Analyze Keon Coleman's matchup for week 10
Keon Coleman was officially ruled OUT for Week 10 with a wrist injury, so he should be benched in all redraft formats; when healthy he profiles as a boom-or-bust deep threat who averages 19 ypr but only a 61 % catch rate.
The rookie second-rounder had been flashing vertical juice (417 yds, 3 TD on 22 rec) before suffering a wrist injury late in Week 9 against Miami. Indianapolis’ secondary had been generous to big plays all year, so a healthy Coleman would have carried WR4/flex appeal in plus matchups. Without him, Buffalo leaned more on Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins in a 30-20 win.
Coleman’s per-catch explosiveness (19.0 ypr) and 36 targets through nine games hinted at ascending usage, but a 61 % catch rate and single-game target ceiling under six kept him in the volatile WR5 range until the injury halted momentum.
Looking ahead to 2025, Coleman profiles as an ideal post-hype bounce-back: he’ll re-enter an offense that loves 11-personnel, should ascend the pecking order if Gabe Davis/Cooper depart, and has already flashed the per-catch upside that wins weeks. Improve catch concentration, add 10 lbs of functional strength and refine intermediate routes and he could push for 60-800-6 next season. Until then, stash him on IR/taxi squads in dynasty and monitor beat reports this spring—his combination of size, contested-catch prowess and 4.4 speed is too rare to ignore once healthy.
