Cole Beasley

The starting slot receiver emerged as the second option for Josh Allen in this passing attack. Cole Beasley finished with career highs in receptions (82), targets (107), first downs (53), and receiving yards (967) in 15 games.

The attention that Diggs drew from defenses really helped Beasley find room to work in the short/intermediate routes in the middle of the field. It seemed like it was almost automatic for the veteran to get open and he was close to uncoverable in one-on-one matchups.

However, what is more impressive than anything was his playoff performance. He finished with 14 receptions for 145 receiving yards which was on par with his regular season numbers. The impressive part was he was able to do it with a broken fibula.

The combination of Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley created headaches for opposing defenses and it was rare they had an answer for both.

Grade: A+
