Overview

  • On his podcast, Smith said Coleman "ain’t the guy," citing slow separation, struggles vs. press and a limited route tree backed by contested-catch and YAC metrics.
  • Coleman brushed off the criticism when asked by reporters, replying, "Nah, no comment on that. Next question," and later posted laughing emojis on social media.
  • After a 112-yard Week 1, Coleman has averaged about 21 receiving yards per game with 27 catches for 267 yards, only three gains over 20 yards and a yards-per-catch drop to 9.9.
  • Smith argued Buffalo needs outside help and urged a move for another receiver, a view echoed in media speculation ahead of the Nov. 4 deadline.
  • The Bills are 5-2 and preparing to host the Chiefs on Sunday as Josh Allen continues to spread targets to Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel and Dalton Kincaid.
