Fantasy managers should prioritize Zach Charbonnet, Kirk Cousins, and Keon Coleman on the Week 5 waiver wire. Charbonnet is the top running back target after Jadarian Price's injury, while Cousins offers consistent quarterback production. Coleman and other backups like Will Shipley and Mike Gesicki provide immediate value due to key injuries in their respective offenses.
Keon Coleman starred in Buffalo’s 2026 preseason opener, catching all four first-half targets and scoring the opening TD, while Josh Allen and Kyle Allen delivered efficient showings. The Bills’ O-line showed susceptibility with backups Spencer Brown, Lundt and Bowry allowing pressure, and Cushenberry appears ahead for the backup center role due to Connor McGovern’s hamstring issue. On defense, Dorian Williams and Jordan Hancock impressed, Danna contributed two late sacks, and Ian Wheeler flashed as a potential third rushing option. Penalties and depth questions remain as the Bills move forward.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman, a 2024 second-round pick who has underwhelmed and faced benchings, says this season is make-or-break for him. With DJ Moore and Khalil Shakir likely to lead the WR group, he’ll compete with Josh Palmer and Skyler Bell for targets. Despite public backing from coach Joe Brady, QB Josh Allen, and others after owner Terry Pegula’s comments, Coleman’s roster fate will hinge on a significant on-field jump (he has 67 catches, 960 yards and 8 TD in 26 games).

Buffalo Bills owner Terry Pegula publicly claimed GM Brandon Beane didn’t want to draft Keon Coleman and was urged by coaches to take him in the 2024 second round. Athletic’s Joe Buscaglia later reported Coleman’s reaction as confusion, but he quickly shrugged off the comments. Coleman hasn’t requested a trade and is expected to be with the Bills in 2026.

Cincinnati should explore trading for Bills wide receiver Keon Coleman as a low-cost, high-upside addition to the WR corps; with a likely price around a sixth-round pick, Coleman would be a cost-controlled two-year veteran ($1.7M in 2026 and $2.1M in 2027 with $1.7M guaranteed) who could serve as a third or fourth option behind Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas.
