Atones for late miscue 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...
Impact 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.

Stays in slot role 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 Kra...
Impact 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.

No receptions Sunday Beebe did not have a reception or target in Sunday's loss to Dallas. He played 17 snaps on offense.
Impact The Vikings utilized two tight ends more with Irv Smith back from a groin injury 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.

Makes two grabs Beebe caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Monday night's 19-13 win over the Bears.
Impact 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.
NOVEMBER 17, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
No catches against Lions 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.
Impact 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.

Cooking with Dalvin: Vikings ground game going strong
Dalvin Cook showed up for his postgame interview in Green Bay wearing dark shadesNOVEMBER 3, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
One catch in Week 8 Beebe caught his lone target for 16 yards in Sunday's 28-22 win over Green Bay.
Impact 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.

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

Just one reception Sunday 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.
Impact 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.
OCTOBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Reduced role Sunday Beebe did not have a target nor reception in Sunday's win at Houston. He played 16 of 66 snaps on offense.
Impact 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.
OCTOBER 5, 2020 • ROTOWIRE
Increased role Sunday Beebe had one reception for nine yards in Sunday's 31-30 loss to Tennessee.
Impact 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.
