DAL WR Cole Beasley - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Cole Beasley worked his way into the receiver rotation and even started six games last season. He rewarded the Cowboys with a career-year. The veteran set career-highs in receptions (75), receiving yards (833), and touchdowns (5). Although he never had big games numbers-wise, Beasley was a model of consistency as he caught at least four passes in 13 of 16 games.

Fantasy Downside

Beasley isn't going to win your weekly matchup for you. His numbers are partially deflated because the Cowboys love to run the ball and are good at it. But even though he is the No. 2 receiver on the depth chart, he doesn't play like at WR2.

2017 Bottom Line

Beasley is actually a good fit for the Cowboys opposite Dez Bryant, but from a fantasy standpoint, he is depth. His ADP is 141 which puts him as a selection 12th to 15th round. He did put up WR3 numbers in 7 of the 16 games which means he can be a good sub for an injured player or bye week.

DAL WR Cole Beasley - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at New York Giants
Although Cole Beasley has settled in as the Cowboys No. 2 receiver, the issue remains the same for him: targets. He is only getting targeted an average of six times per game over the past eight games. The limited targets definitely influence his fantasy numbers and ranking. The good news is he was a targeted a season-high 12 times in the opener against New York. The Giants are decent against wide receivers (ninth in aFPA), so Beasley shouldn't do anything that he has been doing this season. Keep him on the bench Sunday night for Week 14.

DAL WR Cole Beasley - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Washington
Cole Beasley's numbers continue to be consistent as he caught five passes last week for 59 yards and touchdown. When Beasley gets in the end zone, it makes him a very good play because we know he is going to get enough targets to be effective.

Washington is 4th in aFPA to wide receivers, so it is a tough matchup, so this might not be the best day to start Beasley. Keep him on the bench Thanksgiving day unless you are in a PPR league. Then he can play as a flex or WR3.

DAL WR Cole Beasley - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Baltimore
Although Cole Beasley had a team-high nine targets last week against Pittsburgh, his fantasy numbers were average with five catches for 33 yards. Beasley is a nice secondary receiver for the Cowboys, but Elliot and Bryant are going to get a ton of touches (which limits what Beasley can do).

For Week 11, keep Beasley on the bench, as there is no expectation for the Cowboys to change what they are doing (even if the targets remain high for Beasley).

DAL WR Cole Beasley - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Pittsburgh
Cole Beasley might be the most predictable wide receiver in fantasy football. He has averaged five receptions and 63 yards per game. When you look at his game-by-game numbers, he is always around those numbers. So that's what you can expect.

It's a touch matchup this week against the Steelers who are 5th in aFPA to wide receivers. Since we will assume Beasley's numbers will be the same again, keep him on the bench for Week 10.

DAL WR Cole Beasley - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Cleveland
Beasley's numbers last week were a basically a reflection of his whole season. He caught four passes for 53 yards, while being targeted seven times. That's slightly below his season average, but you get the point. He hasn't had any big games. He hasn't been shut down.

The problem is those averages are not great fantasy numbers. Although he is the Cowboys No. 2 receiver and they play an awful Cleveland pass defense this week, he has to improve those numbers to get time in a fantasy starting lineup. Keep Beasley on the bench for Week 9.

DAL WR Cole Beasley - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Philadelphia
With WR Dez Bryant expected to return, Cole Beasley goes back to his role as a secondary receiver (which fits him better on the NFL level). He fared well when Bryant was out, catching 13 passes for 177 yards and three touchdowns.

With a tough matchup against the Eagles (who are third in aFPA to wide receivers), Beasley is not a good fantasy play. His targets will be limited, and the Cowboys offense will focus on other players. Sit Beasley for Week 8.
