Dallas Cowboys vs. Indianapolis Colts: 3 Players to watch in Week 15
2. Cole Beasley
All of the attention for the wide receivers of the Dallas Cowboys will go to Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup this Sunday, and for good reason as both are very talented players. If that happens, though, this could be one of those games where Cole Beasley has a sneaky good game, which would benefit the Cowboys not just in Week 15, but for however long their season continues.
Beasley this season is second in receptions on the team with 50 catches for 486 yards and two touchdowns. The slot receiver of the Cowboys, Beasley is averaging 9.7 yards per reception in 2018 but has been very quiet in the past three games. In that past trio of games, Beasley has five receptions for a total of 32 yards.
Some of that is the increased yardage gained by Cooper at wide receiver and the play of running back Ezekiel Elliott gaining more traction as well. With Beasley in that game and in most games, he might not be the best overall receiver on the roster, but at any given moment when the offense is on the field, he can make a huge play on third down to keep a drive alive, or better yet, distract the defensive backfield enough to allow a teammate to get open and make a big play as well.
