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

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

Vikings' Chad Beebe: Competing for No. 3 role
Coach Mike Zimmer said Chad 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.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.

Vikings' Chad Beebe: Pens minimum deal
Chad Beebe re-signed Wednesday with the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year, $920,000 contract, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.Beebe would have been owed $2.1 million had the Vikings tendered him, so the team will save over $1 million against the cap by getting him back on a minimum deal. Behind Justin Jefferson and Adam Thielen, there probably isn't room for another fantasy-relevant wideout to emerge in Minnesota, but Beebe has proven to be a reliable depth piece.

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