Either way, I’m not going to sit here while you argue that a rookie WR who averaged 19 YPR isn’t in the same league as X Man. Coleman had basically the same number of receptions on FORTY fewer targets. He’s been impressive.

He fits what Buffalo has been doing this year.
Allen standing back there and waiting for the coverage to break down gives Coleman plenty of time to eventually come open. And if it doesn't happen, Allen has the size/speed to buy enough time and toss a YOLO ball for Coleman to fight for.
If a team can get after Allen a bit, it'll neutralize Coleman completely. But thus far, teams haven't.
Coleman would've been a complete non-factor here, IMO, but that doesn't mean he's been a disaster for Buffalo. He's been pretty productive in this bizarre sort of haphazard caveman passing game they've pieced together this year.
He and Shakir will likely complement each other similarly to Rice/Worthy going forward.
