Written Sun 12:01 am Central, for week 6
The Dolphins are on bye in week 6 of 2026, so Kevin Coleman Jr. does not play and puts zero points on your sheet this week. He's back in week 7, away at the Jets, but he sits fifth among Miami receivers behind Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, and his 2.9 PPR points a game this season tells you the role is thin. There's no designation on Sunday's report, so nothing to track there. Keep him stashed only if your roster has room, and plug a fill-in into the lineup spot this week.
Written Oct 18, from his facts through last season
Set aside the 12-point game in week 5 of 2026 for a second, because the shape of his targets matters more than one spike. His average catch came 13.9 yards down the field through weeks 1, 3, 4 and 5 of 2026, which put him 20th among the 85 receivers with at least 15 targets. That is a boom profile on very little air time: five catches, 36 yards, one score through five games. Week 1 and week 2 of 2026 were zeros. He is giving you almost nothing week to week, and one big play bailed out the whole line.
The role is the reason to keep expectations low. He is listed fifth among Miami receivers, behind Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell, and the 2025 target picture here gave Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle 47% between them. He was a fifth-round pick this year at 23 years old, and Jeff Hafley and Bobby Slowik are both new, so nobody in this building is tied to him yet. That cuts both ways: the depth chart says wait, the coaching says nothing is settled.
We had him for 23 points across the 10 games we expected before the season, about 2.3 a game, and he is at 2.9 through five, so he is roughly on the pace we set. The call: in anything shallower than a 16-team league he is only worth picking up if the week 5 of 2026 scoring repeats. In deep rosters, hold through the week 6 of 2026 bye and see whether that target depth keeps showing up in scoring.
