Randall Cobb-WR-Green Bay Packers

Week 3 was a good one for the Packers’ offense as they got on track against the Lions. However, Randall Cobb got left out of the party and was actually one of the week’s biggest fantasy football busts despite Aaron Rodgers throwing four touchdowns.

Green Bay finished with 34 points, but Rodgers four touchdowns went to Jordy Nelson (2), Devante Adams, and Richard Rodgers. Cobb only had three targets and finished wth just one catch for 33 yards.

While the Packers piled up points, there weren’t a ton of yards to go around especially in the passing game. The Packers went run-heavy in the second half with such a big lead. Better days are probably ahead for Cobb, but he isn’t a WR2 any more given the current state of the Green Bay attack. I’d be ok starting him after the Week 4 bye week as a WR3, but he’s not nearly delivering on his draft position to this point in the season.
