Outlook Keon Coleman
Entering a Make-or-Break Campaign with Renewed Focus and Locked-In Role
Keon Coleman enters the upcoming campaign looking to rebound from a disappointing sophomore season where he struggled with consistency and was briefly benched. Operating behind the team's primary targets on the depth chart alongside DJ Moore and Joshua Palmer, the young wideout has spent the offseason working directly with club legends like Stevie Johnson to refine his craft. Head coach Joe Brady and general manager Brandon Beane have publicly reaffirmed their confidence in his skill set, completely shutting down trade chatter and assuring fantasy managers that he remains an integral part of the offensive game plan.
Our season projections slate Coleman for 15 receptions, 210 receiving yards, and 2 touchdowns across the 1.0 PPR format. While these modest baseline expectations reflect his developmental curve and a crowded receiver room, his current draft-day trajectory shows relative stability. After sliding into late-round territory earlier in the summer, his ADP has settled around 268 overall, turning him into a zero-risk flier at the very tail end of drafts for managers willing to bet on his physical upside.
Given his low current ownership and sparse starting percentages, Coleman profiles primarily as a late-round stash candidate or deep league bench piece. However, if he can convert this offseason's positive training reports into early-season production, his discounted market price offers an intriguing window for value-seeking managers looking to capitalize on a former high-draft-capital receiver attempting a second-year breakout.

Outlook Khalil Shakir
Efficient Slot Specialist Poised for Expanded Target Share
Khalil Shakir enters the upcoming season positioned as the primary slot receiver in a high-powered Buffalo offense. After steadily increasing his production over his first few years, Shakir is coming off a productive campaign where he hauled in 80 receptions for 829 yards and four touchdowns. Our models project him to log another steady campaign with 69 catches for 759 yards and four scores, maintaining strong efficiency in the short-to-intermediate passing game.
His draft market has seen notable volatility this offseason. After opening draft season with an inflated ADP in the early 80s back in early June, his price corrected and stabilized at 126.00 through late July. This market correction transforms him into an intriguing value selection for fantasy managers looking for reliable PPR floor in the middle rounds, especially considering his established rapport with the offense.
Operating atop the slot depth chart ahead of Skyler Bell, Shakir remains a trusted piece in the team's aerial attack. While his touchdown upside might be somewhat limited by red-zone distribution, his high catch rate and growing trust from fantasy managers—evidenced by an 81% roster rate—make him a dependable roster piece and a solid depth option for your lineups.
