I've never seen a coaching staff so enamored by non-playmakers leading their offense.
20 mil for how long is the Q.
I found it interesting that several teams at the combine stated an interest in Beasley.
What I read....he made a lot of sense with what he said and it didn't even sound all that damning either. The front office decides who gets targets was about the quote shared but the whole thing amounted to them trading for Amari, so he felt slighted when he got a bunch less targets and didn't want that to impact his chance to make some $. The best part, the most interesting for me, was how he discussed things with Welker. I didn't know they knew each other and to be honest, I like him as a slot a little more now...a little. So he was discussing how you know when you're not considered the best or elite in the NFL- no one ever talks about it outside the league, but the players know. They don't get all these opportunities, don't always get veteran rest, don't get the time off to do interviews, former stars don't come to see you etc. He said he was bitter about it at first (with Dez and Witten) but then decided to use it to his advantage; he would have more time to train and work on his game than those guys.
I've always liked this guy. I like most any player that always talks about hard work and hustles all over the field. The Titans spoke of being interested in him and I've been conflicted about it. They really need a stud like AB but they've almost always been a collection of lunchpail guys so Beasley would be more likely. I don't think he gets them over the top though and... just conflicted.

I bet they would love to have drafted Cooper Kupp as well. Only he's 100x better than Beasley.

So that begs the question - if you want to acquire him, now is the time to do it. But at what price, not knowing where he’ll end up and what his competition will be in the slot when he gets there.

Yeah, I question not only the price but what is the price that he thinks he's worth. If he's really bent out of shape at getting fewer targets once Amari arrived he just might have way, way too inflated an opinion of where he belongs in the NFL pecking order.
Personally, if I were an NFL team in the market for a slot receiver I'd look at Tate, Crowder, Humphries, Cobb, and Rishard Matthews before Beasley given his age and inflexibility to play anywhere but the slot. Is he really that much better than Ellington or Eli Rogers? Maybe, but I'd expect those guys to sign for a fraction of what Beasley is expecting.
Also seems like this draft has quite a few quality WR's. There's no way I'm spending $20mil guaranteed on a 29yo WR that was a 800/5 guy at his zenith(and that was by far his best season)... no matter how many years that $ is spread out. He was under 1,000 and 7 TD's for his last two seasons COMBINED and it's not like there was a ton of talent at WR blocking his production all that time. Sounds to me like he and his agent have a very inflated sense of his talent and if those are the numbers he's looking for it wouldn't shock me at all if ended up signing after the NFL draft. Maybe back with DAL with his tail between his legs.
I don't have him on any dynasty rosters(because he simply hasn't been very productive for the past several seasons) but if I did I would be selling while there is any buzz around him at all.

beat writer Sal Capaccio needs a better copy.............. Beasley name is spelled wrong ......twice. 
Interesting break down....
I think he is being under valued.

Bealey, Beasley, whatever it takes.beat writer Sal Capaccio needs a better copy.............. Beasley name is spelled wrong ......twice.

When they get him in easy matchups that’ll be automatic. But undervalued or not - I agree he could be higher - still not seeing much value in a low efficiency, low volume offense.
In ECR he’s the 4th ranked Bills WR, which is out of touch. His ADP is WR75, behind only Brown WR58.) So flip those, and who else is a WR5 per consensus ADP? Coutee, Moncrief, Tate, Gordon, Tyrell Williams, Campbell, Crowder, Humphries - lot of solid value.
I think he’ll lead Buffalo in targets when you look at their roster.
John Brown and Robert Foster can stretch the field, Zay Jones entering his third year, Roberts is strictly a returner AFAIK, McKenzie is a gadget/bubble screen guy. I know they like Duke Williams physicality but he’s almost surely headed for the practice squad.
I would guess that at least 3/4 of people that follow the Bills think that Beasley will lead the team in targets. In fact I put up a twitter poll at it is at 90% Beasley right now (500 votes).
National fantasy thoughts are that Allen will still go back to heaving it deep... local thoughts are seeing Beasley get all of the targets early on and basically being Welker/Edelman in the NE offense that the Bills run from Daboll.
The only thing I can say for sure is that they are going to throw the ball a lot more than people are expected... a lot more

Cole Beasley deserves some conversation. He signed with the Bills for serious money--29 Million over four years with 14 M guaranteed. And so far in 2019 he is earning his money. While he won't win your league for you, in PPR, he has value.
Through three games he is getting heavy targets and delivering consistent ppr scoring:
Week 1: 9 Targets, 5 receptions, 40 yards= 9 fantasy points
Week 2. 4 Targets, 4 receptions, 83 yards=12.3 points
Week 3: 10 Targets, 8 receptions, 48 yards=14.8 points
This week he has NE, which is a no start and then the Titans, also a Sit Em.
But after his bye, Weeks 7-11 he has choice matchups: MIA, PHI, WA, CLE, MIA. He will be a great Flex option those weeks.
I admit that I was not too interested in Beasley--30 years old and never had a great fantasy year. Buffalo? But Buffalo appears to be a different team and has a good QB for the first time in a long time and Beasley is going to be a pretty reliable 10-12 points, which is a pretty good WR4 or WR5.

Half PPR makes him touch-and-go. Believe me, I've thought of picking him up only to realize that I value yardage more so than the half PPR.

It's all relative and depends on leauge starter reqs. In my league we can start up to 5 WRs (2/3 RB/WR with 2 flex) and it is 1 pt PPR, so he is really quite valuable as a 5th WR.
