Keon Coleman caught 1-of-3 targets for four yards in a 36-10 win over the Ravens. Coleman saw a major drop off from his six targets last week. With his inconsistent usage this season, fantasy managers should look elsewhere against the Vikings in Week 9
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman is looking to continue his hot streak, having scored a touchdown in each of his last three games. He will face a Ravens pass defense that struggled against the Bengals' wide receivers last week, and Coleman is projected to score six fantasy points
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman has shown flashes of upside with 19 catches for 283 yards and 3 TDs through 6 games, including a 116-yard outing. However, his target volume is inconsistent, with fewer than 2 targets in 3 games. While he played a high percentage of snaps with DJ Moore sidelined, Moore's potential return could affect Coleman's role. He remains a risky WR3/flex option
Midway through the third quarter of Sunday’s victory over the Raiders, Bills quarterback Josh Allen made another signature play for a touchdown pass. It was third-and-8 when Allen was pressured, moved to his left, then sent a backhand flip about 15 yards into the end zone to an open Keon Coleman, who made the catch for the score. It’s nothing new for Allen, who has been an improvising playmaker for years now. “It’s who he is,” head coach Joe Brady said in his postgame press conference. Allen noted that he saw Coleman flash open, but it was the crowd — that was full of Bills fans — that really indicated the play’s success. "[O]nce it comes out, you kind of get hit and tumble around, and it’s so hard in these away games, which feel like home games, once you hear the crowd go crazy, you’re like, ‘I don’t know if it’s a touchdown, I don’t know if it’s an interception,’” Allen said. “So again, he finds himself in the right place at the right time and finds a way to get open.” Before Allen flicked it to Coleman, there was a moment where it looked like he could run. “Again, I was just trying to make a play,” Allen said. “They played really good defense. I stepped up in the pocket, felt somebody coming from the left side there, stepped back, and again, quick eyes, saw our guy open and gave him a chance.” For his part, Coleman said he was just trying to find space where Allen could see him and he wasn’t surprised by the result. “I watched it, I was right there. I saw him flicking like that,” Coleman said. “I might have robbed Skyler [Bell]. He appeared behind me. He thought that ball was coming in when I just came out north. I just saw him in trouble, bro. Trying to make a play. “He threw it around the dude. It’s just him, bro.” That’s just part of the experience of playing with Allen. “Play [is] never dead until the whistle blows,” Coleman said. “With him, even if a guy comes free hard to get him down — you might get there, but attacking him is a whole different obstacle. So, my job is when I feel that’s going on, you have to get your eyes back to the quarterback and find what we’re doing.”
Keon Coleman caught 4-of-6 targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-30 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. Coleman stepped up with DJ Moore (shoulder) sidelined for the Bills on Sunday. He led the team with 59 receiving yards against the Raiders, and he was also able to get into the end zone at one point, which left him with a nice fantasy total on the day. He should continue to be started in most league formats if Moore has to miss additional time beyond this game
Coleman brought in four of six targets for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday. Coleman led the Bills in receiving yards on the afternoon with the help of a 21-yard grab and a 12-yard touchdown reception with just over six minutes remaining in the third quarter. The score was Coleman's third of the season, with the previous two having come in each of the prior pair of contests against the Patriots and Rams. The oft-maligned 2024 second-round pick appears to be picking up some momentum in his third season, as Coleman already has a 19-283-3 line on 24 targets while helping make up for the multiple absences of DJ Moore (shoulder)
The Raiders hung with the Bills. The game was tied 13-13 at halftime and 23-23 in the fourth quarter. It never felt like the Bills were in danger of losing, though the Raiders never went away. Josh Allen led Buffalo to a 33-30 win in Las Vegas as the Bills moved to 5-1. The Raiders fell to 3-3. The Bills gained 345 yards, with 169 coming in the second half when they scored 20 points. Allen was 23-of-33 for 255 yards and two touchdowns, including a Houdini-esque 12-yard touchdown pass to Keon Coleman on third-and-8 in the fourth quarter. James Cook’s 3-yard touchdown run with 4:43 left was the go-ahead score, with Tyler Bass adding a 38-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining. Bass also made kicks from 44, 28 and 47. Coleman caught four passes for 59 yards and a touchdown, and Cook had 22 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown. The Raiders made it interesting on Kirk Cousins’ 44-yard touchdown throw to Tre Tucker with 1:32 left. The Raiders, though, didn’t have a prayer of recovering the onside kick, something they haven’t done since 2017 against the Chiefs. Matt Gay kicked a drop kick too far, and Khalil Shakir caught it in the air. Cousins finished 23-of-41 for 313 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. Tucker had five catches for 97 yards and two touchdowns, and Michael Mayer added seven receptions for 95 yards
Josh Allen made a spectacular touchdown pass to Keon Coleman in the Bills' Week 6 game against the Raiders, reminiscent of a similar play by Brett Favre 30 years earlier
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman found the end zone against the Rams, but his overall involvement was disappointing considering Buffalo's depleted receiving corps. Coleman caught just one of two targets for seven yards, with the lone reception going for a touchdown. The performance came one week after he recorded six catches for 116 yards and a score against New England. That difference illustrates the difficulty fantasy managers have faced when deciding whether to trust him. Coleman has 15 receptions for 224 yards and two touchdowns through five games, but he has drawn only 18 targets during that stretch. Buffalo's Week 6 opponent, Las Vegas, has struggled defensively, creating opportunities for the Bills to generate explosive plays. Coleman carries touchdown upside and some appeal as a deeper-league flex, although his inconsistent target volume makes him difficult to trust in standard-sized fantasy leagues
Keon Coleman’s rising role as a flex option for the Bills is highlighted after DJ Moore’s injury, with Josh Allen’s passing game offering a chance for Coleman to step up
Coleman caught a seven-yard touchdown pass (on two targets) during the Bills' 37-34 overtime win over the Rams on Monday. It was a statistically quiet night for Coleman despite the fact that DJ Moore (shoulder) was inactive, although it's worth noting that Josh Allen attempted only 19 passes (12 completions) during Monday's overtime win. Coleman's first target was late in the second quarter and essentially an arm punt by Allen, with the ball intercepted by Jaylen Watson at midfield. Coleman's catches of 17 and seven yards in the third quarter were both negated by offensive penalties, but the third-year pro was wide open on a seven-yard touchdown pass after two Rams defensive backs collided with each other. Coleman's 45 offensive snaps led all Bills wide receivers, and he has a 15-224-2 receiving line on 18 targets through five regular-season games. The Bills will stay on the road for Week 7 against the Raiders on Sunday, and Coleman's role on offense would shrink if Moore is cleared to return for that contest
The Bills regained the lead with a nine-play, 61-yard drive. Josh Allen threw his first touchdown pass of the night, hitting Keon Coleman for a 7-yard score and a 19-14 lead. It was set up by a defensive holding penalty on Jaylen Watson after the Rams had Allen stopped on a 9-yard scramble on third-and-goal from the 13. The Bills also got a 21-yard defensive pass interference penalty on Quentin Lake, who was covering Coleman, on first-and-20. In addition, James Cook’s fumble was originally awarded to the Rams before officials changed the call. They gave the ball back to the Bills. The Bills opted to go for 2 points, but Alec Anderson had a false start. They then decided to kick the extra point, but Tyler Bass missed the 38-yard try. The Bills are 0-for-2 on 2-point conversions this season and 3-for-12 over the past three seasons
Keon Coleman caught one of his two targets for a seven-yard touchdown in a 37-34 overtime win over the Rams in Week 5's Monday night game. Coleman made his only catch count as he hauled in Josh Allen's lone touchdown pass late in the third quarter. It was still a disappointing game for Coleman, who was expected to see a larger target share with DJ Moore (shoulder) inactive. Coleman will be on the flex radar in fantasy in Week 6 vs. the Raiders if Moore isn't ready to return to the field
