2020 Fantasy Outlook
Beasley quietly put up a solid season last year with 67 catches and six touchdowns on 106 targets while operating out of the slot. His per-play averages were nothing special, but chain-movers like Beasley rarely run downfield routes. At 5-8, 174, Beasley is small, and he's quick in and out of his breaks, with enough speed - 4.49 40 at the 2012 combine - to gain yards after the catch if he makes someone miss, though he doesn't break many tackles. The biggest issue for Beasley this year is the arrival of Stefon Diggs, a bigger, faster, quicker receiver who can also line up in the slot on occasion. It's likely deep threat John Brown, Diggs and Beasley will often be on the field together, but Beasley is the least talented of the three and probably will reprise a smaller version of last year's role.

Plays through leg fracture
Beasley played through a fractured fibula during the playoffs, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bills listed Beasley with a knee injury from Week 17 through the AFC Championship Game, never revealing any details. The slot receiver missed only one game (the regular-season finale) but said the injury bothered him during the first two rounds of the playoffs. Beasley felt better during the AFCCG loss to Kansas City, and he expects to have a normal offseason after catching seven passes in his final appearance of the campaign. The 31-year-old should be safe in Buffalo for the third season of his four-year, $29 million contract, considering he finished 2020 with career highs for catches (82), receiving yards (967), targets (107), yards per catch (11.8), yards per target (9.0) and catch rate (76.6 percent).

Jerry Donabedian dives into 2021 NFL best ball, picking 12th in his first draft of the year. With running backs flying off the board in the early rounds, there was value to be had at QB and WR.

Jerry Donabedian reads offseason tea leaves for every NFL team, including an up-and-coming Chargers squad that needs to make tough decisions on Hunter Henry and Mike Williams.

Beasley agreed to terms with the Bills this offseason on a four-year pact worth $29 million. The 30-year-old is coming off of a 2018 season in which he caught 65 passes for 672 yards and three scores in 16 games for the Cowboys. In addition to signing Beasley, John Brown was added to Buffalo pass-catching group that previously had minimal depth behind Zay Jones and Robert Foster. The team now has four wide receivers who can make a legitimate case for regular snaps, though it's safe to assume Beasley was signed with a consistent slot role in mind. Dividing playing time outside between Brown, Jones and Foster figures to be the greater challenge, and there won't be a ton of catches to go around unless Josh Allen improves his accuracy.
