Bills quarterback Josh Allen said Tuesday that Coleman is "having a really good camp," Mike Moraitis of SI.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen said Coleman is "still seeing a lot of growth in his game and just the nuance to playing the receiver position and doing the things that we're asking him to do," and that the second-year pro has "consistently" been "a guy that can go and win" in one-on-one situations. With top wideout Khalil Shakir expected back for Week 1, but considered week-to-week due to a high-ankle sprain and currently not practicing, Coleman appears to be making the most of his increased opportunities. The 2024 second-round pick was primarily deployed as a downfield target as a rookie, but Buffalo's addition of deep threat Joshua Palmer in free agency could open up a path for Coleman to see more flexible, fantasy-friendly utilization Year 2. Coleman's size, body control, and potential to dominate in one-on-one situations provide him the upside of developing into a go-to red zone target for Allen, something the Bills lacked last season.

Coleman was up-and-down during mandatory minicamp, showing some quality routes and a connection with Josh Allen during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, but he also struggled with occasional drops and mental mistakes, Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman's biggest mistake of minicamp came Wednesday, when he deflected a ball that was well out of his reach just enough to result in an incompletion to Khalil Shakir, Allen's intended target. As a rookie, Coleman was also inconsistent, finishing with 29 catches for 556 yards and four touchdowns (on 57 targets) across 13 regular-season appearances while mostly being cast as a deep threat. Buffalo was encouraged enough by Coleman in Year 1 that the team didn't make it a priority to add to the pass-catching group this offseason, though the team did ink another field-stretcher in Joshua Palmer. As Buscaglia notes, Coleman still has tremendous opportunity before him, and his development will likely be the primary deciding factor in how strongly the Bills pursue additional pass catchers during the 2026 offseason.

Coleman secured one of four targets for 12 yards during Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman struggled to convert on his opportunities throughout Buffalo's playout run, compiling just three catches for 22 yards on eight targets across his three postseason appearances. The rookie second-round pick compiled a 29-556-4 receiving line on 57 targets in 13 regular-season appearances, modest production totals, if somewhat disappointing compared to expectations, considering Coleman's draft capital and the opportunity he faced following the departures of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis. Coleman's role could grow Year 2, as both Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins are slated to hit free agency, but it also wouldn't be surprising to see Buffalo work to bolster Josh Allen's receiving corps for the 2025 campaign.

Coleman caught one of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card win over the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman had a disappointing wild-card performance, as his five receiving yards marked his lowest total in a contest in which he caught at least one pass. The rookie wideout played 46 of the Bills' 76 offensive snaps in the contest, the second-most snaps of any Buffalo wide receiver behind Mack Hollins (52). Next up for the Bills is a divisional-round matchup against the Ravens on Jan. 19. Coleman will look to bounce back and be more involved in what projects to be a high-scoring affair against Baltimore.

Coleman secured two of 10 targets for 31 yards during Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman did little with the team-high 10 targets he drew from quarterback Mitchell Trubisky, who started in favor of Josh Allen versus New England due to Buffalo having already secured the No. 2 seed in the AFC. With Trubisky under center, Curtis Samuel was the only member of the Bills' offense to eclipse 50 receiving yards. Coleman will resume his usual role on offense as Buffalo hosts the Broncos in a wild-card round matchup on Sunday.

Coleman caught three of seven targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-14 win over the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman led Buffalo in targets (7) and led all wideouts in playing time, finishing the game with a 90 percent snap share. The rookie's touchdown was his fourth trip to the end zone this season. With Buffalo clinching the No. 2 seed for the playoffs, Coleman may see less playing time in the season finale against the Patriots if head coach Sean McDermott decides to rest some of the team's key starters.

Coleman caught one of two targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman finished the contest with one catch on two targets for the second straight game. The rookie wideout was on the field for a solid 66 percent of the Bills' offensive snaps Sunday, a slight improvement over his 63 percent snap share in Week 15. As Coleman continues to work back from the wrist injury that caused him a four-week absence, it seems plausible that he'll begin to see more opportunities in Buffalo's passing attack. The Florida State product will look to bounce back in Week 17 when the Bills host the Jets in a divisional showdown.

Coleman caught one of his two targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 48-42 win over the Lions.
EDGE Analysis
In his first game back from a four-week absence due to a wrist injury, Coleman found himself leading all Buffalo wide receivers in playing time. The rookie wideout played 44 of the Bills' 70 offensive snaps Sunday, ahead of Khalil Shakir (41), Mack Hollins (35), Amari Cooper (32) and Curtis Samuel (19). Coleman has flashed his big-play potential before, and his 64-yard grab against Detroit was just another example of his ability to open things up for Buffalo's passing attack. The Florida State product will look to get even more involved down the stretch, starting with a Week 16 matchup against the Patriots.

Head coach Sean McDermott noted Friday that Coleman (wrist) won't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Lions, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman, who last played Week 9, was deemed a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough, Thursday's practice estimate and finally in Friday's session. Now that he's been cleared to face Detroit, the rookie rejoins a Buffalo wideout corps that also includes Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel. With that in mind, it remains to be seen what sort of volume Coleman will see in his looming return, a context that makes the Florida State product a speculative Week 15 fantasy option. Prior to his injury, Coleman had a 22-417-3 line on 36 targets in nine games.

Coleman (wrist) will be a full participant in Wednesday's walk-through session, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Coleman, who last played Week 9, was limited at practice last week, so his looming full participation Wednesday -- albeit in a walk-through session -- bodes well for his chances of returning to action Sunday against the Lions. Assuming he experiences no setback as the week rolls along, the rookie second-round pick will have a chance to reclaim a role in a Buffalo wideout corps that also includes Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins and Curtis Samuel.
