Week 5 – Jerricho Cotchery vs. Chicago
Jerricho Cotchery is kind of picking up where he left off in Pittsburgh. He was targeted seven times last week against the Ravens, catching five balls for 80 yards. He’s not likely to put up big numbers in a given week, but his status as the WR2 in Carolina shouldn’t be challenged much after a nice performance coming back from injury.
Against the Bears this week, Cotchery has some upside, as Chicago has been horrible defensively so far this season and was just torched by the Green Bay passing game. Cotchery is past the days when he put up big numbers or consistent WR2 numbers even, but there’s something to be said for a steady veteran who gets looks. Expect another 40-60 yard outing with limited upside. He’s probably no better than an end of the bench guy, but he’ll get you a few points if you’re desperate.
