A rash of wrist injuries in the Bills WR room led to recently-acquired veteran WR Amari Cooper missing Week 9 against the Dolphins and is now threatening to force an extended absence for the Bills’ top selection in last year’s draft. Coleman had started to dig into a more established role in the Bills’ passing game over the past few weeks, posting his two best performances as a pro in Weeks 7 and 8 despite Cooper being on the team in both of those games. A quiet day against Miami wasn’t necessarily a surprise, but the wrist injury he emerged from the game with was (considering he played his usual complement of snaps). Should Coleman miss any time, Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, and Dalton Kincaid would also receive upgrades, with Cooper potentially being fast-tracked to a full time route participation after failing to reach those thresholds in his first two contests in a Bills uniform. A multi-week absence, while bad for Coleman, could help stratify what’s been a very distributed target share in Buffalo from Josh Allen. Of course, fantasy managers should stay tuned throughout the week for additional updates, but the current vibe seems to be that Coleman could be out for this week and potentially beyond.
