Though NFL insiders linked the Buffalo Bills to wide receivers potentially available on the trade market, they didn’t bring in another set of hands for their passing attack, which is good news for Keon Coleman.<\/p>\n
Coleman isn’t on pace to top his receiving numbers from the previous year, and he’s averaging just 9.8 yards per catch. Still, the 2024 second-rounder is second on the team in targets (41) and receptions (29). Without another addition to the wide receiver corps, he’ll have a chance to make a more significant impact on the back end of the season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Bills watched the wide receiver trade market dry up quickly on Tuesday. They missed out on Jakobi Meyers and Rashid Shaheed, two receivers linked to the club days before the deadline.<\/p>\n
According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini<\/a>, the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Bills inquired about Meyers. Russini’s colleague, Joe Buscaglia<\/a>, linked Shaheed to Buffalo because of the team’s need for speed at receiver.<\/p>\n Buffalo isn’t in desperate need of help at wideout, but if it had pulled off a trade for Meyers or Shaheed, it could’ve propelled its passing attack to a top-10 unit. Josh Allen must continue to elevate a mediocre receiver corps. Currently, Khalil Shakir leads the group in catches (38), receiving yards (399) and touchdowns (three).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Though NFL insiders linked the Buffalo Bills to wide receivers potentially available on the trade market, they didn’t…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":262256,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[436],"tags":[49,48,514,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-262255","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262255","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=262255"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/262255\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/262256"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=262255"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=262255"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=262255"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
