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.

The most shocking pick in the entire draft this year was Buffalo choosing Coleman over McConkey, and thank God they did.
I never understood it at all. Sure you have Shakir doing a lot of that role, but McConkey can win deep as well. They have 2 TE’s doing the job they want Coleman to do.
Shocking that everyone not named Shakir is struggling to separate which is why they got Amari Cooper. And as much as I thought Curtis Samuel could be solid for us, he’s just not been that good this year.
I think there’s a fair chance that Buffalo looks back in a couple years and is mad that they not only passed on Worthy, but McConkey as well.
