Start Kyle Williams: 37 percent of the snaps and 5 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Kevin Coleman Jr.'s 15 percent of the snaps and 5 percent of the targets. 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.

The gap
- Board size297 draftable players
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 Kyle Williams, and the board ranks him 158th overall on the rest of his evidence.
Live drafts hold no current pick on Kevin Coleman Jr., and the board ranks him 162nd overall on the rest of his evidence.
The market-based projections
The market-based projection for Kyle Williams is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 6 market sources. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
The market has Kevin Coleman Jr. at 1.4 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.
Kyle Williams's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.
This season through Week 8
Through Week 8, Kyle Williams has been on the field for 30 percent of NE snaps, drawn 6 percent of the targets and had 0 percent of the red zone chances.
He has taken 6 of the offence's 59 third down targets, had 0 of its 11 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 31 two minute targets.
His 13 targets have averaged 17.6 air yards.
In Week 6 against NYJ he caught 1 of 1 target for 12 yards and did not score.

In Week 8 against MIA he caught 1 of 1 target for 43 yards and scored 1 touchdown.
Through Week 8, Kevin Coleman Jr. has been on the field for 15 percent of MIA snaps, drawn 8 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

Their 2025 seasons
In 2025 Kyle Williams played 17 games and scored 49.2 PPR points, 2.9 a game, finishing WR112.
He caught 10 of 21 targets for 209 yards and 3 touchdowns, with 0 red zone targets.
That came to 1.2 targets a game, a 48 percent catch rate and 20.9 yards a catch.
He was on the field for 30 percent of the snaps in the games he played.
Kevin Coleman Jr. is a rookie, so there is no NFL season behind him to price him against.
