Going into the 2008 fantasy football season, Coles was the number one wide receiver on the Jets. Although he had his moments, he never seemed to click with quarterback Brett Favre. The result was a very uneven season that saw his overall production fall.

For New York, this move will likely mean that Jerricho Cotchery will likely become the team’s leading receiver. Cotchery, as a result, gets a boost in his fantasy value with this news. On the other hand, whoever takes over for Favre has one less target to work with and thus a lowered fantasy value.

As for Coles, he’ll have a lot of teams interested in his services. Although he’s getting up there in age, he’s a very good route runner with good hands who can make a fine second wide receiver. One team who may take a close look at him is the Miami Dolphins. Coles has a great relationship with quarterback Chad Pennington and would be a great veteran to pair with the Dolphins’ young wideouts.
