Keon Coleman vs Tee Higgins: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Keon Coleman and Tee Higgins is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Buffalo Bills wide receiver put up 6.4 PPG in 2025 over 13 games; Tee Higgins of the Cincinnati Bengals averaged 12.1 in 15. A 5.7-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 5.7 points favors Tee Higgins, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one wide receiver to the other.
Target volume is the story here. Tee Higgins saw 98 targets in 2025, while Keon Coleman drew 59. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Tee Higgins, even in weeks where Keon Coleman posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Both share a Week 12 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking wide receivers this deep on your bench, plan your replacement wide receiver early.
