In PPR leagues, the wide receiver position is your biggest money maker. You want to roster a plethora of talent who can not only grab a ton of receptions but also see a lot of red zone targets. Tony Romo has a lot of really attractive options in Dallas with names such as Dez Bryant and Jason Witten, but one guy I’m really high on this season is Cole Beasley. I know at this point in the article you may be a bit skeptical, but I plan on changing your mind about this gem of a fantasy option.

I hate to compare players to one another, however, Beasley reminds me of a young Wes Welker. If you compare the two, they are a mirror of one another. I’m not saying he’ll ever be on Welker’s level of talent, but it’s not too crazy to think that Romo and him can’t be the next Brady and Welker type of combo in “Big D”. Beasley quickly became one of Romo’s favorite targets down the stretch run of last season and they should only build from that. Will he be anything more than a fifth wide receiver on your team? Maybe not, but he can be a key cog to your fantasy offense during bye weeks and favorable matchups. Just keep your eye on this young receiver in Dallas, it may pay off come fantasy playoff
