Keon Coleman’s Comeback Bet | NFL News

0:00On September 7th, yo, let's talk about Keon Coleman, the Buffalo Bills' second round pick from 2024. He was supposed to be the guy, the number one receiver, but after two seasons the numbers are just okay. Sixty-seven catches, nine on sixty. Yards, and eight touchdowns in 26 games. He wasn't terrible, but he wasn't exactly lighting it up either. Even getting benched a few times last season. Now some folks were saying he might be on his way out, but the Bills brass, especially New Head Coach Joe Brady, are still betting on him. Brady believes Coleman's got more in the tank and is expecting a big jump in 2026. It's like they're giving him one more shot to prove his worth. This belief isn't just coming from the coaching staff. ESPN analyst Seth Walder is also predicting a bounce back year for Coleman. He's forecasting at least 750 receiving yards and five touchdowns, which would both be career-bests for him. Walder even admitted he thought Coleman might be on another team by now. It's a bowl prediction, especially considering how Coleman's 2025 season started.

1:03He had a monster week one with eight catches for 112 yards in a touchdown, but then things cooled off significantly. He only managed 30 catches for 292 yards and three scores in the remaining 12 games, never breaking 49 yards in a single game after that opener. With the Bills adding more talent and receiver this offseason, the competition for targets is going to be fierce. That makes Walder's prediction of a mini breakout for Coleman in his third year seem pretty optimistic, but hey, stranger things have happened in. The league. That's the story for today.
