Scouting report

CLE WR Corey Coleman - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. New York Giants
Corey Coleman hasn't had a ton of success as a rookie so far. After returning from injury, he's averaged 32 yards per game on about three catches. That doesn't inspire much confidence, and neither does the fact that he gets a poor matchup this week.

He's somewhat on the fantasy radar as a WR4, but don't surprised if he has another average performance in Week 12.

CLE WR Corey Coleman - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Pittsburgh
Corey Coleman hasn't been very exciting in his return from injury. In the last two games he's finished 3-for-41 and 3-for-17, respectively. Part of the problem stems from the Browns' confusion at the quarterback position, as they oddly used two of them last week.

Coleman is a great talent, but he'll be going against a tough Steelers matchup this week. Pittsburgh hasn't allowed many points to opposing wideouts, so we project Coleman will be a WR4 option.

CLE WR Corey Coleman - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Baltimore
Corey Coleman returned from his fractured hand injury last week, and finished the game with three receptions for 41 yards. It wasn't a terrible outing for his first game back, but we'd like to see more from the first-round receiver.

This week, Coleman will return to face Baltimore, a defense he torched (5-104-2) in Week 2. He has a chance to revisit his success as the Ravens have been favorable against receivers all season long.

We like Coleman as a low-end WR3 or solid WR4 play in Week 10.

CLE WR Corey Coleman - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Dallas
Corey Coleman will return this week for the first time since Week 2. The rookie's last game was a big one, going for over 100 yards and two touchdowns. While some may be skeptical about his return from a broken hand, coach Hue Jackson said Coleman is a "full go."

We like Coleman as a low-end WR3 or WR4 play this week in a decent matchup against the Cowboys. We haven't seen Coleman and Cody Kessler play together in a regular season game, so it's hard to determine just how many targets he'll see.

CLE WR Corey Coleman - Week 2, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Baltimore
We knew Corey Coleman could make big plays, and he did just that with a 58-yard reception. But on his other four targets in Week 1, Coleman had just one catch for 11 yards. Clearly the rookie is still a work in progress, and he'll be playing with a new quarterback this week.

Making matters worse, he'll be playing against the Ravens in Week 2, a defense that allowed the fewest passing yards (63) last week. Coleman has a high ceiling due to his ability to stretch the field, but it's hard to trust him as anything more than a WR3 this week.

CLE WR Corey Coleman - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Philadelphia
Corey Coleman was drafted in the first round for two reasons: the Browns needed receivers, and he's really good. The rookie will get thrust into the starting lineup immediately, and will be the main target in Cleveland as Josh Gordon serves his four-game suspension.

The Browns offense will rely mostly on the run, but they will take some deep shots down the field, and Coleman is the perfect receiver for that. All he needs to do is connect on one of those passes for a touchdown to make him worth starting.

Considering it's his first game, it's difficult to determine just how he'll be used. But in a good matchup against the Eagles, we figure Coleman will put solid WR3 numbers.

CLE WR Corey Coleman - 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Corey Coleman was the 15th overall pick in the draft, and brings plenty of a talent to a receiving corps that needs it. The Browns (outside of Josh Gordon's 2013 season) have needed a playmaker on offense for years, and it appears they found one in Coleman.

Reports out of camp have labeled Coleman as "the real deal" and offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton raved about the receiver's ability to score in the red zone.

Fantasy Downside
Coleman is just a rookie, and sometimes it can take first-year players a while to get used to playing against NFL competition. Making matters worse is the quarterback situation, which is questionable at best with Robert Griffin III in the pocket.

The young receiver is also a bit smaller (5-11) than one would hope him to be, so he could have a hard time fighting for receptions.

Bottom Line
Coleman is a physically gifted receiver playing in a run-first offense with quarterback concerns. It's hard to hide talent, so we expect to see some big plays from Coleman this season, but his ceiling could be a bit limited, especially when Josh Gordon returns from his four-game suspension.
