Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% of Fleaflicker Leagues

ANALYSIS:  So the news broke after Sunday night's game that Dez Bryant was going to be out for approximately 4-6 weeks as he gets a screw put into his foot. What does this mean? Well, we know it means there will be an uptick in targets for players like Terrance Williams, Jason Witten, and Lance Dunbar, but it also means that Cole Beasley is going to see an expanded role. Beasley isn't the strongest play, but consider him "Julian Edelman" lite.

For those of you who are in deeper leagues, especially with a PPR scoring system, Beasley is a solid pickup while Bryant is on the shelf. The Cowboys do love to run the ball, but Tony Romo and company will still need to air it out and move the chains. Beasley, despite his Week 1 fumble, will be a relied upon asset to help Dallas succeed without Bryant and is available in nearly all leagues for those of you who are hurting.
