  • : Keon Coleman: Listed Questionable (Shoulder) (Sleeper injury feed)

Start Keon Coleman: 78 percent of the snaps and 14 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Austin Ekeler's 17 percent of the snaps and 17 percent of the carries. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Austin Ekeler, and the board ranks him 46th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Side by side

In 2025 Keon Coleman scored 7.9 PPR points a game and Austin Ekeler 6.6, 1.3 a game between them.

Keon Coleman finished WR60 and Austin Ekeler RB103, which are two different ladders.

Keon Coleman is a wide receiver and Austin Ekeler a running back, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Both are off in Week 7, so a roster holding the pair has that one week to cover twice.

What would change the answer

Keon Coleman has no posted market, so one half of the evidence on this page exists for only one of them.
