The Bills have been without a top receiving threat since Stefon Diggs’ departure. The team traded out of the first round in 2024 before taking Coleman at the beginning of the second. Coleman (still 22 years old) will look to build on his inaugural season, in which he posted just 22 receptions for 556 yards and 4 touchdowns.

Despite the pedestrian overall numbers for Coleman, he did post a gaudy 19.2 yards per reception, good for 4th in the league. Many of his efficiency numbers look good, in fact. What slowed him down was being in a crowded receiving room with several veterans who stole snaps from the rookie. To that point, Coleman, who ran only 308 routes in 2024 (76th overall), has a case to break out if he sees more usage.

I was higher than some and lower than others on Coleman coming out of Florida State. He’s a rangy wideout who’s better in contested catch situations than he is at gaining separation. I think he could be a significant threat in the red zone. I like Coleman at his current redraft ADP, although I’m concerned the team will deploy a wide receiver by committee approach once again in 2025 and therefore wouldn’t go out of my way to reach for him.
