Bills' Keon Coleman: Posts three receptions in Week 9 victory
Rotowire
Coleman finished Monday's 23-6 win over the Vikings with three catches for 17 yards on six targets.
Going up against a tough Minnesota defense, Bills QB Josh Allen posted a modest 234 passing yards with one touchdown and one interception. He spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers, with none of them hauling in more than four receptions. Coleman actually led Buffalo with six targets, but he finished seventh with just 17 receiving yards. The third-year wideout has been very up-and-down this season, registering 59 or more receiving yards three times but logging 17 or fewer receiving yards on four occasions. That makes his output quite difficult to predict for fantasy purposes.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Set to play in Week 9
Rotowire
Coleman (shoulder) doesn't have a designation for Monday's contest in Minnesota.
Per Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News, Coleman again was spotted in a red non-contact jersey Saturday and eventually went down as a limited participant for a third consecutive practice. Despite the restrictions this week, though, Coleman is ready to suit up for an eighth straight game to begin the season, having put up a 20-287-3 line on 27 targets to date.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Limited at practice again
Rotowire
Coleman (shoulder) was a limited practice participant Friday.
Coleman is on the injury report for the first time since Week 4, listed as a limited participant Thursday and Friday due to a shoulder injury. There's been no indication it's serious, so Coleman seems on track to play Monday night at Minnesota. Fellow Bills wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) also is gearing up to play.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Limited Thursday
Rotowire
Coleman (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday.
It's a new injury for Coleman, who is on the injury report for the first time since Week 4. With both DJ Moore (knee) and Dalton Kincaid (chest) healthy last Sunday against the Ravens, Coleman caught just one pass for four yards on three targets.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Held in check Week 8
Rotowire
Coleman hauled in one catch for four yards on three targets in Sunday's 36-10 win against Baltimore.
Coleman entered the weekend having recorded a touchdown in three straight contests, but he couldn't continue that streak Sunday. In fact, the third-year wideout was almost entirely uninvolved, as his only reception was a four-yarder at the end of the first quarter. Coleman did lead Buffalo wideouts with 63 offensive snaps, so his lack of production wasn't due to a downturn in playing time. He'll look to bounce back in Week 9, though he and the Bills will be on the road facing a tough Minnesota defense.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Team-high yardage total Sunday
Rotowire
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).

Bills' Keon Coleman: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
D.J. Moore (shoulder) missed Week 5 at the Rams, and his status for Week 6 at Las Vegas is in doubt. Coleman didn't have a big game in place of Moore against the Rams, but he scored a touchdown on one catch for 7 yards on two targets. He also had two catches negated by penalties in Week 5, and I like Coleman as a high-end No. 3 Fantasy receiver in all leagues against the Raiders if Moore remains out. Las Vegas just allowed Demario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III to all score at least 10.9 PPR points in Week 5, and seven receivers this season have reached that level of production. Khalil Shakir, who had three catches for 80 yards on three targets against the Rams, would also be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver if Moore is out in Week 6. And Moore would be a top-20 Fantasy receiver if he plays.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Catches TD pass in MNF victory
Rotowire
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.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Sleeper WRs
Rotowire
D.J. Moore (shoulder) missed practice Thursday and Friday, and we'll get an update on his status Saturday for Monday's game at the Rams. If Moore is out, then Coleman and Shakir are both worth using as No. 3 Fantasy receivers. I like Coleman slightly better than Shakir, and Coleman was awesome in Week 4 against New England with six catches for 116 yards and a touchdown on seven targets for 23.6 PPR points. He also had 12.3 PPR points in Week 2 against Detroit with six catches for 63 yards on six targets. Moore was injured early in both of those games, and Coleman would have an expanded role if Moore is out. I also like Shakir if Moore is out, and Shakir had seven catches for 82 yards on eight targets in Week 4 against the Patriots for 13.2 PPR points, which was his best game of the season. The Rams have allowed five receivers to score at least 12.4 PPR points this season, and Josh Allen will lean on Coleman and Shakir if Moore can't play.

Coleman was awesome in Week 4 against New England with six catches for 116 yards and a touchdown on seven targets, and he scored 23.6 PPR points. He also had 12.3 PPR points in Week 2 against Detroit with six catches for 63 yards on six targets. D.J. Moore (shoulder) was injured early in both of those games, and Moore could miss Week 5 at the Rams. Coleman is worth adding in all leagues for up to 10 percent of your remaining FAAB, and he could be a No. 3 Fantasy receiver if Moore is out. I also like Khalil Shakir (47 percent rostered) as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver if Moore is out, and Shakir should be added for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAAB. Shakir had seven catches for 82 yards on eight targets in Week 4 against the Patriots for 13.2 PPR points, which was his best game of the season.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Turns in limited practice
Rotowire
Coleman (ankle) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
A spectator for the Bills' first Week 4 practice Wednesday, Coleman was able to take a step forward in activity a day later. The third-year wideout will likely need to upgrade to full activity to avoid carrying a designation into Sunday's game against the Patriots, but at this stage in the week, he appears to be trending toward playing.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Misses practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Coleman (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Coleman dealt with the ankle injury in practice last week and was listed as questionable for Week 3 before suiting up and playing just 48.5 percent of the offensive snaps against the Chargers. He turned two targets into one catch for 37 yards. If Coleman is unable to play Sunday against the Patriots, Joshua Palmer would be in line for increased snaps.

Bills' Keon Coleman: One big catch in Week 3 win
Rotowire
Coleman saw two targets and recorded a 37-yard catch during the Bills' 24-16 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Coleman's practice reps during Week 3 prep were limited by an ankle injury that he sustained in Buffalo's Week 2 win over Detroit. He was cleared to play against the Chargers and ended up playing 32 of 66 offensive snaps (48.5 percent), third most among Bills wide receivers behind Khalil Shakir (48) and DJ Moore (42). Coleman was responsible for the Bills' longest play of the game late in the second quarter, when he hauled in a 37-yard pass from Josh Allen that led to a one-yard touchdown run by the superstar QB on the next play. Coleman is capable of making big plays in any given game, but it's hard to rely on him for consistent production when he's competing against Moore, Shakir, tight end Dalton Kincaid and running back James Cook for targets from Allen, with Ty Johnson and Joshua Palmer also in the mix. The Bills wrap up their three-game homestand this Sunday in an AFC East showdown against the Patriots, whose defense gave up 35 points (including three passing touchdowns) to the Jaguars in a Week 3 loss.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Coleman (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
It was reported earlier Sunday that Coleman was expected to suit up for Week 3, and he will indeed do so. Coleman was considered a game-time call for Sunday's contest, so it's not clear if he will be at full speed. However, he -- as well as DJ Moore and the rest of Buffalo's regular pass catchers -- will all be in uniform for Week 3.

Bills' Keon Coleman: On track to play Week 3
Rotowire
Coleman (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, is expected to play, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.
After Coleman sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field as a limited participant Friday, head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that the wideout would be a game-time decision leading up to Sunday's contest. The third-year player has apparently made positive strides in his recovery from the ankle injury following Friday's practice, and barring a setback, he should be cleared to play ahead of the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. Coleman has recorded seven receptions for 64 yards on seven targets through the Bills' first two games of the season, and he could be in store for more volume if fellow wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) -- whom Brady also termed as a game-time decision -- ends up sitting out Sunday.

Coleman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Chargers.
After sitting out the Bills' first two Week 3 practices due to an ankle injury, Coleman was back on the field Friday and logged an official limited session to wrap up the week. Head coach Joe Brady told Katherine Fitzgerald of The Buffalo News that both Coleman and fellow WR DJ Moore (shoulder) will be game-time decisions, so the statuses of both players may not be known until approximately 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Remains sidelined Thursday

Coleman (ankle) wasn't spotted at the start of Thursday's practice, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
Both Coleman and DJ Moore (shoulder) appear to be sitting out practice Thursday, leaving Khalil Shakir, Joshua Palmer and Skyler Bell as Buffalo's only healthy wide receivers. Coleman will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to give himself a chance to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Bills' Keon Coleman: DNP on Wednesday
Rotowire
Coleman didn't practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury.
DJ Moore was believed to be the Bills wide receiver dealing with a health concern this week after he suffered an AC joint sprain last Thursday against the Lions. Instead, Moore was a limited participant Wednesday, while Coleman didn't log any practice reps at all to kick off Week 3 prep. Coleman's status thus bears watching Thursday and Friday to see whether or not he's trending toward an absence Sunday versus the Chargers.

Bills' Keon Coleman: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
D.J. Moore (shoulder) left Week 2 against Detroit, and Coleman stepped up with six catches for 63 yards on six targets. We'll see if Moore can play in Week 3 against the Chargers, and he's expected to be OK. But if Moore is out, then Coleman could be a potential starter in three-receiver leagues, and he's worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB. Khalil Shakir (51 percent rostered) is also worth adding for 1 percent of your remaining FAAB, and he would benefit if Moore is out against the Chargers. That said, Shakir is off to a slow start with seven catches for 88 yards and no touchdowns on 12 targets.
