Their 2025 seasons

He caught 38 of 59 targets for 404 yards and 4 touchdowns, with 9 red zone targets.

Side by side

In 2025 Keon Coleman scored 7.9 PPR points a game and Darnell Washington 4.6, 3.3 a game between them.

Keon Coleman finished WR60 and Darnell Washington TE39, which are two different ladders.

Keon Coleman is a wide receiver and Darnell Washington a tight end, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Keon Coleman is off in Week 7 and Darnell Washington in Week 9, so either can cover the other's bye.

What would change the answer

0.9 points a game is the entire case. The market restates it every week, and a line that moves moves the order with it.

The draft market is the half that is missing: when live drafts hold these two again they can order them differently from the projection, and this page will follow the drafts rather than the market-based projection when they do.
