Keon Coleman Tough To Trust Against Chiefs Sunday

2 months ago

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman continues to be an unreliable fantasy option ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie has progressed throughout his first season in the NFL, but he still remains an inferior option to Khalil Shakir in the Bills' passing attack. Coleman has just two catches over his last two games, totaling a mere 10 yards. He typically operates as a deeper perimeter threat within Buffalo's offense, which has added another layer of uncertainty to his profile. For example, he was targeted 57 times during the regular season but hauled in just 29 of those passes, giving him a concerning 50.9 percent catch rate. In fact, he had five catches on 17 targets between Weeks 17 and 18. His increased volume in those games was promising, but targets don't generate fantasy points. Until Coleman can start catching more passes on a consistent basis, he's tough to trust in fantasy football. That point is accentuated this week against the Chiefs, who have been incredibly stingy against players like Coleman. Kansas City allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to receivers operating out wide from Week 12 through Week 17.
