WR Randall Cobb tweeted that he's been traded to the Packers, and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms that the deal will be done once Green Bay gains cap space to make room. Cobb spent his first 8 seasons with QB Aaron Rodgers and the Packers, finishing as a top 30 fantasy WR 3 times (2012, 2014 and 2015). He posted a 55-828-3 line and WR42 PPR finish with the Cowboys in 2019. Then in Houston last year, Cobb tallied 38 catches, 441 yards and 3 scores in 10 games. He finished 60th in PPR points per game. But Cobb ranked a respectable 26th in yards per target, 52nd in yards per route run and 50th in Pro Football Focus receiving grade among 99 WRs with 40+ targets. Rodgers clearly had a big say in this move -- and we'd expect him to make sure Cobb is the starting slot receiver this season. That'll leave Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Allen Lazard and rookie Amari Rodgers fighting for the last spot in 3-WR sets. In Houston, meanwhile, Cobb's departure frees up the starting slot job. Consider newly acquired WR Anthony Miller the favorite to win that.
The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt believes WR Randall Cobb will "likely start in Week 1." The scenario would have Cobb in the slot between Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard -- and leave Mecole Hardman as the No. 4 WR. We'd still rather take a shot on Hardman than Cobb at the end of fantasy drafts, but neither guy is an appealing pick.
Jets WR Randall Cobb (ankle) has been placed on the active/PUP list. He's working his way back from offseason ankle surgery. Despite his long history with QB Aaron Rodgers, Cobb is a long shot to be a 2023 fantasy factor.
In a move that should surprise absolutely no one, the Jets have agreed to a one-year deal with WR Randall Cobb. The Aaron Rodgers teddy bear averaged just 3.6 targets per game with Green Bay over the past two seasons, after returning from exile ... er, Houston. Cobb has reached 40 receptions just once in the past five seasons. He's not a fantasy factor heading into his age-33 campaign. We'll see, though, how much he disrupts the playing time of younger teammates. Even while missing four games last year, Cobb still ranked fourth among Packers WRs in snap share.
Packers WR Randall Cobb (ankle) is officially active for tonight's game vs. the Titans. We're expecting him to step back in as Green Bay's primary slot receiver, but Cobb would be a weak fantasy play. He topped 3 catches in just 1 of 5 games to open the season.
Packers WR Randall Cobb (ankle) is expected to be activated and play vs. the Titans tonight, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cobb has been out since suffering a high-ankle sprain back in Week 6. He operated as Green Bay's primary slot receiver over the first 5 games of the season but had just 1 useful fantasy outing. Cobb can be left on waiver wires.
