Cole Beasley, WR, Dallas Cowboys

In what is apparently the trend this week, Cole Beasley is another wideout with standalone fantasy appeal that stands to see a big boost in value because of injures.

The Dallas Cowboys have been about as unclear as possible about Dez Bryant's injury, which is a fracture in his knee. Bryant says he "hopes to play" on Sunday, but that seems exceedingly unlikely at this point.

Beasley has quietly seen a team-high 25 targets this season, accounting for 25.8% of the Cowboys' total. He is the WR30 in points per reception (PPR) formats.

Dallas' offense is also in a good spot this week, taking on a San Francisco 49ers team that plays at the league's fastest pace -- meaning the Cowboys will likely run more plays than normal. Beasley is already averaging 8.3 targets per game, and this week is lining up nicely for him to see more than that on Sunday.
