With Davis and Beasley back and the game McK had last week it's going to be really interesting to see who gets how many snaps. 

Indeed. But it has varied a lot from game to game anyway. Sometimes according to the gameplan, sometimes just how it came about. I'm sure McK was designed to get more shots last game... but not THAT much. Sometimes it happens. WRs are stacked for the Bills.

Agree, do keep in mind McKenzie’s wins were almost entirely man coverage, wonder how he does reading zone.

Not only man...but the majority of his work was outside the hashmarks as well...whereas Beasley normally produces closer to the hashmarks. Real possibility IMO we see Beasley and McK in the field together some as well attacking different layers of the defense.

Assuming Davis is healthy, he should be starting and getting the lion’s share of the snaps over the aging prophet.  Beasley will get his spot back, he’s the vet, he’s shown for years he has what it takes to win on a consistent basis, but I sure hope McK keeps getting snaps, he’s not Tyreek Hill, but he sure does make the D have to be more aware when he’s out there, especially when he’s in motion pre-snap.  
 

I’d like to see them run some Jet Sweeps with him and have Allen peeling off the other direction, always give the ball to him, save the Allen keeper for the playoffs.  Maybe use it to set up a flea flicker later as well.  If McK has it in him to throw, I’d like to see him in the sweep and throw one down field, again, put the fear in the coordinators going forward, slow down the reaction speeds a little as we get close to critical games.  It’s a great time to do it, if there is a mistake they SHOULD overcome it against the 2 bad teams left on the schedule.  The other thing that could be fun is to have him and Bease run parallel mirrored routes underneath the LBs and have them split at the top of the route, one coming under one going over or out and force the D to read who’s going where, worst case the TE should be open if the D finds both of them.

 

Anyway, point of story, I hope he’s not the Christmas toy that’s lost in the closet by New Years.

You could definitely be right about Beasley getting his snaps back, but there's no question that he isn't nearly as effective against man coverage this year as he has been in the past. IMO that doesn't look like it's coming back. I think we'll see McK trend up. 

 

We'll see. Maybe I think so because I hope so. McD has showed a habit of being very slow to make changes away from experienced players during the year.

Man has he ever shown a downright fear to make a change mid-year.. I agree, I think Bease is falling off some, but we’ll see.

Cole wins. He was right!

Wasn’t Beasley injured (somewhat)?  If so, I’d activate him but let him sit.  Get him healthier/fresher for the playoffs. 

Yeah no need to make him go if he’s not 100%. Unless we are stagnant on offense, leave him on the bench.

He had some rib soreness from earlier in the year that he was working through. 

 

And yeah, like others said, sit him until he is healthy 100%. I don't see Cole as a hot/cold player where he needs to get back into the swing of the game. He is a technician who knows where the sticks are and where the holes in the zone are. I feel like you can plug him in and when he's healthy, he's on point.

 

I'd like to see plenty of Sanders, McKenzie, Kumerow, and Davis the next two weeks.

I'd remove Kumerow since that would be activating too (including Beasley, as a last resort) many WRs.
