Cole Beasley Fantasy

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Cole Beasley and Isaiah McKenzie were both involved from the slot in the Week 17 win over the Atlanta Falcons, with Beasley playing 36 snaps to McKenzie's 23 after McKenzie's big game in Week 16 with Beasley sidelined. When the Bills used a prototypical slot receiver, Beasley took the vast majority of snaps (34 of his 36). However, McKenzie played eight snaps to Beasley's one in goal-to-go situations out of the slot. Beasley finished with two catches for 22 yards on six targets, while McKenzie had just one catch for six yards on two targets. When both are healthy, Beasley will be the better deep-league flex in PPR leagues, but neither are particularly attractive due to the rise of Gabriel Davis as the No. 2 in Buffalo's passing attack.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley was expected to have increased value against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. Veteran wideout Emmanuel Sanders (knee) was sidelined, so it was assumed Beasley would step up in his absence. Instead, Beasley hauled in two of his six targets for 22 yards in the win. To be fair, the Bills struggled to pass the ball all game long, so it wasn't all Beasley's fault. Although, it'll be tough to trust him as a fantasy option against the New York Jets next week. It's a plus matchup for Beasley, but he has been too inconsistent this season. He'll be a possible low-end WR3 in PPR formats for that game.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Cole Beasley will return to the field in Week 17 after sitting out last due to due COVID-19 protocols. That being said, Beasley could be looking at an extended role during his first game back. Veteran wideout Emmanuel Sanders (knee) is currently questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. A defense that ranks 29th in pass DVOA this season. The Falcons have struggled to contain the pass, which is great news for Beasley. Before sitting out, Beasley had seen 19 targets over his last two games. The hope is that the Bills continue working him into the passing attack, but you never can be certain with Buffalo. Beasley should be considered a low-end WR3 in PPR formats for this plus matchup.
