I expect Beasley to be inactive on game-day. He is a 5th WR that can't play Special Teams on a team that wants to feature the 2 TE set.

I think you might be right, Miles will be the primary slot receiver when they go with the 3 receiver set. So the 2 TE set and the 3 WR set will be our personnel package probably a good 75% of the time if not more. Then the goal line package and 4 WR sets will be situational. Also I'd imagine even if they go 4 WRs Beasley would split time with Dwayne Harris and very occasionally when they go 5 WRs would be all of Beasley's snaps which might total 5-10 a game? Is it worth dressing him? I don't know unless he really has improved a lot, I don't see it

He has been returning kicks for us all preseason..

He will not be in real games, he was not good at it at all, and If I remember correctly he fumbled a punt or a kickoff. He brings 1 thing to this team, a slot Receiver and he is good at it but he isn't the best slot receiver on the team, Austin is.... So you have to ask the question does it make sense to dress him every week? I don't know but I'm getting the feeling he won't be active every game unless there are injuries. Although Beasley is a more dangerous slot guy, Harris is a better returner so he will dress if they are only thinking of dressing 4 WRs... Right?

Escobar doesn't look ready to me. It was only two weeks ago that he didn't know he was supposed to go in motion.

cmon.Bennett didnt know where to line up in 4 years he was here.Escobar will be ok catching the ball but his snaps will be very limited(maybe single digits).

That's what I think will happen until he's learned the offense.
