DraftCall Analytics

Start Emeka Egbuka over Keon Coleman in 2026.

Emeka Egbuka averaged 9.7 PPG in 2025 to Keon Coleman's 7.0, a 2.7 point per game edge. Egbuka also stayed healthier, playing 17 games to 12, which steadies his weekly floor. Both land in Tier 3 at the position, so this is closer than the raw gap suggests.

The Bottom Line

Emeka Egbuka has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.7-PPG advantage is real (9.7 to 7.0), and Emeka Egbuka's 6 touchdowns show scoring upside. Keon Coleman is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.
