Chad Beebe Fantasy

The Minnesota Vikings re-signed wide receiver Chad Beebe to an undisclosed one-year deal. Beebe became an unrestricted free agent when the team didn't tender him as a restricted free agent, but he winds up back in Minnesota anyway. The Vikings agreed on something cheaper than $2.133 million for Beebe for the 2021 season. The son of former NFL player Don Beebe, Chad joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2018 and has the best season of his short career last year, recording 20 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games (zero starts). The 26-year-old slot receiver has speed to spare and good hands, but he's unlikely to have any fantasy value behind Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen and tight end Irv Smith Jr.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe made the first touchdown catch of his career with 46 seconds remaining in Sunday's win over Carolina, icing a double-digit second half comeback. With Adam Thielen (COVID-19) unavailable, Beebe stepped into a larger role during Week 12 and finished with seven receptions for 63 receiving yards. Beebe muffed a punt late in the game that nearly spelled the Vikings' demise, but his seventh catch -- which matched his 2020 total entering the game -- sealed the game. Kirk Cousins did a masterful job of spreading the ball around in Thielen's absence with four different receivers hauling in at least seven catches, which makes rostering Beebe next week versus Jacksonville somewhat of a risk. Check back for updates on Thielen's status throughout the week as his return would all but knock Beebe out of fantasy consideration despite his exhilarating performance.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Chad Beebe (ankle) has torn ligaments in his ankle but won't have surgery, according to a league source. The Vikings will re-evaluate him in a week. Needless to say, Beebe won't be back anytime soon, and surgery is not off the table yet. The 25-year-old has not been fantasy relevant in a run-first offense. Beebe has caught both of his targets for 70 yards in three games this year. Rookie Olabisi Johnson and Laquon Treadwell will fight for scraps behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs moving forward.
