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

Three catches in Week 4 loss
Coleman caught three of four targets for 51 yards in Sunday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Coleman dropped a deep ball in the first half but bounced back with a couple of nice catches along the sideline to finish 11 yards short of Khalil Shakir's team lead in receiving yards. The rookie Coleman is out of the doghouse after being benched for the first quarter in Week 3 due to being late to a meeting, but his ceiling heading into a Week 5 trip to Houston remains capped by his inability to create separation from defenders as well as the fact that the 2024 Bills love to spread the ball around.

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.
