The Buffalo Bills (4-2) will visit the Carolina Panthers (4-3) in Week 8. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Keon Coleman.
Is Keon Coleman Playing in Week 8?
Coleman is not on the injury report and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Bills’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Coleman in Week 8?
By now, you know what this profile is: low volume, high upside.
But that last part really hasn’t happened. Through six weeks of this season, the man with impressive hoops highlights in his profile was not one of the 147 players across the league with a catch gaining more than 25 yards.
If the big plays aren’t going to be there, Coleman isn’t close to lineup consideration. He’s been held under 30 receiving yards in four of his past five games, and while I do think there is talent here in a great offense, the risk isn’t worth the reward at this moment in time.
Sit back and wait. Maybe things look different coming out of the bye, but you have to take the patient route at this point.
