Chad Beebe - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Cut by Texans Beebe was released by Houston on Monday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Beebe landed with the Texans in June after sitting out the entirety of last season due to a foot injury. The fifth-year wideout recorded a career-high 20 catches for 201 yards and two touchdowns over 14 games with Minnesota in 2020, and he will now look to carve out a role elsewhere this preseason.

Signed by Texans Beebe signed a contract with the Texans on Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Impact After missing the entirety of the 2021 season with a foot injury, Beebe has joined the Texans ahead of their training camp next month. He last played in the NFL in 2020, turning 20 receptions into 201 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games with the Vikings.

Cut with injury designation The Vikings waived/injured Beebe (foot) on Tuesday.

Impact Assuming he clears waivers, Beebe will revert to injured reserve, which is where he'll reside for the next few months following an upcoming surgery on his foot. With that knowledge, the Vikings will rely on some combination of Ihmir Smith-Marsette, Dede Westbrook and K.J. Osborn to cover the third receiver spot behind Justin Jefferson (shoulder) and Adam Thielen (thigh).

Needs surgery on foot Beebe needs to undergo surgery on his left foot and will be sidelined for several months, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Beebe was competing with Ihmir Smith-Marsette and K.J. Osborn as a fringe wideout with returner capabilities, but his latest injury will most likely end the competition. The 27-year-old appeared in 14 contests with the Vikings last year, catching 20 passes for 201 yards and two touchdowns.

Gets time with first-team offense Beebe had two receptions for 23 yards in Friday's preseason loss at Kansas City.

Impact Beebe appeared to have fallen behind in the competition for the third receiver role with K.J. Osborn having a strong preseason. However, it was Beebe getting time with the first-team offense Friday. A St. Paul Pioneer Press report on Thursday also speculated Beebe may be the leading third-receiver candidate as well. However, Dede Westbrook (knee) ultimately may win the No. 3 job when he gains full clearance from the torn ACL he sustained in 2020. The third receiver role for the Vikings could be in flux early in the regular season and we may not know who will get the most snaps before a Week 1 matchup against the Bengals.

Shows spark Saturday Beebe had two receptions on four targets for 47 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to Indianapolis.

Impact Beebe appears to have fallen behind in the competition for the third receiver role with K.J. Osborn seen having a strong training camp and getting work with the starting offense Saturday over Beebe. The third receiver role remains uncertain, as Dede Westbrook (knee) may ultimately win the job when he gains full clearance from the torn ACL he sustained in 2020. Still, Beebe's strong showing Saturday will keep him in the mix.

Competing for No. 3 role Coach Mike Zimmer said Beebe has done a nice job competing for the No. 3 receiver role in training camp, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Beebe is the incumbent, but that isn't necessarily a big advantage after he caught only 20 passes for 201 yards and two TDs in 14 games last season. Granted, he played only 314 snaps, with Minnesota using 11 personnel on a league-low 29 percent of plays. The team could use more three-wide sets after losing Kyle Rudolph in the offseason, though backup TE Tyler Conklin filled in capably last year. Beebe is competing with Dede Westbrook and fifth-round rookie Ihmir Smith-Marsette, while Bisi Johnson bowed out of the competition with an ACL tear at the end of July.

Won't be tendered, could re-sign The Vikings won't place a tender on Beebe, allowing him to hit free agency, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Impact Beebe proved capable of significant playing time as a backup wideout in his third NFL season, and the Vikings reportedly want to bring him back in a similar role for 2021. However, the lowest possible tender Minnesota could hand Beebe would be worth $2.1 million, a price which the team evidently wants driven down. That leaves Beebe on track to hit the open market Wednesday afternoon.

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

Impact 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.

No targets in loss Beebe wasn't targeted in Friday's 52-33 loss to the Saints.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 28, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 23, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

No receptions Sunday 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.

Impact Beebe played on 34 of the offense's 79 snaps, so he got about his usual 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. Almost all the targets go to Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson in the passing game if both are healthy. Beebe is back to returning punts after a key fumble in Week 12.

DECEMBER 14, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

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

Impact 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.
