Coleman might benefit with Amari Cooper joining the Bills because now he'll get less attention. In Week 7 against Tennessee, Coleman had a season-high seven targets, and he finished with four catches for 125 yards. He's not someone you want to start yet in the majority of leagues, but Coleman is a great stash candidate for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Breaks out in Week 7
Rotowire
Coleman recorded four receptions on seven targets for 125 yards in Sunday's 34-10 win over the Titans.
The addition of Amari Cooper seemingly threatened Coleman's role in Buffalo's offense, but instead, he appeared to be unlocked with less focus from the defense. Coleman earned a season-high seven targets and converted that into long gains of 57 and 44 yards, both of which were highlighted by lots of yards after the catch. The Titans were without their top two corners for this matchup, so it remains to be seen if Coleman can carry this performance into a Week 8 matchup against Seattle -- another unit that has dealt with a multitude of injuries in the secondary.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Established star joins WR corps
Rotowire
Coleman is expected to move down a spot on the depth chart after the Bills acquired Amari Cooper from the Browns on Tuesday, Matt Bove of 7 News Buffalo reports.
The addition of Cooper represents a hit to Coleman's rest-of-season value, as both Cooper and Khalil Shakir should provide a strong 1-2 punch at receiver for the Bills, while running back James Cook and tight end Dalton Kincaid are frequent targets in the passing game. Coleman has shown some promise with his size and athleticism, but he hasn't gone over 51 receiving yards in six games, and it's difficult to envision him being a main weapon in the passing game when the Bills have all their key weapons available. Bove suggests that the second-round rookie will likely line up alongside Cooper and Shakir as the Bills' preferred wideout trio, though Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel could rotate in.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Scores long TD on only catch
Rotowire
Coleman caught one of five targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Houston.
Coleman scored a 49-yard touchdown in the third quarter, but he failed to catch any of his other four targets as Josh Allen completed only nine of 30 pass attempts. Dalton Kincaid and Mack Hollins tied for the team lead with six targets apiece in the absence of top receiver Khalil Shakir (ankle), with Coleman one behind them. Coleman has recorded multiple catches in only two of his first five games, but the rookie second-round pick has two touchdowns heading into a Week 6 road game against the Jets.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Finds pay dirt on only target
Rotowire
Coleman scored a 24-yard touchdown on his only target in Monday's 47-10 win over the Jaguars.
Coleman has only one target over the last two games after drawing five looks in his NFL debut, but he made the most of his only opportunity Monday by finding paydirt. The rookie second-round pick has shown some nice ability on jump balls, but Buffalo has brought the 6-foot-4 Coleman along slowly while giving more playing time to wide receivers who have more blocking experience or shiftiness to get open underneath. Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News relays that Coleman was benched in the first quarter due to tardiness, but the team is ready to move forward. Coleman will hope to see an uptick in volume in a Week 4 road game against the Ravens.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Team's leading receiver in debut
Rotowire
Coleman caught four of five targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.
Coleman led the team in targets and receiving yards in his NFL debut, but the rookie second-round pick was held out of the end zone while fellow Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir and Mack Hollins both scored touchdowns. Most of Coleman's yardage came on a 28-yard contested catch in the fourth quarter, which got the ball down to the six-yard line and set up quarterback Josh Allen's second rushing touchdown of the game. Coleman and the Bills will have a short turnaround before facing the Dolphins in Miami on Thursday.

Bills' Keon Coleman: One catch in preseason opener
Rotowire
Coleman caught one of three targets for eight yards in Saturday's 33-6 preseason loss to the Bears.
Coleman didn't make much of a splash in his NFL debut, with his lone catch coming on a pass thrown by backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky. Coleman worked in with the starting wide receivers, but Josh Allen's pair of first-quarter completions went to Khalil Shakir and Curtis Samuel. Coleman's expected to play a significant role as a rookie in a Bills receiving corps that lost Stefon Diggs in the offseason, and the 2024 second-round pick out of Florida State will try to put forth a stronger showing in next Saturday's preseason game against the Steelers.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Inks rookie deal with Buffalo
Rotowire
Coleman signed a four-year rookie contract Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
Coleman, selected 33rd overall in April, has a good chance to be the team's No. 1 or No. 2 receiver right out of the gate, as the Bills lack a proven guy in the entire wideout corps after trading away Stefon Diggs and not re-signing Gabe Davis during the offseason. The Bills now have all 10 of their 2024 picks signed to deals.
