BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 6% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Rand the Man had me excited when Green Bay announced his acquisition to reunite him and QB Aaron Rodgers in Packer-territory. Only then Randall Cobb arrived in Wisconsin and was an afterthought even before playing his first snap. Ugh. The snaps were ultra-low in the first three weeks as Cobb never topped a 32% snap share in any of those games. He only saw five combined targets in that span, and things were looking pretty murky... until Pittsburgh came to town and brought hope for Cobb and his truthers ROS.
Cobb, for the first time this year, is coming off a game in which he almost played half of the offensive snaps--he finished with 33 snaps for a 46% snap share. That was great to see, and that will stay the same for at least a couple of weeks until Marquez Valdes-Scantling is eligible to return from IR. Obviously, we can dream about Cobb putting up performances such as this Sunday's 6-5-69 with 2 receiving TDs, but odds are those won't come weekly. Even then, though, Cobb would have still been good for 11+ PPR points without scoring any touchdown yesterday.
While not a viable starter for those in shallower leagues, Cobb's role has flipped and is now that of a WR3 (at least) with MVS out. He will see 5+ targets for the next two weeks, has a chance to solidify himself in the receiving corps if he performs to his Week 4 level of play, and he has a past with Aaron Rodgers. The top-6 finish this weekend is probably the ceiling (23.9 PPR points), but Cobb is a well-known and proved veteran capable of putting up such games multiple times throughout the year. Don't get too crazy chasing Cobb, but definitely roster him and start him for the next few games.
