  • Finds paydirt in wild-card round

    Beasley brought in two of five targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-31 wild-card victory over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Making his third appearance for Buffalo since ending his brief retirement and joining the Bills' practice squad, Beasley saw his largest role to date in the postseason opener. Beasley and Khalil Shakir both played exactly 30 of the Bills' 72 offensive snaps, with the two wideouts splitting the No. 3 receiver role in place of Isaiah McKenzie (hamstring), who was inactive for the contest. Though Beasley had a costly drop in the contest in which the ball bounced off his chest and into the waiting…read more

  • Joins active roster

    The Bills have signed Beasley to their active roster ahead of Sunday's playoff opener against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Beasley, who had been a member of the practice squad, will provide the Bills with added slot depth for the team's postseason run. In two regular-season contests with Buffalo, Beasley (who also saw action in two games with Tampa Bay) caught two passes for 18 yards. During the 2021 season with the team, the 33-year-old recorded an 82/693/1 stat line in 16 games, but at this stage he's not a high-percentage fantasy option while working alongside top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

  • Elevated for MNF

    The Bills elevated Beasley from the practice squad to their active roster for Monday's matchup against Cincinnati, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Beasley will be active for a third straight game. He's caught his lone target for nine yards in both of his past two appearances, totaling 15 offensive snaps in those games. The veteran wideout figures to see a similar role during Monday Night Football.

  • Lands back on practice squad

    Beasley was sent back down to the Bills' practice squad Monday.

    Analysis: Beasley did catch his lone target for nine yards in Sunday's win, but the veteran played just six offensive snaps over the course of the game. Expect Beasley to be in consideration for another call in the coming weeks given his familiarity with the offense.

  • Up from practice squad

    Beasley has been elevated from the Bills' practice squad ahead of Saturday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: In last weekend's 32-29 win over the Dolphins, Beasley logged 11 of a possible 78 snaps on offense, catching his only target for nine yards. While it's possible the veteran slot man's role could increase in the coming weeks, he still has Isaiah McKenzie and Khalil Shakir to contend with for targets that don't go to Buffalo's top wideouts Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

  • Moves back to Bills' practice squad

    Beasley reverted to Buffalo's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Beasley came out of retirement to join the Bills' practice squad Tuesday, and he was activated for his first game back Saturday versus Miami. The 33-year-old went on to catch his lone target for nine yards, as he played the fifth-most offensive snaps (11) of Buffalo's five available wideouts Week 15. Beasley will now be available for two more elevations from the practice squad this season, so he'll likely continue to serve as the team's de facto No. 5 wideout so long as Jake Kumerow (ankle) and…read more

  • Suiting up after brief retirement

    Beasley is active for Saturday's game against the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Despite coming out of retirement Tuesday, Beasley didn't need much time to reacclimate himself with the Bills offense, one that he worked within from 2019 through 2021. During that three-year run, he averaged 10.6 yards per catch and scored 11 touchdowns among his 231 receptions in 46 games. While Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis serve as Buffalo's top options at wide receiver, Beasley may be able to get in the mix along with Isaiah McKenzie and Khalil Shakir.

  • Joins active roster for Week 15

    The Bills elevated Beasley from their practice squad ahead of Saturday's game versus the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Beasley ended his retirement earlier this week and now will play with his second organization of the campaign after seeing action for the Buccaneers back in Weeks 3 and 4. This also marks his second stint in Buffalo, so he has all the familiarity one could want for such a late-season addition. In 2021, Beasley hauled in 82 of 112 targets for 693 yards (8.5 YPC, 6.2 YPT) and one touchdown in 16 games for the Bills.

  • Ends retirement, joining Buffalo

    Beasley is expected to end his retirement Tuesday and sign with the Bills' practice squad, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The 33-year-old announced his retirement in October after a brief stint with the Buccaneers in which he suited up for two games and caught four of five targets for 17 yards. After the Bills came away from their recent meeting with free agent Odell Beckham (knee) without signing him, the organization will turn to a more familiar veteran receiver to fill out the position group. Given that he spent the 2019 through 2021 seasons in Buffalo under head coach Sean McDermott and with quarterback Josh…read more

  • Set to end career

    Beasley announced Wednesday that he will retire from the NFL, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Beasley will hang up his cleats after 11 seasons in the NFL, including a brief cameo with the Buccaneers for two games thus far in 2022. The longtime slot receiver was named a second-team All-Pro in 2020 after a career-best 976-yard campaign with the Bills. He initially went unselected in the 2012 NFL Draft, but he managed to carve out a successful six-year tenure with the Cowboys before playing three seasons in Buffalo, highlighted by a 2020 trip to the AFC Championship Game.

  • Shifts back to practice squad

    Beasley reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Beasley played a smaller role after being activated by Tampa Bay for the second week in a row, bringing in his lone target for five yards on four offensive snaps against Kansas City. The veteran slot wideout joined the Buccaneers' practice squad to help provide depth for the team's banged-up receiving corps, as Chris Godwin and Julio Jones (undisclosed) returned from injury in Week 4. Beasley also played eight special-teams snaps, and he is now available for one more elevation to the…read more

  • Elevated once more

    Beasley was elevated to the Buccaneers' active roster Saturday, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: This comes as no surprise given the Buccaneers are still dealing with a litany of injuries at wide receiver. While Beasley played only nine offensive snaps last week against the Packers, he did catch three of his four targets for 12 yards, with two of those receptions nearly going for first downs. Beasley is eligible to elevated via the practice squad one more time before the Buccaneers will need to make a choice on whether or not to add him to the 53-man roster.

  • Reverts to practice squad

    Beasley reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Beasley showed up in a relatively significant role with wideouts Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee) all sidelined Sunday, hauling in three of four targets for 12 yards over nine offensive snaps. The 33-year-old slot receiver recorded a first down with a four-yard catch in the first quarter, though his next reception did not come until the 12-minute mark in the fourth quarter. Beasley also played three special-teams snaps Sunday, but his primary value will…read more

  • Quick study in Bucs offense

    Beasley, who signed with the Buccaneers' practice squad earlier this week and was elevated to the active roster Saturday, has quickly picked up the team's playbook, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports. "He's quick, catches up to speed [really] fast, he understands the system," head coach Todd Bowles said Friday. "He's played and he's got a lot of reps under him, so if we needed him, I think he'll be ready."

    Analysis: Beasley's short acclimation curve could help propel him to a productive game Sunday considering the Buccaneers are down Mike Evans (suspension), Chris Godwin (hamstring) and Julio Jones (knee). The veteran slot receiver worked intensively with receivers coach Kevin Garver this week and noted the team's scheme has plenty of carryover for him from the Cowboys and Bills offenses he's played in previously. Given Beasley's prior body of work, he profiles as just the type of sure-handed short-area…read more

  • Moves to active roster

    The Buccaneers elevated Beasley from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: This move comes as little surprise after the veteran joined the Bucs' practice squad earlier this week. With Mike Evans (suspended) and Chris Godwin (knee) out, and the trio of Julio Jones (knee), Russell Gage (hamstring) and Breshad Perriman (knee) all questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Packers, Beasley may see a healthy workload in his 2022 debut.

  • Joining Bucs' practice squad

    The Buccaneers agreed Tuesday to sign Beasley to their practice squad with the expectation of elevating him to the roster soon, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

    Analysis: With Julio Jones (knee) and Chris Godwin (hamstring) dealing with injuries and Mike Evans in line to serve a one-game suspension, Beasley will give Tampa Bay's receiving corps some valuable depth and experience. The 33-year-old, who is coming off back-to-back 82-catch seasons with the Bills, could be called up to the roster for Week 3 ahead of Sunday's game against the Packers.

  • Interested in return to Dallas

    Beasley said he'd want to rejoin the Cowboys if it meant playing with Dak Prescott again, Jori Epstein of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: It would mean exactly that with Prescott locked in as the franchise QB, but Beasley may not have such a warm relationship with the Dallas front office. The 33-year-old slot receiver reportedly has drawn interest from multiple teams since the Bills released him in mid-March.

  • Still unsigned

    Though Beasley remains unsigned, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network suggests "that's not for lack of interest."

    Analysis: With that in mind, Garafolo indicates that the Beasley -- who's coming off back-to-back 82-catch seasons with the Bills -- is staying patient as he waits for the right opportunity/offer to arrive. Depending on where he lands, the 33-year-old could find himself back on the PPR radar in 2022 if he ends up securing a key slot role for his new team.

  • Heading elsewhere

    Beasley is set to be released by the Bills, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The writing was already on the wall here, as the player and team seemed to have a falling out that got worse over time and the Bills gave him permission to seek a trade earlier this month, something that never materialized. Beasley is still as shifty as anyone on short, middle-of-the-field routes, so he'll make a good pickup for the right team. Meanwhile, Gabriel Davis' star continues to brighten.

  • Given permission to seek trade

    The Bills granted Beasley permission to seek a trade Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Garafolo adds that general manager Brandon Beane told him Thursday that the Bills would welcome the slot man back and "no door has been closed" -- however, at this stage, it looks like the 32-year-old could be on the move, either via a trade or by being cut, given his non-guaranteed salary for 2022. Beasley, who is approaching the final year of a four-year contract that he signed with with Buffalo in 2019, is coming off a 2021 campaign in which he recorded 82 catches (on 112 targets) for 693…read more

  • Moves chains in playoff loss

    Beasley caught six passes on eight targets for 60 yards during Sunday's divisional-round loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: This was Beasley's best game since Week 14 against the Buccaneers, as he missed a game due to COVID protocols down the stretch and seemed to have a difficult time getting worked back into a major role in the offense following his return, not to mention he got booed every time he touched the ball in home games the rest of the way from fans not agreeing with his season-long strong stance against vaccinations.

  • Two catches in return

    Beasley secured two of six targets for 22 yards in the Bills' 29-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran possession man made his return after a one-game stay on the reserve/COVID-19 list, but even with Emmanuel Sanders (knee) out of action, he couldn't make much of an impact. In fairness, Josh Allen was extremely inaccurate and threw for just 120 yards overall, so Beasley could see a boost in his numbers versus the vulnerable Jets secondary in Week 18.

    The Bills activated Beasley (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: Although Beasley is unvaccinated, he'll be eligible to return to practice Wednesday after the NFL and NFL Players Association agreed Tuesday on changes to the COVID-19 return-to-play policy, which now allows all players who test positive for the virus to rejoin their teams after five-day isolation periods if asymptomatic or showing diminished symptoms.

    Beasley won't be available for Sunday's game against the Patriots after he was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Tuesday due to testing positive for the virus, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Because Beasley is abiding to the NFL protocols for unvaccinated players, he'll have to complete a 10-day quarantine following his positive test, regardless if he's asymptomatic or not. Since Beasley won't be eligible to rejoin the Bills until the middle of next week at the earliest, he'll miss out on a pivotal matchup with New England that could end up deciding the AFC East champion. With fellow wideout Emmanuel Sanders (knee) far from a safe bet to be available Sunday, the Bills could have to…read more

    Analysis: The receiver will now attempt to get cleared in time for the biggest game of the Bills' season Sunday at New England. With Emmanuel Sanders week-to-week with a knee injury, Buffalo's passing game suddenly has major issues as the team prepares to face one of the league's better defenses in a hostile environment. It's not known yet whether Beasley tested positive for the virus or is a close contact.

  • Inefficient on eight targets

    Beasley caught four passes for 35 yards on eight targets against Carolina on Sunday.

    Analysis: Beasley arguably had a difficult matchup as Josh Allen (foot) dealt with a fiery Carolina pass rush, but the Panthers were also down two of their top three corners, so Beasley mostly worked against backups Sunday. Beasley's target volume was solid as it has been almost all year, but he continued his season-long struggles with getting open downfield. Beasley gets a rematch against the Patriots as Buffalo hits the road for Week 16.

  • Bounces back with nine grabs

    Beasley brought in nine of 11 targets for 64 yards in the Bills' 33-27 overtime loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Beasley's catch total led the Bills and was an especially welcome sight after the reliable veteran was held to one catch against the Patriots in the Week 13 Monday night loss. Beasley's yardage total was also his best since Week 8, as the 32-year-old hadn't eclipsed 46 receiving yards since that season-best 110-yard showing against the Dolphins until Sunday. Beasley will look to deliver another timely effort for managers in their fantasy postseason contests during a Week 15 home battle versus…read more

  • Poor game in poor conditions

    Beasley caught one of three targets for 11 yards in Monday's 14-10 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Quarterback Josh Allen only completed 15 passes in the game, and that might be considered an accomplishment given the terrible weather and the fact that opposing QB Mac Jones only completed two throws. Beasley was open a few times in key moments, but between the howling wind and Allen either not finding him or being able to make a good throw, Beasley was limited to his second-worst output of the season.

  • Five grabs in Thanksgiving win

    Beasley brought in all five targets for 46 yards in the Bills' 31-6 win over the Saints on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Beasley checked in second behind Stefon Diggs in receptions for the night, bouncing back to an extent from a trio of sub-par games where he'd failed to top 33 yards. Beasley is still capped by his typical short-area role, but the limitations are especially pronounced this season due to a figure of 6.7 yards per target that qualifies as his lowest figure in that category since 2017. His next opportunity to build up his yardage numbers comes in a Week 13 divisional clash with the Patriots on…read more

    Beasley (ribs) doesn't carry an injury designation into Thursday's game against the Saints.

    Analysis: On a short week, Beasley was listed as limited for Monday and Tuesday's practice reports before upgrading to full Wednesday. Minus a Week 12 injury tag, Beasley will continue to play through the rib issue he's been managing in recent games. After logging just nine snaps in a Week 10 win over the Jets, he was on the field for 32 snaps in Sunday's blowout loss to the Colts, finishing with four receptions for 23 yards on five targets.

    Updating a previous report, Beasley (ribs) will be a limited participant rather than a full one in Tuesday's practice, Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though head coach Sean McDermott said earlier Tuesday that Beasley would take full reps in the team's main practice session ahead of a Thanksgiving Day game against the Saints, the veteran slot man was spotted on the field donning a red no-contact jersey, which implies that he'll be in line for limited work. Regardless, Beasley still looks on track to play Thursday, and he could see a more sizable role on offense now that his injury is further in the rear-view mirror. After he was capped at…read more

  • Regular practice ahead

    Head coach Sean McDermott said Beasley (ribs) will practice fully Tuesday ahead of the team's Thanksgiving Day game against the Saints, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: While Beasley is thus on track to play Thursday, he's clearly been limited in recent weeks, frequently sitting out plays he would normally be on the field for. A full practice should give managers a little more confidence that he'll be slightly less of an injury risk during the team's shortened week.

    Beasley (ribs) was a limited participant during Monday's walk-through practice.

    Analysis: Beasley has been a fixture on Buffalo injury reports throughout November due to the rib issue, but he has yet to miss a game because of it. Even so, the Bills clearly have been managing his reps both in practices and in games the past two weeks. After playing just 16 percent of the offensive snaps in a Week 11 win over the Jets, Beasley bumped up to 57 percent of the snaps -- still below his usual level -- and finished with four receptions for 23 yards on five targets in Sunday's 41-15 loss to…read more

    Beasley (ribs) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

    Analysis: According to Joe Buscaglia of The Athletic, Beasley didn't take any contact in Friday's practice while he contends with the rib injury, but the Bills saw enough from the veteran slot man to give him the green light for the Week 11 contest. While he'll suit up Sunday, Beasley's workload could be managed to some degree, though likely not to the extent it was last week against the Jets. Beasley reeled in both of his targets for 15 yards on just nine snaps in the 45-17 win, with head coach Sean…read more

    Beasley (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday.

    Analysis: Beasley's return to the field Thursday indicates that his absence from Wednesday's practice was maintenance-related rather than indicative of a setback with the rib injury he has been managing. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Buffalo's slot man approaches Sunday's game against the Colts with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 11 action.

While working through his rib issue in Week 10, Beasley was limited to just nine snaps in this past Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Beasley was limited to just nine snaps in this past Sunday's 45-17 blowout win over the Jets, with head coach Sean McDermott noting afterward that the team was "trying to get [the receiver] through that game," per Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com. With that in mind, Beasley's absence from the Bills' first Week 11 practice isn't overly surprising. As long as he returns to practice in some capacity Thursday, Beasley should be ready to play this weekend against the Colts.

  • Still muddling through rib pain

    Although he played in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Jets, Beasley (ribs) only played nine offensive snaps (two catches for 15 yards), and coach Sean McDermott noted Monday that the team was "trying to get him through that game," Alaina Getzenberg of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: That sounds like coach speak for the team not really needing to push it with the chain-moving Beasley in a blowout win against a weak opponent. Although Beasley didn't have an injury designation coming into the game, he's missed some practice time ever since taking a shot in a win against Miami on Halloween. Beasley did catch eight balls in last week's much closer loss to the Jaguars, so it looks like the team will be simply managing his reps (especially in practices) until he's further past…read more

  • Clear for Sunday

    Beasley (ribs) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's road game versus the Jets.

    Analysis: Beasley played through his rib injury last Sunday in Jacksonville after logging just one limited session, so managing a pair this week Thursday and Friday was enough for the Bills to clear him for game action. He's thus available to face a Jets defense that has yielded 8.5 yards per target (11th most in the NFL) to wide receivers this season.

  • Back at practice

    Beasley (ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant Thursday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: Beasley didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to a limited session Thursday suggests that his absence was more of a veteran rest scenario than an indication that he's suffered any setbacks with a rib issue that he played through last weekend versus the Jaguars. That said, he'll presumably need to practice fully Friday in order to head into Sunday's contest against the Jets minus a Week 10 injury designation.

    Beasley (ribs) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Per Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site, head coach Sean McDermott previously suggested that Beasley's absence Wednesday would be considered a veteran rest day. The wide receiver headed into Week 9 listed as questionable, but he played through his rib issue in the 9-6 loss to the Jaguars while playing 45 of a possible 67 snaps on offense and catching eight of his 11 targets for 33 yards. Assuming Beasley returns to practice Thursday, he'll be on track to play this weekend against the Jets.

  • Plays through rib injury

    Beasley (ribs) caught eight passes for 33 yards on 11 targets against Jacksonville on Sunday.

    Analysis: Between the rib injury and the pass-blocking struggles of the Buffalo offense, a lot was working against Beasley in what should have been one of his most favorable matchups of the season. Beasley's usage was highly inefficient, which is precisely the opposite of what he has been in the vast majority of his Buffalo career. The Bills have another fine matchup against the Jets in Week 10, and perhaps the results will be better than they were against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Beasley only managed one practice -- albeit a limited one -- this week while he contended with the rib injury, but the lack of reps won't prevent him from suiting up Sunday. The slot man is coming off one of his more productive outings of the season in the Bills' win over the Dolphins last weekend, when he produced 10 receptions for 110 yards on 13 targets.

    Analysis: Beasley, who was briefly forced out of last weekend's win over the Dolphins, missed back-to-back practices Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to a limited session Friday suggests that he has a shot to suit up this weekend. The Week 9 status of Buffalo's slot man, who caught 10 passes (on 13 targets) for 110 yards versus Miami -- will be clarified prior to the first wave of games Sunday, with the Bills kicking off at 1:00 ET.

    Analysis: Beasley, who briefly left this past Sunday's win over the Dolphins, now has missed back-to-back practices. What he's able to do Friday therefore should be telling with regard to the slot receiver's chances of suiting up Sunday against the Jaguars. Beasley is coming off a 10-catch, 110-yard effort (on 13 targets) in Buffalo's Week 8 win over Miami.

    Analysis: Brown notes that Beasley did leave Sunday's win over the Dolphins briefly, but the Bills' slot man ended up logging 52 of a possible 73 snaps on offense while catching 10 of his 13 targets for 110 yards. Beasley's participation level in Thursday's practice should add a degree of clarity with regard to his status for this weekend's game against the Jaguars.

    Beasley secured 10 of 13 targets for 110 yards in the Bills' 26-11 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

    Analysis: On a day when the Bills' normally potent passing attack largely was muted for three quarters, Beasley managed to cobble together an outstanding fantasy performance, especially from a PPR perspective. His yardage total was a season high, while his reception tally was his second best of the campaign. Despite the stellar numbers Sunday, Beasley's fantasy managers know all too well how volatile his production has been -- he also has two- and one-catch efforts in his last four games -- so he'll…read more

  • Touchdown versus Titans

    Beasley caught seven of nine targets for 88 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 34-31 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: Beasley trailed only Stefon Diggs in receptions and targets from quarterback Josh Allen, who escaped the pocket to find Beasley on a 29-yard touchdown just before halftime. That play gave the wideout his first score of the campaign, which along with his yardage was a nice way to bounce back from consecutive quiet outings prior. The veteran slot receiver will now embark on Buffalo's bye week before returning to face Miami in Week 8.

    Beasley caught just one of two targets for five yards in Buffalo's 38-20 win over Kansas City on Sunday night.

    Analysis: Considering just how fantastic Beasley was all of last season and the early part of this one, managers have to be grossly disappointed seeing the Bills put up 78 points over the last two games and Beasley having a horrible 3-21-0 combined line over that span. Tight end Dawson Knox and veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders have become major producers in this offense, and that's pushed down Stefon Diggs and Beasley from their normal levels of output.

  • Lowest output of season

    Beasley caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Reading too much into Beasley's disappointing output seems foolish in a 40-0 game, especially after he posted an 11-98-0 line Week 3. What shouldn't be ignored, however, is the emergence of Dawson Knox -- four TD catches in the last three games -- and the fact that Emmanuel Sanders is producing more than an injured John Brown was able to do last year. That means Beasley could be more of a hit-or-miss option in 2021 depending on game script, even though he's still the team's go-to slot receiver…read more

  • Racks up catches in win

    Beasley secured 11 of 13 targets for 98 yards in the Bills' 43-21 win over Washington on Sunday.

    Analysis: It was a prototypical Beasley stat line, with the veteran possession receiver not notching a catch longer than 22 yards and easily establishing a new season high in receptions along the way. Beasley also tied his high-water mark in targets, and he once more could wreak havoc against the Texans in a favorable Week 4 matchup.

    Beasley caught all four of his targets for 36 yards during Sunday's win over the Dolphins.

    Analysis: The pass-heavy Bills took control of the game early and were content to run the ball more than usual. Even with the addition of Emmanuel Sanders, Beasley still seems like the No. 2 option in the passing game, but there are a lot of mouths to feed even in this high-powered offense. Plus, running back Devin Singletary and tight end Dawson Knox simply look like better players this season. Beasley should maintain his value as a deep WR option, but it's hard to see much upside beyond that. Last…read more

None of this should affect Beasley's role in the offense, as he's one of Josh Allen's favorite targets, and he drew a whopping 13 looks in the Week 1 loss.

  • Busy in Week 1 loss

    Beasley secured eight of 13 targets for 60 yards in the Bills' 23-16 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Beasley furnished his usual reception-heavy stat line while checking in second behind Stefon Diggs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. The sure-handed veteran filled his usual slot role, and at least for Week 1, his workload was wholly unaffected by the presence of new No. 2 receiver Emmanuel Sanders. Beasley will look to reprise his strong season-opening performance when the Bills travel to South Florida to tangle with the Dolphins in Week 2.

    Beasley caught four of five targets for 52 yards in the first half of Saturday's preseason game against the Packers.

    Analysis: Josh Allen threw 26 passes on three drives, despite not having Stefon Diggs (knee) in the lineup. Apart from Buffalo's star quarterback, Beasley and Gabriel Davis were the stars of the afternoon, both topping 50 yards one day after being removed from the reserve/COVID-19 list. Targets will be a bit harder to come by with Diggs likely back for Week 1 against Pittsburgh, but the Bills should be able to keep all four WRs involved on a weekly basis, in part by using four-wide formations.

    Beasley and teammate Gabriel Davis have been removed from the Bills' facility and now must undergo a five-day reentry process after they were deemed close contacts of someone who tested positive for COVID-19, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Patriots QB Cam Newton currently is stuck in the same five-day process, albeit for different reasons. Beasley and Davis thus figure to miss the entire week of practice as well as the preseason finale against Green Bay on Aug. 28. Beasley probably wouldn't have played anyway, given his lengthy NFL track record and familiarity with OC Brian Daboll's scheme.

    Analysis: Some had speculated that Beasley was so frustrated by the league's handling of virus protocols that he might be willing to sit out the season, but that won't be the case. He's also cleared the air with some of his teammates who may not share the same views.

    Beasley, who played through a leg fracture at the end of last season, did not join team drills during this week's minicamp practices but participated in individual drills and appeared to be running at full speed, Mark Gaughan of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: It sounds like Beasley has a good chance at being close to full-go by the time training camp rolls around in July, though we'll keep tabs on his progress. Beasley posted career highs in catches (82) and yards (967) in 2020 and probably is the most important factor in the Bills' high-powered offense after Josh Allen and Stefon Diggs.

His Friday practice status bears watching, as a mid-week downgrade isn't ideal. Isaiah McKenzie took most of the slot snaps when Beasley missed Week 17, which was also the first 100-yard game of Gabriel Davis' career.

    Analysis: According to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com, Beasley got banged up near the end of the game and made his way to the locker room early, capping him to a season-low 17 receiving yards on three catches and five targets. Because of how McDermott spoke of Beasley, the veteran wide receiver seems in danger of missing Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, but in the end it may be the prudent decision to make for a team with high aspirations this postseason.

  • Quiet in blowout win

    Beasley caught three of five targets for 17 yards in Monday night's 38-9 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Beasley's lowest yardage output of the campaign somehow came on a night when quarterback Josh Allen passed for 320 yards and four touchdowns. Although the veteran had put forth a few duds across an otherwise outstanding campaign, it was still surprising to see Beasley not get in on Monday's runaway win more significantly. He'll aim to bounce back in Week 17 versus the Dolphins.

  • Builds on career season

    Beasley secured eight of 10 targets for 112 yards during Saturday's 48-19 win against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Beasley continues to expand upon a career year, posting his fifth 100-yard receiving performance of 2020 after logging just three such performances in 31 appearances between 2018 and 2019. Though the 31-year-old endured a quieter week with five catches for 41 yards and no scores last Sunday night against Pittsburgh, his workload has remained steady with double-digit targets over four of the Bills' past five games. A Week 16 matchup at New England appears less than ideal, however, as Beasley…read more

  • Five catches in big win

    Beasley caught five of 10 targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Beasley came back down to earth after a season-high 130 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers last week. Even with the modest output, the veteran slot man is on pace for the first 1,000-yard season of his career. Josh Allen's incredible leap as a passer has certainly helped Beasley's output, as he is a reliable option in PPR formats this year. The Broncos are on tap for Week 15, but luckily for Beasley and his fantasy managers, All-Pro slot corner Chris Harris Jr. plays for a different AFC…read more

  • Paces pass catchers in win

    Beasley brought in nine of 11 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Bills' 34-24 win over the 49ers on Monday night.

    Analysis: The shifty veteran opened the scoring on the night for the Bills with a nifty five-yard touchdown grab early in the second quarter. Despite a temporary exit from the contest in the first half due to a possible head injury, Beasley ended up leading the Bills in receiving yardage while tying fellow wideout Stefon Diggs for the team lead in targets. It was the fourth 100-yard effort of the season for Beasley, who now needs 203 receiving yards over his last four games to post the first 1,000-yard…read more

    Beasley has returned to Monday's matchup with the 49ers.

    Analysis: Beasley originally left the contest early in the first quarter in order to be evaluated for a head injury. He has presumably passed the medical staff's tests, as he is back on the field. Look for him to continue his usual role in the passing game assuming he avoids any setbacks.

  • Throws TD pass to fellow wideout

    Beasley secured two of four targets for 25 receiving yards and tossed a 20-yard touchdown to Gabriel Davis on his only pass attempt during Sunday's 27-17 win against the Chargers.

    Analysis: Beasley's first two career pass attempts in 2016 and 2018 both went for incompletions, but his third NFL throw helped Buffalo push its advantage to eight points at the 9:44 mark of the second quarter Sunday. The SMU product has offered a lowered fantasy floor since Week 8, managing more than 40 receiving yards just once over his past four games. Huge performances of 11 receptions and 100-plus receiving yards Weeks 7 and 10 help compensate for the quieter outings, however. Beasley has registered…read more

  • Back-to-back disappointments

    Beasley caught all three targets for 39 yards in Buffalo's win over the Seahawks on Sunday.

    Analysis: Beasley has posted a few big games this season, but when all the offensive weapons are healthy -- as is the case now -- it's tricky for him to find week-to-week consistency. Stefon Diggs is always going to be the top target monster, but Sunday John Brown and rookie Gabriel Davis both saw more looks than Beasley. No. 11 will have his moments since he's by far the team's best slot receiver, but he's been pushed down the pecking order with the return to health of some other regulars.

  • Lowest catch total of 2020

    Beasley caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: One might think Beasley -- a short-area specialist -- would have been the beneficiary of a rainy, windy day that prevented much deep throwing for either team, but the Bills had the lead most of the game and ended up throwing only 18 times. Beasley certainly has better games in store, and his 41-494-2 line is nothing to sniff at for a No. 3 receiver, though the only sure thing in the Buffalo offense at RB/WR/TE remains Stefon Diggs. Everyone else simply has to pick their spots.

  • Leading receiver in Week 7 win

    Beasley caught 11 of 12 targets for 112 yards in Sunday's 18-10 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Beasley paced the Bills in targets, catches and receiving yards with Stefon Diggs (six catches for 48 yards) held in check and John Brown (knee) sitting out. The 5-foot-8 slot receiver hadn't previously been targeted more than seven times in a game this season, so Beasley will be hard-pressed to match this output against the Patriots in Week 8.

    Beasley caught four of six targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 26-17 loss to the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Beasley trailed only Stefon Diggs in all major receiving categories for the Bills, embodying a reliable underneath option for quarterback Josh Allen during a rainy game that curtailed vertical passing. While Beasley did go for a 22-yard gain Monday, his eight-yard touchdown still marked his biggest impact, as it brought Buffalo within one score midway through the fourth quarter. That play also gave Beasley a touchdown in two of his last three outings, adding a scoring punch to his usually…read more

    Analysis: Beasley exited the Bills' win over the Raiders this past weekend due to the foot injury, though he was ultimately able to return. With that in mind, Beasley seems more likely than not to suit up Sunday against the TItans in Week 5, though the injury could continue to limit his activity in practice for the next day or two.

The veteran reached the end zone for the first time this season Sunday, and while his yardage total was his lowest of the season, he is still on pace to top 1,000 yards for the campaign.

  • Usual role in Week 1

    Beasley caught four of seven targets for 58 yards with no scores in Sunday's 27-17 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: This is a classic Beasley stat line, the good news being there was still some volume left over after Stefon Diggs, John Brown and Devin Singletary all got their usual looks in the passing game. The one kicker is that with two highly regarded receivers this season -- Diggs and Brown -- as opposed to just one, Beasley will almost never be the go-to guy unless the Bills find themselves in a situation where the opponent is giving them nothing but underneath passes for more than one drive.

    The Bills activated Beasley (back) from the active/non-football injury list Wednesday, Vic Carucci of The Buffalo News reports.

    Analysis: Beasley kicked off training camp on the NFI list due to an upper-back issue, but it wasn't serious enough to extend into the practice portion of August activities. The Bills are set to take the field in the coming days, when he'll start to get acclimated with new wideout Stefon Diggs. In any case, Beasley's standing as the slot receiver in the Buffalo offense should ensure a steady floor after he took on a career-high 106 targets last season.

  • Working through back issue

    Beasley was placed on the active/non-football injury list Wednesday due to an upper-back issue, Maddy Glab of the Bills' official site reports.

    Analysis: The team's No. 3 wideout should have plenty of time to recover ahead of the team's Week 1 game. He already has the benefit of continuity with the Bills' offense and quarterback Josh Allen, but his situation remains worth monitoring nonetheless. Assuming the issue subsides, the biggest question surrounding Beasley's value will be how much the presence of offseason acquisition Stefon Diggs affects the team's other receivers.

  • Diggs not a threat?

    Quarterback Josh Allen said last week that Beasley's production will be helped and not hurt by the addition of Stefon Diggs this offseason, The Buffalo News reports. "I think this is going to give them an opportunity to have more chances to catch the ball," Allen said on Sirius XM NFL Radio in reference to Beasley and fellow receiver John Brown. "They had career years and everybody talking about the addition of Stefon Diggs will hurt their value. I think it's the other way around ... Cole, on the inside, if you put a nickel on him, he's a tough cover in man-to-man."

    Analysis: We're not completely sold on increased production for either Brown or Beasley, as the Bills prefer to maintain a strong running game to go with their top-level defense and there are only so many balls to go around for Diggs, Brown, Beasley, tight end Dawson Knox and running back Devin Singletary. However, Beasley is the clear slot guy and it's likely the other guys will be competing against each other with more frequency than the guy who sticks to short, over-the-middle patterns.

  • Still has top-three role

    Beasley, Stefon Diggs and John Brown are expected to serve as the Bills' top three wide receivers in 2020.

    Analysis: The Diggs trade is great news for the Buffalo offense but far less promising for Beasley's target volume. The former Cowboy was mostly limited to slot work in three-wide formations early last season, eventually progressing to a role in two-WR sets as he played more than 80 percent of snaps in five of his final six regular-season games. Beasley once again figures to be limited to three-receiver alignments now that Diggs is in the picture, so a reprisal of last year's 106 targets will be tricky…read more

    Beasley expressed disappointed about his lack of opportunities during the Bills' 22-19 postseason loss to Houston on Jan. 4, Matt Parrino of The Syracuse Post-Standard reports.

    Analysis: Beasley was limited to 64 percent snap share and five targets in a wild-card game that saw Josh Allen throw 46 passes. The slot receiver played more than 80 percent of snaps in five of his final six games during the regular season, only to lose some work to Duke Williams -- 10 targets, 66 percent snap share -- in the playoff loss. Williams dropped a couple passes and was limited to 4.9 yards per target, so he didn't make the best case for himself heading into the offseason. Beasley will turn 31…read more

    Analysis: Buffalo is locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC and several of the team's veteran starters aren't even suiting up. Get Beasley out of your lineup, and overall, Buffalo seems like one of those teams in a boat you're better off avoiding from a fantasy standpoint this week.

He did manage to haul in a three-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter, however, giving him three scores in his last three games.

    Analysis: Beasley's biggest play came early in the third quarter in which he beat his man to the inside from the slot and went for a 15-yard gain to set up a Buffalo touchdown. The veteran receiver had a nice three-game scoring streak in Weeks 7 through 9, but he has not otherwise found the end zone this season and has topped 50 total yards just thrice.

He generated the team's longest play from scrimmage on the day and finished with an impressive average of 18.5 yards per target.
