Bills GM Brandon Beane backed WR Keon Coleman in an interview with The Athletic released today. He said it wasn’t “an ability thing” with Coleman, that he has “shown plenty.", and that the Bills are “putting all our eggs in [Coleman’s] basket to come back for year three and be a part of this group, however that is.” But that stance clashes with what Bills Owner Terry Pegula said in January, when he blamed the former coaching staff for pushing to “draft Keon” with Beane sitting next to him and offering little pushback. The Keon Coleman situation remains muddled.

The Bills are hiring Pete Carmichael as OC, according to multiple reports. Carmichael spent 19 of the last 20 seasons with Sean Payton, first in New Orleans and then in Denver the past two. Bills HC Joe Brady worked under Carmichael as an offensive assistant with the Saints in 2017 and 2018. Brady has already said that he'll continue to call plays in 2026, but we'll see how much Payton flavor Carmichael brings to the offense. Former QB Chase Daniel, who played for the Saints in 2017, expects more play-action passing from the Bills going forward. QB Josh Allen already ranked fifth among 45 qualifying QBs in percentage of dropbacks to feature play action last year. Allen completed 71.7% of his passes at 8.2 yards per attempt off play action, ranking ninth and 15th among those 45 QBs.

Bills WR Brandin Cooks tallied a game-high 101 yards on 4 catches in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. His six targets ranked second on the team and doubled his previous high through four games with the Bills. Cooks saw his largest playing-time share since arriving in Buffalo but remained in a heavy WR rotation.

Bills WRs Keon Coleman and Gabe Davis are healthy scratches for today’s game vs. the Browns. WRs Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, Brandin Cooks, Tyrrell Shavers, and Mecole Hardman are active for Buffalo. Shakir is the only viable fantasy play from the group, and even he’s a shaky start in what figures to be a run-heavy game from the Bills.

Bills WR Keon Coleman was active against the Steelers after two straight games as a healthy scratch. He went 2-9-1 with the TD coming on a fourth and goal in the back of the end zone. He ranked fourth among WRs on the team with 33 snaps on a run-heavy game for Buffalo.

Bills WR Josh Palmer (ankle) is inactive for today's game vs. the Steelers. WR Keon Coleman is back in the lineup, alongside WRs Khalil Shakir, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, and Brandin Cooks. Shakir is the only viable fantasy play here.

Bills WR Keon Coleman is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Texans. That's despite WRs Curtis Samuel and Mecole Hardman being out with injuries. Feel free to drop Coleman from all redraft rosters. WRs Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, Gabe Davis, Tyrell Shavers, and Elijah Moore are active for Buffalo.

Bills WR Keon Coleman is a healthy scratch for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Buffalo planned on Coleman playing this week, but that changed when he was late to meetings on Friday morning. WR Gabe Davis is active for Buffalo and could play a significant role in this one. But Khalil Shakir is the only Bills WR that can be trusted in fantasy lineups.

The Bills elevated WRs Gabe Davis and Mecole Hardman from the practice squad. Davis re-signed with Buffalo at the beginning of September after spending his first four NFL seasons with the team. Hardman joined the Bills' practice squad earlier this week. We wouldn't go rushing to add either guy to fantasy rosters -- and neither should be anywhere near starting lineups. But we're curious to see where these guys fit in the pecking order. Davis, in particular, adds some risk to WR Keon Coleman's fantasy outlook. Khalil Shakir is the only Bills WR that should be in Week 11 fantasy lineups.

Bills WR Keon Coleman scored his first TD since Week 5 in Sunday’s loss to Miami. His 8 targets marked his most since Week 1.

Bills WR Keon Coleman turned in a second straight quiet outing after his big opener. He caught just three of four targets for 20 yards in Thursday night's win over the Dolphins. Coleman made a strong hands catch on a quick slant to convert a third-and-one in the second quarter and also drew a 20-yard pass interference penalty in the first quarter. But Coleman also had a drop on comeback route that would have gone for about 10 yards. The good news is that his playing time bounced back after dipping in Week 2. Coleman led Bills WRs with a 75% snap rate and 84% route rate vs. Miami.

Second-year Bills WR Keon Coleman broke out against the Ravens, catching eight of 11 targets for 112 yards and a TD. He led the team in targets, with Khalil Shakir and Joshua Palmer next at nine apiece. Coleman also paced the WRs with an 88.2% snap rate.

Buffalo Bills’ WR Khalil Shakir (ankle) returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.

"The summer of Keon Coleman continues," writes SI.com Bills writer Alex Brasky. "Coleman has dominated training camp, and that continued with a couple of touchdown receptions during Friday's joint practice with the Bears." Coleman managed just 29 catches for 556 yards and 4 TDs as a second-round rookie and cracked the top 36 fantasy WRs just three times among 13 appearances. But flashed upside in his red-zone usage, downfield game, and after-catch production.

Bills WR Khalil Shakir suffered a high right ankle sprain in the team's Saturday practice at the stadium. HC Sean McDermott told reporters Sunday that Shakir is "week to week." Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports says sources project a 4-5 week expected absence.

The Bills signed WR Elijah Moore to a one-year deal worth "up to" $5 million, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. We'll see how much guaranteed money Moore got, but it's probably not enough to make him a roster lock.
