Should You Start or Sit Keon Coleman in Week 1?
Good players can excel at a high level, while great ones leverage that strength to make them truly unstoppable.
In today’s NBA, 50 guys can knock down spot-up triples at a Steph Curry rate in an empty gym, but how many can do it while being chased by a lanky defender around screens where he’s absorbing contact every step of the way?
Right now, Keon Coleman is the football equivalent of those 50 guys. He can win downfield, but that’s about it, and without a complementary skill, those low percentage targets become even less reliable.
25+ air yard target rate, 2024
- Coleman: 22.8% of targets
- NFL WR Average: 10.6%
If the Bills were confident that they drafted a player poised to win at all levels, would they have brought Amari Cooper on board last season?
If the Bills were confident that they had a player poised to win at all levels after a year of NFL tape, would they have inked Josh Palmer to a three-year deal in March?
I understand wanting cheap exposure to this offense. Heck, I’m no different. But you must approach this season with reasonable expectations and a logical starting point. Coleman is benched until proven starter worthy, not the other way around.
