Cole Beasley (WR, BUF) - Week 8 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues

ROSTERED: 40% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: I have been a sucker for Cole Beasley for multiple years now. I'm biased about his talent, probably. But let's be honest here for a minute. How many players rostered on less than 50% of fantasy leagues have such a high floor and steadiness in performing to great levels as Cole Beasley? Not many, that's the answer.

Beasley started the season with his lower PPR points tally (9.8) but he has yet to drop from 11.3 (W5) in any game since then. He's also coming from his best game of the year, in which he led all Bills in targets (12), receptions (11), yards (112)... and fantasy points (22.2). Beasley out-targeted Diggs 12 to 11, averaged 2.2 more yards per reception than the WR1, and only lacked scoring a touchdown (no one from Buffalo did, though).

Although Beasley won't finish every week inside the top-24 wideouts (let alone as a WR1), he's made it into that group two times (two in a row in W6 and W7), and in W3 he finished as the WR28, close enough to it. Beasley is a must-add target in virtually any PPR league, no matter the depth, and a viable weekly FLEX play.

In deeper leagues, you should prioritize getting him over any other player. Beasley comes with a floor of 10 PPR points, and upside to enter the 20+ realm if everything ticks for him and Buffalo's offense, such as last Sunday. Surefire WR3/FLEX with upside to reach WR2 levels.
