After setting career-highs in targets, catches, yards, and touchdowns in 2016, Beasley went from an emerging PPR value back down to fantasy obscurity in 2017. Aside from two somewhat fluky multi-touchdown games against the Packers in Week 5 and the Chiefs in Week 9, Beasley failed to score more than three fantasy points in 13 of his 15 games.
The loss of Dez Bryant and Jason Witten may open the door once again for Beasley to have value in deeper PPR formats, as there are 219 targets up for grabs based on last year's passing volume of Dak Prescott. The Cowboys brought in veterans Allen Hurns and Deonte Thompson via free agency and drafted Michael Gallup in the third round of the NFL draft to help bolster the passing game. Despite the new faces, it is not out of the realm of possibility that Beasley and Prescott's rapport over the past two seasons will result in the diminutive slot receiver returning to the 98 targets that made him fantasy relevant in 2016.

Cowboys remain confident in Tavon Austin
Poised to be "key part" of offense

|  | First day of camp and all, but there was a lot of Tavon Austin lining out wide with Cowboys' first team. Scott Linehan made Austin sound like a key part of the offense. (The New Orleans Advocate)
FFToday's Take: While there is theoretical opportunity in Dallas at receiver, Allen Hurns would seem to be locked into one spot. The Cowboys would be crazy to block rookie Michael Gallup from significant snaps as soon as he's ready, so either Cole Beasley or Terrance Williams will have to take the hit if this is Austin is going to be a thing this year. Dallas has been reluctant to move away from either player. Thus, Austin remains more of a late-round wild-card fantasy pick than a potential flex option.
