New York Giants wide receiver Cole Beasley has asked the team for his release, according to Mike Garafolo. The organization and the veteran wideout have mutually agreed to go their own ways. This makes sense considering the 34-year-old hasn't suited up for the team yet this season. Beasley has been stuck on the practice squad and will now get the chance to look elsewhere for a better opportunity. It's tough to imagine Beasley having fantasy value on any team, but we'll wait and see what happens.
Giants Designate Cole Beasley To Return From Injured Reserve
The New York Giants designated wide receiver Cole Beasley (leg) to return from the practice-squad Injured Reserve on Tuesday ahead of the Week 6 game on Sunday against his former team, the Buffalo Bills. Beasley has missed the first five weeks of the season while on IR. The 34-year-old veteran is back to practice and has been returned to the practice squad, but there's no guarantee he'll be put on the active roster before Sunday's game. Beasley is a long shot to return any fantasy value in 2023 in a crowded Giants receiving corps that also includes Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, rookie Jalin Hyatt, Sterling Shepard, Isaiah Hodgins and Parris Campbell.
The New York Giants placed wide receiver Cole Beasley (quadriceps) on their practice-squad Injured Reserve on Monday and signed receiver Cam Sims to the practice squad in a corresponding move. It means that Beasley won't be eligible to play in the team's first four games of the regular season. Beasley was left off the 53-man roster heading into the start of the 2023 regular season, and he's unlikely to have much of a role in New York's crowded receiver corps if he ever joins the active roster. To open the year, Parris Campbell will serve as the team's starting slot receiver, but the G-Men also have second-year wideout Wan'Dale Robinson.
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that wide receiver Cole Beasley (leg) is sitting out of his second straight training camp practice on Wednesday due to a leg injury. It remains to be seen how serious the leg injury is. In the team's preseason opener last week, Beasley caught four passes in the first quarter. The 34-year-old's big workload in the preseason opener could suggest that the Giants want to see Beasley earn a roster spot heading into the 2023 regular season opener. Even if he's able to make the team out of camp, Beasley will be buried in a crowded receiver room behind Isaiah Hodgins, Darius Slayton, Parris Campbell, rookie Jalin Hyatt, Sterling Shepard and Wan'Dale Robinson.
Cole Beasley Secures All Four Targets In Preseason Opener
New York Giants wide receiver Cole Beasley caught all four of his targets for 33 yards in the team's 21-16 preseason loss to the Detroit Lions. The Giants sat most of their veterans and starters, including quarterback Daniel Jones, but elected to play Beasley through the first quarter. The 34-year-old was only signed three weeks ago, but is familiar with Brian Daboll's offense from their days together in Buffalo. Beasley has 556 catches for 5,744 yards and 34 TDs in his career, but is living in a crowded wide receiver room with fellow slot receivers Parris Campbell, Sterling Shepard, Jamison Crowder, and the recovering Wan'Dale Robinson (knee).
New York Giants wide receiver Cole Beasley worked as the No. 1 slot receiver during Thursday's practice. The 34-year-old has reportedly looked good in practice and has a chance to quickly climb the depth chart. It's worth noting that Parris Campbell (knee) is normally the starting slot receiver, but was sidelined on Thursday. Also, Sterling Shepard and Wan'Dale Robinson are still working their way back from injury. Despite that, Beasley has impressed the team and could work his way into a legitimate role with the Giants. It's still too early in camp to know anything, but it sounds like Beasley is going to be involved in the offense.
New York Giants wide receiver Cole Beasley (quad) won't practice on Friday after being kneed in the quad, according to Giants head coach Brian Daboll. Beasley signed with the team just before training camp and likely has an uphill battle to make the roster, so any missed practice time is not a good sign. Beasley earned Second-Team All-Pro honors in Daboll's offense in 2020 when they were both with the Buffalo Bills organization, but he's been largely unproductive ever since. It would be surprising if the 34-year-old slot receiver enters the fantasy radar in 12-team leagues this season.
The New York Giants have signed wide receiver Cole Beasley to a one-year deal. The veteran wideout said he would retire if he didn't find a new team by training camp. It appears the 34-year-old will hang around for at least one more season. On paper, this doesn't seem like the best fit for Beasley. The Giants are already full with a bunch of slot receivers such as Parris Campbell, Jamison Crowder, Jalin Hyatt, and Wan'Dale Robinson. It's going to be tough for Beasley to carve out a legitimate role for himself with all these wideouts on the roster. At this point, Beasley probably won't have any fantasy value unless he really impresses the team in camp.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley wasn't able to make a huge impact during his short time with the time. He has mainly been veteran depth for this offense, which was basically the role he played on Sunday. The veteran wideout hauled in three of his four targets for 33 yards in the loss. The Bills will head home, which could mean the end to Beasley's career. He briefly played with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season before calling it a career. Then, Beasley decided to play with the Bills for one more chance at winning a Super Bowl. Possibly, Beasley attempts to play another season, but it probably won't be in Buffalo. His fantasy value will be dependent on where he goes if he decides to keep playing.
Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley saw his best game with his new organization last week. The veteran wideout hauled in two of his five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Miami Dolphins. It's worth noting that fellow wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (hamstring) was sidelined for this game. Now, McKenzie is on track to play, which would likely mean a decreased role for both Khalil Shakir and Beasley. It's hard to imagine either of those two players making much of an impact with McKenzie healthy. At best, they would be dart throws in DFS contests.
