Episode Details

Keon Coleman is finally proving his critics wrong, but what happens to his role in the Buffalo Bills offense when DJ Moore returns from injury?

The Buffalo Bills enter their bye week at 5-1, and one of the biggest positive developments has been Coleman's improvement as a receiver for Josh Allen.

After two seasons filled with questions about consistency, route running, separation and preparation, Coleman is starting to show the growth Buffalo has been waiting for.

Against the Las Vegas Raiders, Coleman finished with four receptions for 59 yards and a touchdown. But his impact goes beyond the box score.

According to Buffalo Bills PR, 15 of Coleman's first 19 receptions this season resulted in first downs. He also entered the Raiders matchup leading the NFL in EPA per target, demonstrating how valuable his opportunities have become.

Joe Brady has maintained that Coleman's on-field talent was never the biggest concern. Now, the young receiver appears to be turning that potential into meaningful production.

But DJ Moore's eventual return creates an important question for Buffalo's offense.

Should Coleman's opportunities decrease when Moore returns to the lineup?

Moore brings separation, versatility and yards-after-catch ability. Coleman provides size, a bigger catch radius and the ability to win contested catches.

Those skills should complement each other rather than force Buffalo to choose between them.

With Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kincaid, James Cook and Josh Allen also creating matchup problems, offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael has an opportunity to make this offense even more dangerous.

The biggest test for Coleman will be whether Allen continues trusting him in critical situations when all of Buffalo's offensive weapons are healthy.

Has Keon Coleman finally turned the corner, and should the Bills expand his role regardless of DJ Moore's return?
