Coleman is the first wide receiver to be voted Rookie of the Week this year. In the game, Coleman caught four passes for 125 yards. He led the entire NFL in receiving yards for Week 7 in the 34-10 win.
He is just the third rookie WR to put up 125 receiving yards this year, joining Marvin Harrison Jr. and Malik Nabers. That is pretty good company to be in.
Coleman’s big day found him being mentioned among even better company, too. In the last five years, only three other rookie wide receivers have led the league in receiving yards for any given week. Those three are Ja’Marr Chase, Jaylen Waddle, and Justin Jefferson:

The Bills brought in Amari Cooper to bring a spark to the receiving room last week. If Coleman is capable of games like this, and with Cooper across the field from him, the league could be in trouble. The two combined for 191 yards and a touchdown in their first game together.
Coleman’s 326 receiving yards ranks third among rookie WRs through seven weeks. He trails only Brian Thomas Jr. (513) and Malik Nabers (427).
The 5-2 Bills will take their new-look offense on the road to Seattle to take on the 4-3 Seahawks at Lumen Field in Week 8.
