Bills WR Keon Coleman struggles to begin training camp

Joe Buscaglia

yesterday · 2:37 PM EDT

On his first day back at camp, Keon Coleman was in a prominent role again, working with Allen and the first-team offense heavily, though he failed to deliver on several opportunities.

During team drills, Coleman had four targets result in no receptions. The first was against second-team cornerback Dane Jackson, with Jackson sticking on Coleman the whole way and not allowing a catch opportunity. Coleman later had two reps against top cornerback Benford, with Benford breaking up both passes in contested opportunities. Then, near the end, Coleman had a chance to catch a pass along the sideline against Tre’Davious White, only for White to break up the pass.

Fantasy Impact:

Buscaglia goes on to hit on Coleman's lack of separation, which had been an issue through the receiver's rookie season as well. If the sophomore continues to struggle, we could once again see him in a rotation, which will sap any sort of consistent fantasy production. Shakir's role is already locked in, but Palmer, a free agent addition, could end up seeing enough work to make him an interesting late-round dart throw.

BUF WR Curtis Samuel - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Over his three seasons with Washington, Curtis Samuel delivered mediocre fantasy lines with mediocre usage, but he has a chance at a career resurgence in Buffalo, reunited with OC Joe Brady. In his final year with Brady —in Carolina— Samuel finished as fantasy's WR25, with 77 receptions and 41 rush attempts. The competition for touches out of the receiving room in 2024 is minimal. Khalil Shakir should be pigeonholed for a slot role, Marquise Valez-Scantling and Chase Claypool aren't good, and rookie Keon Coleman is a raw prospect out of the gate. Samuel could very easily be the team's WR1.

Fantasy Downside
Samuel's seven-year career-high in receiving is 851 yards, and he has failed to breach 700 in any other season. If Keon Coleman catches on quickly, the team will likely want to push him into an every-down role and ease the loss of Stefon Diggs to the fanbase.

2024 Bottom Line
It's hard to grasp exactly how the team is going to use Samuel this season, but his late-round draft capital in an ambiguous situation makes him very intriguing. It would surprise no one if he and TE Dalton Kincaid become the primary pass-catching options in 2024, but Samuel has a long history of not being able to get his head above water in similar situations on other teams. He profiles as a great dart throw later in drafts, with a wide range of possible outcomes.
