Amir Coffey is joining the Milwaukee Bucks on a one-year deal, aimed at buffering perimeter shooting after the departures of Damian Lillard and Pat Connaughton. Coffey posted 9.7 points per game last season on 47.1% from the floor and knocked down 40.9% (rounded to 41%) of his threes, making him a viable floor spacer for a lineup built around Giannis Antetokounmpo and Khris Middleton.
The move signals Milwaukee’s intent to preserve spacing and wing versatility as they retool a rotation that shed shooting and depth. For fantasy managers, Coffey’s role will hinge on minutes and matchups, but his proven ability to contribute points and 3-pointers could translate into value in weeks with favorable schedules or limited defensive assignments.
Overall, Coffey’s signing reinforces a trend of teams leaning on veteran wings to stabilize the perimeter while rotations adjust to new personnel. If he locks into a steady bench role, Coffey could emerge as a streamer with the potential for periodic spike weeks, especially in formats that reward efficient shooting and versatility on the wings.
