NFL.com: Buffalo Bills 'unsung hero' is Cole Beasley
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2021 10:10 amIt's always going to be tough for Beasley to get his due credit when playing in a receiving corps headlined by Stefon Diggs, and that's perfectly fine. But since we're highlighting the unsung heroes, few fit the bill quite as well as Beasley, a slot receiver who has made his quarterbacks look good for quite some time. Beasley caught 82 of his 107 targets in 2020 for 967 yards and four touchdowns, helping Bills passers post a rating of 108.3 when targeting him and finishing with a catch rate over expectation of +7 percent. Beasley nearly broke 1,000 receiving yards while only accounting for 18.7 percent of his team's total target share -- similar to the shares of other receivers like CeeDee Lamb, A.J. Green and Russell Gage -- and served as the perfect underneath complement to Diggs, who had a career year in his first season with Josh Allen. Beasley's been hampered by a knee injury in the playoffs, but when healthy, he's as reliable as they come in the passing game, and he helped Buffalo reach new heights in 2020.
