Beasley caught four passes on six targets for 40 yards Sunday.
Quarterback Brandon Weeden had a terrible game, and even when Beasley was able to get open underneath Weeden wasn't able to find him consistently. The Cowboys get their bye next week and could well switch to Matt Cassel under center in Week 7, but Beasley's role isn't likely to change much.

Beasley caught all six of his targets for 62 yards in Sunday's OT loss to the Saints.
Lance Dunbar's potentially season-ending knee injury will likely result in an uptick in Beasley's target volume going forward, making him a better play in PPR leagues.

Beasley caught all four of his targets for 49 yards in Sunday's loss to the Falcons.
He was once again only minimally involved in the offense but Beasley was the only wide receiver to catch a pass at all from Brandon Weeden, who mainly focused on underneath routes and check-downs with his tight ends and running backs. The Cowboys passing game will likely struggle as long as Tony Romo (collarbone) is sidelined, but Beasley at least shouldn't lose what value he has while Weeden is under center.
Mon Sep 21 201511:48Beasley caught four passes on five targets for 14 yards Sunday
Beasley caught four passes on five targets for 14 yards Sunday.
It was a disappointing showing, as he was expected to see a bump in his production with Dez Bryant (foot) sidelined. Tony Romo is now out of action for two months or more with a broken clavicle, but Beasley received two of Brandon Weeden's seven attempts after Romo left the game, so his value may not decrease going forward due to the change under center.

Beasley caught four passes for 49 yards on six targets in Sunday's 27-26 win over the Giants.
Despite the decent receiving line, Beasley had a poor night, losing a fumble that was returned for a touchdown shortly before halftime. He did still get a bump in season-long value, as Dez Bryant is expected to miss four-to-six weeks with a broken foot, NFL on ESPN reports. Beasley won't necessarily see an uptick in snaps, but he should get some extra targets until Bryant returns. Devin Smith will likely to replace Bryant in the starting lineup, as Beasley almost exclusively lines up in the slot.
Fri Aug 21 201509:59Beasley (Achilles) returned to practice Thursday
Beasley (Achilles) returned to practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports.
He needed just two days off to rest his sore Achilles, so expect him to be healthy for Week 1.
Tue Aug 18 201519:23Beasley (Achilles) didn't take part in practice Tuesday
Beasley (Achilles) didn't take part in practice Tuesday, Todd Archer of ESPN Dallas reports.
As expected, Beasley took a seat due to an Achilles concern, which is an injury that can linger for some time. Consequently, absences could dominate his immediate future, with likely questionable status for the Cowboys' next tilt Sunday at San Francisco and perhaps the rest of the preseason slate.
Tue Aug 18 201515:30Cole Beasley: (Achilles) Misses Practice Tuesday
Beasley is expected to miss Tuesday's practice with an Achilles injury, the Dallas Morning News' Brandon George reports.
There's been no indication that the injury is serious, but Beasley may still be in danger of missing one or two preseason games. Assuming he's fine for Week 1, he's locked in as the Cowboys' No. 3 wide receiver

Beasley caught his only target for five yards during Thursday's preseason game against the Chargers.
He came off the field quickly, as the Cowboys' first-team offense only played one series, but Beasley already appears just about ready for Week 1. He's locked in as the team's slot receiver and could see a bump on last year's 49 targets with DeMarco Murray gone and more of the offensive load falling on the passing game.
Tue Mar 3 201514:45The Cowboys and Beasley have come to terms on four-year
The Cowboys and Beasley have come to terms on a four-year, $13.6 million contract, the Dallas Morning News reports.
Beasley, who was slated to be a restricted free agent, is thus in line to reprise his slot role with the Cowboys in 2015 and beyond. It's an assignment that resulted in the third-year wideout catching 37 catches for 420 yards and four TDs (both career-highs) in 2014. Assuming he stays healthy this coming season, Beasley will continue to merit attention in deeper fantasy leagues, notably PPR formats.

Beasley was Tony Romo's favorite target on Sunday, catching six passes on nine targets (both team highs) for 57 yards.
The diminutive slot receiver finished the regular season with 37 catches on 49 targets for 420 yards and four TDs (both career highs). Beasley will likely have to fend off second-year wideout Devin Street in 2015 to hang onto the number 3 spot on the Cowboys' depth chart, and maintain even his current modest level of production.

Beasley was targeted three times in Sunday's 42-7 win over the Colts, finishing with two catches for 29 yards and a touchdown.
Beasley's value is almost entirely touchdown-dependent, though the getting's been good lately, with four scores in his last five games. He'll close out the regular season next week against Washington.

Beasley caught 4-of-4 targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 38-27 win over the Eagles.
Beasley has been highly efficient on his targets over the last four weeks, and he's clearly a bigger contributor than Terrance Williams, who has just five receptions for 75 yards over the same period. Of course, Beasley is still just the fourth option in a balanced offense, and he doesn't offer much upside on a weekly basis.
Fri Dec 5 201400:02Beasley caught 3-of-3 targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in...
Beasley caught 3-of-3 targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 41-28 win over the Bears.
DeMarco Murray and Dez Bryant accounted for 18 of the Cowboys' 26 targets, but it was surprisingly Beasley who scored touchdowns No. 2 and 3 for the season. The scoring receptions were impressive, as he had to fight for the end zone on both occasions, though it did appear he was a bit short on the second one. While the offense still runs through Murray and Bryant, Beasley has been a bigger factor than Terrance Williams of late, recording nine catches for 149 yards and three touchdowns over the last three games. It's unwise to expect similar production in the coming weeks, but Beasley does draw a favorable Week 15 matchup with the Eagles.
Fri Nov 28 201410:19Beasley caught four passes on season-high seven targets for 41 y...
Beasley caught four passes on a season-high seven targets for 41 yards in Thursday's loss to the Eagles.
The Cowboys' slot receiver is becoming more involved in the offense, and has outproduced nominal number two WR Terrance Williams three weeks in a row. If you need some wideout help for your playoff run in a deep PPR league, Beasley could be worth grabbing in advance of Week 13's game against the porous Bears secondary.

Beasley caught 2-of-2 targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 win over the Giants.
Beasley had a fantastic catch-and-run for a 45-yard touchdown, and his other reception picked up 21 yards on the game-winning drive. He hasn't drawn more than two targets since Week 5, but a Thanksgiving matchup with the Eagles could perhaps lead to a few extra opportunities.
Mon Sep 15 201410:39Beasley caught only target for 10 yards in Sunday's win over Tit...
Beasley caught his only target for 10 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans.
Through two games, the Cowboys have relied more on DeMarco Murray's legs than Tony Romo's arm to drive the offense, and as a result players like Beasley haven't been very involved.
Tue Sep 9 201410:33Beasley caught four of five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's los...
Beasley caught four of five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the 49ers.
He has a solid hold on the Cowboys' slot receiver job, and should have some value in PPR leagues as a result. Don't expect big yardage totals or many scores from Beasley this season, though.
Sat Aug 16 201423:09Working as 3rd wide receiver with first-team offense, Beasley ca...
Working as the No. 3 wide receiver with the first-team offense, Beasley caught one pass for 17 yards on two targets in Saturday's preseason game against the Ravens.
Beasley is competing with Dwayne Harris and Devin Street for playing time behind Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams. None of the three did much in Saturday's game, but the usage indicates that Beasley's the favorite to work as the No. 3 wideout come Week 1.
Sat Jun 14 201413:41Beasley will have an expanded role this year
Cowboys receivers coach Derek Dooley said WR Cole Beasley will have an expanded role this season.
Limited almost exclusively to the slot in 2013, Dooly said Beasley will need to play outside some this season. "He's really expanded his route inventory," Dooly continued. "He's going to be a much better player than he was last year." With Miles Austin out of the picture, Beasley has a great shot to earn the No. 3 receiver duties in a Cowboys' offense that should throw a ton under new OC Scott Linehan. Beasley could carry some PPR value this season.
