Scouting report

GB WR Randall Cobb - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Randall Cobb caught nine of his 10 targets last week for 142 yards and a touchdown—an improbable 75-yard catch-and-run to put the Packers ahead late in the game. That means before the TD, Cobb had eight catches for 67 yards, which is more like his usage of the past few seasons. He's not going to put up that kind of yardage on a weekly basis. But his 10 targets were promising. He topped that total just twice in 2017. Expect a return to norm this week, though Cobb certainly showed he can be a factor. Use him as a WR3 in PPR leagues.

GB WR Randall Cobb - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Chicago Bears

Randall Cobb's days of being a must-start fantasy player are long behind him -- or at least have been. With Jordy Nelson gone, that could change. And he did produce seven catches for 96 yards and a touchdown against the Bears in two meetings last season. But he's not the high-volume player he was in the past. He's gotten 84 and 91 targets in the past two seasons. That may change somewhat this year, but he's not a gamebreaker and is largely TD dependent. He's a decent WR3 start.

GB WR Randall Cobb - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Randall Cobb is now Aaron Rodgers' most tenured receiver with Jordy Nelson out of the picture. And now that Nelson is gone, Cobb could see 100 targets again for the first time since 2015.

Fantasy Downside

Cobb hasn't been a huge fantasy factor the past two seasons since Davante Adams emerged as a secondary target. That might not change this season with Jimmy Graham now on board. It also seems that Cobb's 12-TD season in 2014 was an aberration. He has eight TDs in the past two seasons.

2018 Bottom Line

Cobb's current ADP has him going in rounds 8-10, which sounds about right. He's going to perform like a WR3 this season depending on the matchup, even with Rodgers throwing him the ball. Maybe he gets to 100 targets this season, but he's basically a poor man's Jarvis Landry at this point in his career. That's not a bad thing. He still has value. But he hasn't averaged more than 10.5 yards per catch in any of the past three seasons.

GB WR Randall Cobb - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Detroit Lions

Even with Davante Adams and Jordy Nelson out, Randall Cobb managed just 4 catches for 22 yards last week with Brett Hundley back under center. That will be the case again this week. But he's the most experienced receiver who will play this week, so there's that. He's worth a shot as a FLEX option or even a low-end WR3, but it's a gamble.

GB WR Randall Cobb - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Minnesota Vikings

Randall Cobb had 7 catches for 84 yards and a touchdown last week but that doesn't really matter since it came with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. It's back to Brett Hundley again this week and, outside of some flashes here and there, Cobb didn't offer much in terms of fantasy action as anything more than a FLEX play or low-end WR3 with Hundley at QB. That's where he's at again this week.

GB WR Randall Cobb - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Carolina Panthers

Randall Cobb has been erratic all season. He had 8 receptions for 39 yards last week. Aaron Rodgers returning should give him a bump up in possible value. But using him as anything more than a FLEX play or low-end WR3 is a gamble. Cobb just hasn't been consistent enough this season.

GB WR Randall Cobb - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Cleveland Browns

Randall Cobb not only didn't catch a pass last week, he didn't get a target. That's not what you want to hear heading into postseason play. He averaged just under 4 catches per game in Brett Hundley's previous four starts, so maybe he returns to the norm this week. But that's iffy. Cobb shouldn't be used as anything more than a FLEX play.
