Cole Beasley (WR, DAL) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 8% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Cole Beasley was another PPR favorite of mine this off-season. For all the questions I got, “Would you rather have Allen Hurns or Michael Gallup?” I always answered Cole Beasley. Two years ago, Beasley was Dak Prescott’s favorite target. In 2016 Beasley had 75 catches for 833 yards and five touchdowns. Beasley ended the year as the WR33 in PPR leagues.

In Week 1, Beasley looked like Prescott’s favorite target again against the Carolina Panthers. Beasley led the Cowboys in targets with eight and had seven receptions for 73 yards. Those numbers aren’t going to jump off the page all year long, but in PPR league, you will want to stash the potential WR1 for the Cowboys. If you are in standard, I wouldn’t be as interested but it would be worth keeping an eye on if the touchdowns start to come.
