BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
ROSTERED: 28% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Cole Beasley has been sneakily productive so far this season. Through four games, Beasley has finished as a top-45 receiver each week, providing a nice floor for fantasy managers. In those four games, he has averaged six targets as well. His steady volume and consistent performances make him one of three fantasy-relevant receivers on Buffalo, along with Stefon Diggs and John Brown. The fact that Brown continues to deal with a knee injury only increases Beasley's value.
Beasley's stats to this point have been pretty solid. His 18 receptions, 260 yards, and one touchdown mean that he has averaged 12.5 PPR points per game. As noted above, his consistency is remarkable; he has scored between 9.8 and 16 points each week so far. Beasley may have just one touchdown, but he has seen the sixth-most red-zone targets of all receivers. His touchdown totals, and thus his fantasy production, should increase even more going forward.
Beasley being available in the majority of leagues is pretty baffling. The Bills are averaging the tenth-most pass attempts per game, so he will continue to see plenty of targets. His efficiency has been solid (14.4 YPC) and his contested catch rate is 75 percent. Beasley is a good receiver, and the Bills recognize that.
Beasley's usage and skill both make him a flex option for the rest of the season. While he is unlikely to have any massive, week-winning showings, you can plug him into your lineup and expect a decent contribution. With his respectable weekly floor, Beasley is someone that you should roster before someone else does, especially in PPR leagues.
