2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Blanked in Thursday's win
Coleman didn't catch his only target in Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Coleman took a step back after posting a team-leading 51 receiving yards in his NFL debut, but his lack of involvement can be attributed in large part to game flow. Buffalo's defense and ground game dominated, so Khalil Shakir (five catches for 54 yards) and Dalton Kincaid (four catches for 33 yards) were the only Bills to catch multiple passes. Coleman, whom the Bills selected 33rd overall in the 2024 NFL Draft, likely would benefit if the team employs a more pass-heavy approach Week 3 against the Jaguars.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will work with Allen on Saturday
Coleman is expected to have a chance to play with Josh Allen for about a quarter in the Bills' preseason opener against the Bears on Saturday, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie second-round pick out of Florida State is expected to serve as the Bills' No. 2 receiver right from the onset of his career, and head coach Sean McDermott won't waste any time getting Coleman live game reps with his new quarterback. McDermott emphasized the importance of getting his starters some live game reps right out of the gate in preseason when discussing the matter Thursday, and the fact the offensive unit is also learning a scheme that has undergone some changes plays into the decision as well.
