DJ Moore vs Keon Coleman: Who Should You Start?
DJ Moore and Keon Coleman are both viable fantasy wide receivers heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. DJ Moore averaged 8.5 PPG across 17 games with the Buffalo Bills, while Keon Coleman posted 6.4 PPG in 13 appearances for the Buffalo Bills.
A 2.1-PPG gap gives DJ Moore the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.
Target volume is the story here. DJ Moore saw 85 targets in 2025, while Keon Coleman drew 59. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for DJ Moore, even in weeks where Keon Coleman posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
One thing to note: both players share a Week 12 bye. That means you need a backup plan at wide receiver for that week, especially if one of these two is your starter.
