    Snap Share
    • Weeks 2-4 snap share/routes: 74.3%/30, 48.5%/18, 78%/32; recent role is confirmed despite one dip.
    • Observed WR1: 63.3% season snap share and 101 routes; the live odds participant feed lists Coleman Active.
    • No prior 2026 game isolates Moore/Palmer absorption; redistribution is league-average and caps this to Tier 3.
    Second Wind
    • Coleman caught 6 of 7 targets in Week 4 while playing 78% of snaps and running 32 routes.
    • Coleman is Active with full practice participation; the roster feed was fresh at today’s lookup.
    • The Rams’ defense is strong overall at −0.14 defensive EPA/play to date; there is no broad matchup tailwind.

    • PPD favors Buffalo 3.10 to 1.78, but the defensive split and 3-0 early lead point more toward a narrow Buffalo half than a four-point margin.

    • Own second-half fit: 28.5 points, above the board's 26.5 threshold.
    • Full-game total 55.5 plus the 1H ladder centered at 26.5 implies roughly 29 points for 2H before the usual late scoring bump.
    • Pace is brisk (BUF 30.63, LAR 29.48 seconds/play); EPA inputs support a live scoring environment, with BUF offense +0.14 and LAR defense −0.14.
    • Second-half outcomes are conditioned on halftime score and strategy; the season-to-date fit cannot fully model that state dependence.
