Let's go right back to the Cowboy well with wide receiver Cole Beasley. Again, we're talking 137 targets, and they can't all go to Jason Witten.
Among 51 receivers who saw between 30 and 80 targets last year, Beasley's Reception NEP per target (0.72) ranked him 15th. Teammate Terrance Williams was second (0.95). The big difference, though, is catch rate. Beasley hauled in 75.51% of his targets, fourth in the group. Williams was at just 56.92%, 27th in the group.
If you want big play potential, then you can roll the dice on Williams, but if you're looking for a guy who can eat up short yardage throws and rack up receptions, consider Beasley this week in a game that might feature more short passes than runs for Dallas. given the matchup.
