6. Cole Beasley, WR, Bills (vs. DEN)

Cole Beasley has had at least three catches and 38 yards in three of the last four weeks and has scored a touchdown in three of the past five weeks. With fellow Bills wide receiver John Brown slowly becoming the No. 1 target in Buffalo, Beasley will have the slot all to himself.

Beasley has enjoyed a 15 percent target share so far this season and, with the ground game looking like a two-headed monster, I could see teams focusing more on that than game-planning for Beas.

The Broncos, who Buffalo plays in Week 12, are coming off a heartbreaking loss where they led 20-0 at the half and let two different Vikings tight ends score touchdowns from the slot position. Look for this to be a low-scoring game between two good defenses but watch out for Beasley as I project he goes beyond his projected 4.4 points.

5. Danny Amendola, WR, Lions (vs. WAS)

The Lions passing attack has come back down to earth since their red hot start to the season. With Kenny Golladay and Marvin Jones as the clear No. 1 and 2 receivers for the Lions quarterbacks, the fight for the No. 3 target has been a rather confusing one between rookie tight end T.J. Hockenson and veteran receiver Danny Amendola.

In the last five games, Amendola has had at least five targets and 38 total targets to Hockenson’s 26 over that stretch. That includes the two games played without Matthew Stafford. With another game where Stafford is out on the horizon against a Washington defense where you can pick a defensive stat and they’ll be bottom three in the NFL, Amendola should continue to put in solid work with Jeff Driskel.
