12 Chad Beebe WR

Beebe ended the season catching 20 of 30 targets for 201 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games.

In his third year with the Vikings, Beebe emerged as a capable backup and achieved career highs in receptions, targets, yards, touchdowns and appearances. This was the first season the 26-year-old was a regular on offense, but it remains to be seen if Minnesota will retain the upcoming restricted free agent.

Beebe wasn't targeted in Friday's 52-33 loss to the Saints.

Beebe played 36 percent of the offensive snaps, but he failed to receive a target for the fourth time this season. This offense continues to run through Dalvin Cook, Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, so Beebe's fantasy prospects are low.

Beebe caught both his targets for 21 yards during Sunday's 33-27 loss to the Bears.

The 26-year-old operated as Minnesota's No. 3 wide receiver, but that only resulted in 20 offensive snaps Sunday. Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson should continue to dominate the production from the Vikings' wideouts.

Beebe did not have a reception on three targets in Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay. He also returned two punts for a 7.5 yard average.

Beebe played on 34 of the offense's 79 snaps, so he saw about his customary amount of playing time. However, he failed to make a reception for just the second time in five games. Still, he's not getting enough targets as Minnesota's slot receiver to make an impact in most fantasy formats. The majority of looks go to Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson if both are healthy. Beebe is back to returning punts after a key fumble in Week 12.

Beebe caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win against the Jaguars.

After playing hero in a Week 12 win over the Panthers, Beebe reverted to his typical usage with Adam Thielen back from the COVID-19 list. He played 28 snaps on offense (31 percent) and saw a 7.5 percent target share. Beebe's still the clear No. 3 wideout, but Kirk Cousins' narrow target tree heavily favors Thielen, Justin Jefferson and Dalvin Cook.

Beebe brought in all seven targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 28-27 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also netted zero yards on his two punt returns and muffed a third.

Beebe ran the gamut of emotions in the last two minutes-plus of the back-and-forth affair, first muffing a punt at his own 14-yard line that led to a Joey Slye field goal and a six-point Panthers lead. However, Beebe was then able to come back and snare what would turn out to be a 10-yard scoring grab with just 46 seconds remaining, atoning for his earlier error in fine fashion. The third-year Northern Illinois product has primarily been limited to special teams all season, but Adam Thielen's absence Sunday due to his placement on the reserve/COVID-19 list opened up a rare opportunity from scrimmage for Beebe. However, the 26-year-old is likely to revert to his spot deep down the depth chart if Thielen returns for a Week 13 battle against the Jaguars.

Bisi Johnson will start as the No. 2 wide receiver Sunday against Carolina with Beebe working as the No. 3 slot receiver while Adam Thielen remains on the COVID-19 list, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

Beebe had been playing as the No. 3 receiver ahead of Johnson when Thielen was active, but he'll stay in the slot role with Johnson moving out wide with Thielen sidelined. Still, Beebe could get more targets of the two, though the Vikings may not target many receivers beyond Justin Jefferson as the team may lean on the running game even more than usual.

Beebe did not have a reception or target in Sunday's loss to Dallas. He played 17 snaps on offense.

The Vikings utilized two tight ends more with Irv Smith back from a groin injur, and the game flow didn't dictate the use of three-receiver sets as much. Beebe remains the third receiver, but he could have a larger role this week if Adam Thielen misses time after landing on the COVID-19 list.

Beebe caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Monday night's 19-13 win over the Bears.

Beebe helped the Vikings move the sticks with a 12-yard reception during the first quarter. With another grab later, the third-year pro posted just the third multi-catch game of his career, giving him something to build on in advance of Week 11's game versus the Cowboys.

Beebe was not targeted on any of his 17 offensive snaps, though he did register a 19-yard kickoff return during Sunday's 34-20 win against Detroit.

Beebe's offensive workload Sunday was in line with his involvement from previous games, as he had averaged 19.6 offensive snaps per contest in five appearances between Weeks 3 and 8. The Northern Illinois standout has totaled five receptions for 47 yards on the 2020 campaign, adding 2.3 yards per attempt on his three punt returns. In a top-heavy receiving corps that consists of Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson, Beebe has been hardly involved despite being listed as the No. 3 wideout.

Beebe caught his lone target for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-22 win over Green Bay.

No Vikings player caught more than three passes, as the team rode Dalvin Cook's dominant rushing performance to an upset victory over the NFC North rival Packers. With Minnesota likely to go run-heavy with a healthy Cook, Beebe will have a hard time carving out much of a role as the team's distant third receiver behind Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson.

Beebe had two receptions for 13 yards on five targets in Sunday's loss to Atlanta.

With the Vikings falling behind by 20 points in the first half, Minnesota used three-receiver sets more than usual, which resulted in Beebe getting a season-high five targets. The third receiver hasn't been a large factor in the Minnesota offense, so Beebe likely won't have viable fantasy value in most formats even though he seems to have a firm hold on the role.

Beebe had one reception for 11 yards on two targets in Sunday's loss at Seattle. He also returned two punts for an average of 3.5 yards.

Beebe was the primary slot receiver and he played on 27 of the offense's 87 snaps. However, Minnesota's passing offense looks to have few targets for anyone but the running backs, Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson. Beebe was back as the punt returner, as he's been alternating duties with K.J. Osborn, who was sidelined with a hamstring injury.

Beebe did not have a target nor reception in Sunday's win at Houston. He played 16 of 66 snaps on offense.

Beebe went out for a pass on only nine snaps. He also wasn't used in the return game with K.J. Osborn returning after being inactive last week. Minnesota's passing offense looks to have few targets for anyone but the running backs, Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson.

Beebe had one reception for nine yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to Tennessee.

Beebe was active for the first time this season and overtook Bisi Johnson on the depth chart, working mostly as the slot receiver. Beebe played 22 of the offense's 65 snaps with Justin Jefferson working as the No. 2 receiver opposite Adam Thielen. Beebe could see more targets come his way if he can stay healthy and the offense gets more comfortable with him in the slot.

Beebe will be active for the first time this season for Sunday's game against Tennessee. He's expected to return punts with K.J. Osborn inactive, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Beebe may not get may snaps on offense, but he'll play his first game since Week 3 of the 2019 season. He suffered a season-ending ankle injury last year.

Beebe is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Packers, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Seven wide receivers made the cut for the Vikings and six of them will be active for Week 1, but Beebe is not among that crew.

Beebe has made Minnesota's 53-man roster to begin the regular season, The Athletic reports.

Beebe began the 2019 season as Minnesota's potential No. 3 wide receiver, but he was limited to only three games due to an ankle injury. While he's healthy entering the 2020 regular season, he wasn't seen as a contender for the third-receiver role during training camp. He'll likely begin the season as the fourth or fifth receiver and make a larger impact on special teams. Still, he's always made a strong impression when given playing time on offense, but he needs to show he can stay healthy.

Beebe (ankle) likely will enter training camp as the Vikings' No. 4 wideout, Eric Smith of the team's official site reports.

The 26-year-old entered 2019 with high expectations as Minnesota's potential No. 3 wide receiver, but he was limited to only three games in 2019 due to the ankle injury. The Vikings drafted Justin Jefferson 22nd overall and signed Tajae Sharpe, but the departure of Stefon Diggs brings a level of uncertainty behind top option Adam Thielen. Beebe and Bisi Johnson figure to be in competition for the No. 4 spot on the depth chart in camp.

Beebe (ankle) will not return during the 2018-19 season, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

The Vikings anticipated that Beebe would return from IR at some point when he was initially placed on the list back in late September. That will evidently not come to fruition, ending his second NFL season with Beebe having accumulated two catches for 70 yards on two targets over three games. He's expected to be ready for the start of the 2020 offseason program.
