Packers WR Randall Cobb (ankle) is a surprise inactive for today's game against the Vikings. He played through the issue last Sunday and put in 3 limited practices this week, but Green Bay might be opting to hold him out until he's back to 100%. Cobb's absence should mean a few extra targets for Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and possibly Jared Cook.

The forecast for today's Packers-Bears game calls for a temperature of 6 degrees with winds of 10-20 mph. The wind chill could sink as low as -13. That's cold. Expect more running than usual from both sides. We're still expecting Green Bay's passing game to be effective. WR Alshon Jeffery is the only piece of the Bears' passing game that should be in fantasy lineups.

Packers WR Randall Cobb limped off the field after a 2nd-quarter tackle in Sunday's game against the Seahawks and needed to have his right ankle checked. We'll keep an eye on his status the rest of the day and beyond.

Update: Cobb actually twisted both ankles, according to FOX, but jogged back out from the locker room in the middle of the 2nd quarter and returned to the field. He finished with 3 catches for 33 yards.

1-3 inches of snow is expected in Green Bay today, but winds will be at just 4-8 mph. Those aren't ideal conditions, but we're not expecting weather to have a major impact on the Seahawks or the Packers, who both have experience playing in crappy weather.

The forecast for today's Texans-Packers game calls for 1-3 inches of snow. Wind won't be a major factor, though, at just 5-10 mph. Green Bay's passing game is safe to keep in fantasy lineups. There's nothing safe about Houston's passing game, but that has nothing to do with the weather.

The forecast for tonight's Packers-Redskins game calls for 17-18 mph winds with gusts of 40+. That's certainly bad news for Ks Mason Crosby and Dustin Hopkins. We also made slight adjustments down to our projections for both passing games.

Packers HC Mike McCarthy said Friday that WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) is "healthy" and "ready for a full-time role." After missing Week 8, Cobb played just 23 snaps in last week's loss to the Colts. It sounds like he'll be back up over 75% of the snaps this Sunday, like he was before the hamstring issue. Cobb was just starting to get rolling at that point, with 27 catches, 256 yards and 2 TDs across Weeks 5 to 7.

Packers WR Randall Cobb avoided a setback with his troublesome hamstring in Sunday's loss to the Colts, HC Mike McCarthy said. Cobb didn't get on the field in the 1st half, then played 23 snaps and caught both of his targets for 14 yards in the 2nd. It sounds like he's on track to play a much bigger role in Week 10. We'll keep an eye on his practice participation this week.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Colts. It's a surprise after the reports this morning were all pessimistic. The hammy certainly adds risk to his fantasy profile, but Cobb has plenty of upside in what should be a shootout.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) is a "long shot" to play against the Colts today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. "Not quite ready yet," RapSheet adds. That leaves Jordy Nelson and Davante Adams as Green Bay's top 2 WRs. Ty Montgomery figures to take most of his snaps from the backfield, with Jeff Janis serving as the #3 WR.

Packers HC Mike McCarthy labeled WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) a game-time decision for Sunday's tilt with the Colts. He remained limited in practice all week. That game doesn't kick off until 4:25 pm ET, so hopefully we get an update on Sunday morning. If active, Cobb will be a risk/reward WR2 at less than 100% in a plus matchup.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Wednesday. He was limited all 3 days last week before missing the Falcons game, so this doesn't tell us much. We'll get another update on Cobb tomorrow.

Packers WRs Randall Cobb (hamstring) and Ty Montgomery (illness) are both inactive for today’s game against the Falcons. That leaves Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and Jeff Janis as Green Bay’s top 3 WRs.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hears that Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) won't play against the Falcons today. It's a surprise after he played through the hammy issue last week and put in 3 limited practices this week. Cobb has averaged 12.3 targets over his last 3 games, so his absence is significant. WR/RB Ty Montgomery might see even more action in the short passing game. WRs Jordy Nelson, Davante Adams and potentially Jeff Janis could also pick up some extra looks.

Packers WR Randall Cobb (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons. He played 90% of the snaps last week and put in 3 limited practices this week. We're expecting Cobb to play, but the 4:25 pm ET kickoff time complicates the situation. We'll look for an update on Cobb's status Sunday morning.

Packers WR Randall Cobb was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue and wasn't doing much in the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, per ESPN's Rob Demovsky. Cobb played 90% of the snaps in last Thursday night's game, so we're guessing he'll be available against the Falcons this weekend. But check back tomorrow for another update.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that Packers RB Eddie Lacy (ankle) will play against the Cowboys today. He'll be the team's only active RB. Randall Cobb will serve as the backup RB, per Rapoport. That gives Cobb's Week 6 profile a slight boost. But the big takeaway is that Green Bay is confident in Lacy's ankle. He's a strong RB2 vs. a Dallas defense allowing 4.8 yards per carry to RBs.

Packers WR Randall Cobb has been seeing "extensive duty as the third-down back," according to insider Bob McGinn. We've seen Green Bay use Cobb in the backfield before. He's carried 24 times over the past 2 seasons. Getting the ball in his hands more often is a good idea for the Packers and good news for his fantasy owners. Cobb's backfield role could also dent Eddie Lacy and James Starks' production.
