Start: Cole Beasley

One player who Josh Allen could look towards more this week against the Steelers is wide receiver Cole Beasley. The starting slot receiver was the second option for most of last season and was the other receiver to have over 100 targets on the Bills last year.

He is a player who may not get a lot of yards but in PPR formats could be a good third wide receiver or flex option. Last year against the Steelers, Beasley had 10 targets but finished with only five receptions for 41 yards.

This year he could find a little more success as the Steelers have questions at nickel. They lost Mike Hilton this offseason and are expected to deploy a nickel by committee. If Beasley receives the same number of targets but catches seven or eight passes he also would have around 75-80 receiving yards and be a smart play this week.
