WR/CB Matchups to Target
WR Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills vs. CB Kendall Fuller, Miami Dolphins
The rookie Coleman remains WR3-viable with explosive upside against a banged-up Miami Dolphins secondary. Dolphins No. 2 cornerback Kendall Fuller is Coleman’s likely primary coverage defender. Coleman’s 78.4 PFF receiving grade in Weeks 7 and 8 ranked first among Buffalo wide receivers.
PFF's NFL scores and schedule page implies Buffalo will score 27.75 points. The game’s 49.5-point over/under is Week 9’s second highest.
