Kevin Coleman Jr. Fantasy Stats

The Miami Dolphins have selected Missouri wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. with the 177th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. He has played for four teams in as many seasons, beginning his collegiate career with Travis Hunter, Shedeur Sanders, and coach Deion Sanders at FCS Jackson State. Coleman has a slender build, but he moves smoothly and reaches top speed quickly. He profiles as one of the purest slot-only receivers in this draft class, which will put him at a disadvantage in finding the field in heavier packages. The Dolphins had one of the weakest wide receiver rooms in the league after trading away Jaylen Waddle, and they have now spent three picks at the position after selecting Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell in the third round. Coleman offers a completely different skillset, but he will have to wrestle snaps away from veteran Malik Washington to gain any true fantasy relevance.

Missouri wide receiver KEvin Coleman Jr. had a modest performance at the NFL scouting combine, trying to sneak into the conversation as a potential Day 2 pick. Most mock drafts seem to have Coleman being selected on Day 3, and he likely needed a better Combine to significantly bump up his projected selection. In the end, Coleman had a 4.49-second 40-yard dash (24th out of 34 wide receivers) and a 10-foot, six-inch broad jump (18th out of 25 wide receivers). He ranks as the #41 rookie in RotoBaller's latest superflex dynasty leagues for football in 2026. The stats are a little more encouraging, as Coleman finished the year with 732 yards and nine touchdowns. He is a projected fourth-round pick and, at best, will be an end-of-draft option for many dynasty managers.
