The Giants are signing WR Cole Beasley. He reunites with Brian Daboll, his former offensive coordinator with the #Bills, and adds another veteran target for Daniel Jones.

Year 12 in the NFL for Beasley back in the NFC East.

It isn't likely that Beasley carries any fantasy value himself but if he makes the team, he could eat into some snaps for the plethora of other slot receivers the team has. At the least, this at least brings a little more veteran presence for Daniel Jones.

It was mostly Parris Campbell working out of the slot, Darius Slayton and Isaiah Hodgins out wide, and Darren Waller all over the field with the first-team offense. That’s in part because Sterling Shepard (knee) and Wan’Dale Robinson (knee) worked on the side as part of their rehab from torn ACLs.

Campbell, who was signed this offseason as a free agent, is destined for a significant role regardless. The Giants think he can do more than be the 68-catch player he was with the Indianapolis Colts last season if he’s healthy in this offense. This spring only validated what they thought they could be getting.

This usage has sent a clear message about third-round rookie Jalin Hyatt, who is "coming along slowly and working primarily with the third-team offense."

The Giants are bringing rookie wide receiver Jalin Hyatt along slowly. The third-round pick mostly worked with the third-team offense this spring. Wide receivers coach Mike Groh dismissed concerns about Hyatt’s limited route tree in college, while acknowledging that it’s a big adjustment for any rookie receiver to transition to the NFL.

The article would go on to mention that Hyatt "could" have a role as a deep-threat specialist as a rookie but that it will be an "uphill climb" for him to unseat an established veteran. In Underdog drafts, Hyatt is currently coming off the board as the WR70 around guys who have already proved they can be valuable at times in fantasy, such as; K.J. Osborn, DJ Chark, and Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce are practicing today as scheduled.

The return of both WRs would be a welcome one for the Colts, especially Pittman. PIttman missed Week 2 but reports said he'd have a shot to play in Week 3 so this is encouraging. The Colts had to roll with Campbell, Dulin and Strachan in Week 2 and were blanked by the Jags. Dulin did post a 5-79-0 line in Week 2 and could still be a factor in the offense going forward.

Rookie WR Alec Pierce is one of a handful of players who have already been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.

Matt Ryan's debut performance as the Colts' quarterback was middle-of-the-road at best, though he did rack up 352 yards passing in the Week 1 overtime tie. Ashton Dulin is the most likely scenario to be the 1v1 replacement for Pierce, with Parris Campbell continuing to operate out of the slot on the majority of his snaps. Meanwhile, there's no signs pointing towards a drop in Michael Pittman's 28% target share.

The Colts have plunged Alec Pierce straight into the deep end, and over the next month, we’ll see how well he can swim. Rarely does a wideout begin his career strictly with the first-team offense; Pierce has been with the starters from Day 1. A lot’s been thrown at him, including the Colts’ voluminous playbook and the demands that come with playing wideout for a Frank Reich team.

The story said not only is the playbook among the most extensive in the league, but Reich also mandates that each receiver knows each position (X, Y and Z). There’s plenty to take in. Sometimes too much. Pierce is learning. He’s making mistakes, but he’s also flashing every bit of the ability that drew the Colts in last spring, the story added. We have Pierce as the team's WR2, behind Pittman. Pierce looks to be in a good spot if he can keep things going as Matt Ryan takes over at QB.

"I cannot emphasize how strongly we feel about Ashton Dulin," coach Frank Reich said. "He's going to play a role in this offense. He's proven it. He's earned it.

"He's a playmaker. We love him. We're all planning on him making a significant contribution to not only special teams but to the offense this year."

Dulin's game was originally built on speed but he has added muscle to change his game and his style. Nate Atkins, the author of the story, said each day of Colts training camp so far has produced a “wow” play from Dulin. The Colts certainly aren't loaded at WR so Dulin has a chance to earn snaps going forward.

Now that the free agent wide receiver market has all but dried up, Ballard has to answer for the lackluster options that new quarterback Matt Ryan has at his disposal after Michael Pittman and Nyheim Hines.

Whether Ballard would like to believe it or not, Indianapolis may have the least amount of WR depth in the league. For fantasy purposes, this could make Michael Pittman an absolute ball hog in the vein of Roddy White, Julio Jones, and Calvin Ridley, all of whom had incredibly high-usage seasons with Matt Ryan at the helm.

The Indianapolis Colts have activated WR Parris Campbell from IR. He can play Week 18.

Nothing but the best for Campbell as he returns from another substantial injury. He has little value Week 18, but could be a playoff option in postseason leagues and DFS.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Parris Campbell returned to the practice field on Thursday.

The oft-injured receiver is participating in his first practice since suffering a broken foot during Week 6. There was some hope that Campbell would be able to return to game action last week, so the return to practice should bode well for his Week 17 availability. The return to practice means that Campbell has been designated to return from short-term injured reserve.
