BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team PPR Leagues
OWNED IN: 15% of FleaFlicker leagues
ANALYSIS: With the Dez Bryan injury, Dallas is going to have to find new receivers to throw to. In the previous two seasons, Beasley has turned 103 total targets into 76 catches for 788 yards and six TDs.
On a per target basis, that equates to 1.11 points per target. Beasley got six targets in Week 1 with Dez only missing part of the game - so isn't it conceivable that in a shootout with the Eagles, Beasley gets 10 targets?
If so, his numbers from the past two years tell us that he should convert those targets into 10+ fantasy points. Here are some more details to digest:
1) Among WR's w/ at least 100 targets only Jarvis Landry has a higher catch percentage (74.2) than Beasley (73.4) since 2013.
2) Cole Beasley averages more fantasy points per target (1.11) than Edelman (0.96) over the past two years.
3) Beasley's points per target (1.11) better than prime Wes Welker '07-'12 (1.04)
