Brandon Coleman, WR, New Orleans Saints

With the release of Marques Colston, 67 targets were freed up in the Saints' offense. It was looking good for both Willie Snead and Brandon Coleman to assume larger roles in the Saints' offense, but then they drafted Michael Thomas in the second round of the draft, making the situation a bit messier.

The sole reason to single out Coleman here is because Snead already carved out a role in the offense last season, snagging 102 targets from Drew Brees.

Coleman profiles as a red zone threat given his 6'6'' height. Unfortunately, Thomas is 6'3'' wideout with measurables that compare to Josh Gordon, Larry Fitzgerald, and Keenan Allen, among others, according to MockDraftable.com.

So while Snead gets dinged a bit here, Coleman's the one who takes the bigger hit. There's always the chance Thomas doesn't pan out, though.
