Keon Coleman Waiver Wire Fantasy Outlook Week 9: Should you add Bills WR?

The Buffalo Bills once again look like they have one of the most high-powered offenses in the NFL as they sit at 6-2 atop the AFC East, winning their last three games.

The Bills made a blockbuster trade to acquire veteran WR Amari Cooper from the Cleveland Browns, but rookie Keon Coleman has been making a name for himself in the offense for the past few weeks.

Here's everything you need to know if you're thinking about picking up Coleman from your waiver wire ahead of Week 9.

Despite many believing Coleman would play a bit-part role in the offense alongside Cooper, Josh Allen, James Cook and Khalil Shakir, the rookie has exploded the past few weeks.

As he gains more trust from his quarterback, Coleman has seen seven targets in each of the past two games, which is the most for a single game in his young NFL career.

Coleman has made the most of his targets going up, amassing 125 yards in Week 7 before totaling 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 8. He turned these stellar performances into fantasy production, too, totaling 16.5 PPR points in Week 7 and 18.0 in Week 8.

According to playerprofiler.com, Coleman's target share is at 17%, which increases to 22 when the Bills are in the redzone. Clearly Allen trusts his rookie receiver as he's willing to throw him the ball in the most critical moments.

According to fantasypros.com, Coleman is only rostered in 54% of fantasy football leagues currently, so if he's on your waiver wire, be sure to pick him up.

Coleman faces tough fixtures in two of his next three games, but takes on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 10 who allow the 12th-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers (per Fantasy Points Data).

With Amari Cooper getting fully healthy and embedded into the offense, and Khalil Shakir still in the mix, Coleman will face a lot of CB3 defenders which can only boost his fantasy football production.
