KEVIN COLEMAN JR.

Scout's Take

Kevin Coleman Jr. is a "sudden" slot technician who successfully navigated four different college programs to prove his elite movement skills. At 5'11" and 180 pounds, Coleman possesses a compact frame that allows him to be a "creator" in the screen and run game. He is a reliable chain mover who understands leverage and how to attack defenders' weak points. His collegiate career peaked at Mississippi State, where he posted career highs in every category, before returning to Missouri to showcase his tough, "no-nonsense" approach after the catch. In fantasy terms, he is a reliable PPR target with a low drop rate (7 career drops on 200 catches) and high-end punt return value. While he may be viewed as a "slot-only" option due to his size, his ability to high-point throws and catch away from his frame helps him play larger than his measurables. Like Elijah Moore, he is a "jittery" playmaker whose value is maximized in quick-strike offenses that prioritize yards after catch.
