Cole Beasley

The matchup of the day will be Stefon Diggs and John Brown going up against Byron Jones and Xavien Howard. This is undoubtedly strength vs. strength but the Buffalo Bills could have a big advantage in the slot with Cole Beasley.

The veteran receiver is likely to be going up against Jamal Perry, who is entering his second year in the league and is coming off a bit of a down game against the New England Patriots. He allowed completions both times Cam Newton threw his direction, according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald.

As for Beasley, he is coming off one of the best years of his career last season with the Buffalo Bills. While he may not have gotten the same fanfare that Diggs or Brown got, he still was incredibly productive with four receptions for 58 yards.

It would not be surprising to see him finish this game closer to the seven or eight reception range as well as scoring his first touchdown of the 2020 season.
