach Sean McDermott revealed Monday that Coleman didn't play in the first series of Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots due to a disciplinary matter, Alec White of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
As a result of missing the first possession, Coleman played just 42 of the Bills' 68 offensive snaps on the night, with his 62 percent share representing his lowest mark since he logged 51 percent of snaps in Week 2, when Buffalo rested several key players late in a 20-point win over the Jets. McDermott didn't go into much detail about Coleman's benching beyond noting that the staff is "looking for more consistency" from the second-year wideout. For his part, Coleman seemed to respond well to the disciplinary decision, as he finished the Week 5 loss with four catches for 23 yards on seven targets, including a two-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Look for Coleman's playing time to tick back up a bit in Week 6 against the Falcons, though quarterback Josh Allen's tendency to spread the ball around to Buffalo's pass catchers renders Coleman a volatile option in weekly fantasy lineups.

The Bills drafted Coleman with the 33rd overall pick this year, adding a new type of wide receiver to an offense that just lost Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis and had been left with Khalil Shakir and free-agent addition Curtis Samuel atop the depth chart. Coleman is the big body of the bunch at 6-3, 213, though a 4,61 40 time suggests he might not get behind defenses the way Davis often did. Coleman is otherwise a good athlete, as suggested by his 38-inch vertical jump, 127-inch broad jump and impressive play strength. It is, however, a bit unusual to see a wide receiver drafted this early with a subpar 40 time and less-than-dominant college production. Coleman put up 58-798-7 as a true sophomore at Michigan State and was widely expected to go ham after transferring to FSU, but his junior year was a disappointment apart from 11 TDs, as he caught only 51 of 87 targets for 658 yards. He thus figures to be a polarizing prospect, especially after landing in a top-notch situation with a franchise QB on a WR-needy team. Coleman is young for his draft class, turning 21 in May, and the disappointing junior season doesn't negate that he outproduced Jayden Reed at MSU as a 19-year-old sophomore in 2022. While unlikely to ever be a top separator, Coleman may be able to get it done with size, strength, tackle-breaking and reliable hands.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Dealing with groin issue
Coleman was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a groin injury, Chris Brown of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Coleman wasn't known to be previously dealing with a groin issue, so the injury may have occurred during Wednesday's first day of official prep for Sunday night's showdown with the Ravens. The second-year wideout had previously drawn rave reviews from Josh Allen for his training camp performance, so if he's unavailable or limited against Baltimore, the Bills' air attack would be missing a key downfield component.
