Beasley retires

WR Cole Beasley is retiring, his agents tell NFL Network. The 33-year-old signed with the Bucs a couple of weeks ago but played just 13 snaps over the last 2 games. Beasley finishes an 11-year NFL career with 554 catches, 5,726 yards and 34 TDs.

Bills WR Cole Beasley was elevated from the practice squad for tonight's game vs. the Dolphins. We'll see how big a role he plays in his first game back with Buffalo, but he's nothing more than a flier in 1-game DFS contests.

WR Cole Beasley is coming out of retirement to re-join the Bills, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. Beasley is 33 now but remained effective as a short-range slot receiver for Buffalo last season, tallying an 82-693-1 line across 16 games. He'll join the practice squad for now but figures to be elevated to the active roster soon. We'll see if he's ready to play vs. the Dolphins on Saturday night. Beasley would be a desperation fantasy play at this point of the season, but his return is bad news for WR Isaiah McKenzie and TE Dawson Knox.

The Buccaneers have promoted WR Cole Beasley from the practice squad for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Tampa Bay will get WR Mike Evans back from last week's suspension, but WR Breshad Perriman is doubtful. Russell Gage, Chris Godwin and Julio Jones are all questionable. We'll see which guys suit up. Don't bet on fantasy relevance for Beasley in Week 4.

The Buccaneers are moving WR Cole Beasley up from the practice squad to the roster. That points to him likely playing Sunday against the Packers. We'd hold off on using the slot receiver in fantasy football lineups, though, without seeing what his role will look like.

Bucs HC Todd Bowles is confident that WR Cole Beasley could play vs. the Packers on Sunday, just 5 days after joining the team. "He's quick, catches up to speed real fast," Bowles said. "He understands the system and he's played and gotten a lot of reps under him." We'll see if Beasley is promoted from the practice squad and active on Sunday, but he'd be nothing more than a DFS tournament flier.
