Reduces cap hit for 2022
The Packers and Cobb agreed to a restructure of his contract Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
Analysis: The status of Cobb likely was tied to Aaron Rodgers' decision, and once the latter opted to return to Green Bay and signed an extension, some maneuvering was required to get the Packers below the salary cap. According to Silverstein, Cobb's salary has been reduced from $8.5 million to $3 million for the upcoming season. Now that he's sticking in Green Bay for a 10th campaign, Cobb will look to build upon the 28-375-5 line he put together on 39 targets across 12 games in 2021.

Effective in injury-shortened season
Cobb was targeted 39 times and caught 28 passes for 375 yards and five touchdowns over 12 appearances in the 2021 season.
Analysis: Cobb rejoined the Packers in July after spending two seasons elsewhere, and he filled a rotational yet key role over the first 12 weeks of the campaign, finding the end zone more often than he did in any of the previous five seasons and averaging a respectable 13.4 yards per reception. However, a groin injury cost him the final six weeks of the regular season, and he was targeted only once in the Packers' divisional-round loss to the 49ers. He could stay with the Packers if quarterback Aaron…read more

Comes off injured reserve
The Packers activated Cobb (groin) from injured reserve Thursday.
Analysis: Cobb underwent core muscle surgery during the Packers' Week 13 bye and missed the rest of the regular season. With the benefit of a first-round bye in the playoffs, his time away from the field will end at five games as he prepares for a return for Saturday's divisional-round matchup with the 49ers. Green Bay has listed Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) as doubtful to play this weekend, so Cobb should jump back into three-wide sets with Davante Adams and Allen Lazard.

Gets green light for Saturday
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Wednesday that Cobb (groin) will be available for Saturday's divisional-round game against the 49ers, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cobb had surgery in early December and missed the final five weeks of the regular season, but he was a capable performer in a supporting role prior to suffering the injury, catching 28 of 39 targets for 375 yards and five touchdowns in 12 games. After opening the season as Green Bay's No. 4 receiver, he moved into something resembling a rotation with Marquez Valdes-Scantling (back) and Allen Lazard, all of whom played behind clear No. 1 option Davante Adams. It's hard to say how snaps will be…read more

Remains out for Week 18
Cobb (groin) will not play Sunday against the Lions, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Packers designated Cobb to return from injured reserve in late December, but he did not play in the team's Week 17 win over the Vikings and will not play this week, either, as head coach Matt LaFleur believes two more weeks of rest are in Cobb's best interest. Barring any setbacks, expect Cobb to be back on the field for the Packers' divisional-round game Jan. 22 or Jan. 23.

Not ready to return this week
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Cobb (groin) is "a little ways away from returning," implying that the wide receiver won't be activated from injured reserve in advance of Sunday's game against the Vikings, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: That being said, Cobb has made good progress in his recovery from the core-muscle surgery he underwent in the first week of December, as was made clear by the Packers' decision Thursday to clear him to resume practicing. Cobb looks like he'll need more practice time to prove he's back to 100 percent, but it's not out of the question for him to be added back to the 53-man roster ahead of the Jan. 9 regular-season finale versus the 2-12-1 Lions. If they can beat Minnesota this weekend, however,…read more

Designated for return
Cobb (core) returned to practice Thursday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The Packers thus have designated Cobb for return from injured reserve. The 11th-year wide receiver underwent core muscle surgery during the Packers' Week 13 bye, missing the past three games. He now has a 21-day window in which to prove his health, but it remains to be seen if he'll be able to do enough to return to the active roster in time for Sunday's game against the Vikings.

Placed on injured reserve
Cobb (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: This was the next logical step for the Packers after Cobb underwent core muscle surgery last week that is expected to keep him out for a significant amount of time. This move will force Cobb to miss at least the next three weeks, at which point he will be able to return to practice for a 21-day window before the team must activate him back to the 53-man roster.

Recovering from core muscle surgery
Cobb underwent core muscle surgery last week with the hope he'll recover in time for the postseason, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cobb exited the Packers' last game Week 12 against the Rams with what was termed a groin issue. With the benefit of a bye, the Packers weren't required to disclose any details of the injury until this week, but coach Matt LaFleur touched on Cobb on Thursday, stating the veteran wide receiver "is going to be out for awhile.

Slated to miss time
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Thursday that Cobb is "going to be out for a while" due to the core muscle injury he sustained in Green Bay's Week 12 win over the Rams, Ryan Wood of the Green Bay Press-Gazette reports.
Analysis: Even with the benefit of a Week 13 bye, Cobb doesn't seem to have made much progress in his recovery from what LaFleur termed as a "pretty significant" injury. Cobb hasn't resumed practicing and looks like he can safely be ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bears, and his status beyond Week 14 looks murky as well. However long Cobb is sidelined, more reps should be available for Allen Lazard and Marquez Valdes-Scantling alongside No. 1 wideout Davante Adams.

Not practicing
Cobb (core) isn't practicing Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Cobb's absence from practice following the Packers' bye week isn't a promising sign after he injured his groin in a Week 12 win over the Rams. He caught four passes for 95 yards and a touchdown in the first half of that contest, while his absence in the second half left more snaps available for Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Allen Lazard.

Ruled out with injury
Cobb suffered a groin injury in the first half of Sunday's game against the Rams and has been ruled out for the remainder of the game, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Limited opportunities in loss
Cobb was targeted twice and caught one pass for 15 yards in Sunday's 34-31 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Cobb moved up a notch in the pecking order for Week 11 with fellow wideout Allen Lazard (shoulder) sidelined, and he was on the field for a season-high 76 percent of the plays run by the Packers offense. However, Cobb's opportunities to contribute were minimal, as he drew just two of the Packers' 31 targets on the day. Cobb played at least 62.3 percent of the snaps in four of the Packers' five games and scored twice -- with both coming in the same game -- during that span, but he also averaged…read more

Catches three passes
Cobb caught three passes for 21 yards on four targets against Seattle on Sunday.
Analysis: Cobb's four targets tied Allen Lazard and outpaced Marquez Valdes-Scantling (two), while each of the trio was far behind WR1 Davante Adams (11). Cobb is dependent on slot snaps and, particularly with Valdes-Scantling back from injury, that leaves Cobb in contention with Lazard for snaps. There's a spot for each of Cobb, Lazard and Valdes-Scantling in the Green Bay offense, but for fantasy investors it's more difficult to make room in the starting lineup for a secondary receiver like Cobb.

Leads team in receiving yards
Cobb caught three passes for 50 yards on five targets against Kansas City on Sunday.
Analysis: Cobb's box score was mostly propelled by a 35-yard reception on a somewhat improvised throw from Jordan Love, which marked the longest play of the day for the Packers offense. It was encouraging to see Cobb show that in-play adjustment ability much like he does with starter Aaron Rodgers (COVID-19), yet the five targets on 34 pass attempts is a reminder that Cobb's role is that of a glue guy rather than a featured component of the Green Bay offense. It's not clear whether the Packers will get…read more

Pair of scoring grabs in win
Cobb brought in three of five targets for 15 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 24-21 win over the Cardinals on Thursday.
Analysis: The veteran slot man was filling the role of de facto No. 1 receiver for Aaron Rodgers on Thursday, and although he couldn't do much in the yardage department, he delivered for fantasy managers with touchdown grabs of two and six yards in the second half. Cobb hadn't been in the end zone since Week 4, when he'd recorded his first two scores of the campaign versus the Steelers. Cobb now has back-to-back three-catch efforts, but his role could diminish in a Week 9 road battle against the Chiefs a…read more

May be Rodgers' top target Week 8
Cobb could operate as quarterback Aaron Rodgers' primary target in Thursday's game against the Cardinals, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Davante Adams has accounted for a whopping 33.2 percent of the Packers' targets this season, placing him well ahead of Marquez Valdes-Scantling (17.6 percent) and Allen Lazard (11.6 percent) for second and fourth place on the team, respectively. Green Bay could be in danger of missing all three players Thursday, however. After testing positive for COVID-19 on Monday, Adams -- who is vaccinated -- appears unlikely to clear all protocols ahead of the game's 8:20 p.m. kickoff, while Lazard was…read more

Catches three passes
Cobb was targeted four times and caught three passes for 22 yards in Sunday's 24-10 victory over Washington.
Analysis: Cobb got back on the board after being held without a catch Week 6, but he didn't do a whole lot for those who included him in their fantasy lineups. He did reward those that started him Week 4, but outside of that contest he's racked up just nine catches for 110 yards -- and no scores -- over six games.

Shut out in Week 6
Cobb was not targeted in Sunday's 24-14 victory over the Bears.
Analysis: Cobb was on the field for 23 plays in Week 6, but he did not see even one pass directed his way. He has worked as the Packers' No. 3 wideout since Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) landed on injured reserve, and that has resulted in one big game in Week 4 and two quiet appearances since. If Valdes-Scantling remains out for Week 7, Cobb could get involved again, as the Packers will take on a Washington defense that has allowed wide receivers to rack up 420 yards from scrimmage and five…read more

Just two grabs
Cobb caught two of three targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 25-22 overtime win against the Bengals.
Analysis: Cobb made a couple of 15-yard receptions, including a key gain to set up Green Bay's elusive game-winning field goal. While his overall production paled in comparison to Week 4's two-touchdown outburst, Cobb still helped the Packers to another victory. With usual starter Marquez Valdes-Scantling (hamstring) set to be sidelined for at least one more game, Cobb will hope to make his presence felt with more volume in Week 6 versus the division-rival Bears.

Finds end zone twice in win
Cobb brought in five of six targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in the Packers' 27-17 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Cobb fittingly truly emerged for the first time in his Packers reunion in a week during which Aaron Rodgers had a chance to tie Dan Marino for sixth all-time in touchdown passes. Cobb not only led Green Bay in receiving yards on the afternoon, he was also on the receiving end of both of Rodgers' touchdown tosses, including the record-tying throw from one yard out in the late stages of the third quarter.

Held without reception
Cobb was targeted once but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 30-28 victory over the 49ers.
Analysis: Cobb racked up four receptions, 58 receiving yards and one yard on the ground over the Packers' first two games, but he could not add to that tally in Week 3. He did play a season-high 21 snaps Week 3, and he'll likely be the primary beneficiary should the hamstring injury fellow pass catcher Marquez Valdes-Scantling picked up Sunday limit him or keep him off the field in the Packers' Week 4 matchup with the Steelers.

Comes up with three catches
Cobb was targeted three times and caught three passes for 26 yards in Monday's 35-17 victory over the Lions.
Analysis: Cobb did not do much for fantasy GMs Monday night, but he was at least more involved after catching one pass in Week 1, and that from backup Jordan Love. Cobb has a history with starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but he has not had many chances to make an impact early on, playing fewer than 25 percent of the offensive snaps through two games.

Limited role in opener
Cobb caught the lone pass thrown his direction and tallied one reception for 32 yards in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: Cobb was reacquired by the Packers over the offseason to give quarterback Aaron Rodgers another trusty option in the passing game, but Rodgers did not throw even one pass his way Week 1, and the former did not get on the board until backup Jordan Love entered the game. The 15 snaps Cobb played Sunday tied him with Amari Rodgers and Malik Taylor for fourth among the Packers' six wideouts, but they were far fewer than 36 racked up by the receiver who finished third, Marquez Valdes-Scantling.

Cobb will not play in Saturday's preseason opener against the Texans, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Cobb could have played Saturday if the Packers wanted to get him some live reps in head coach Matt LaFleur's system, but it was decided that was not worth the risk of an injury. Cobb and starting quarterback Aaron Rodgers spent eight seasons together earlier in their careers, so don't expect chemistry to be an issue between the two.

Headed to Pack for sixth-rounder

Analysis: The report notes that Houston is expected to pay $3 million of Cobb's salary in order to facilitate the trade, which should become official within a few days. Cobb, who turns 31 next month, is coming off a 2020 season in which he caught 38 passes on 48 targets for 441 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games with the Texans.

The Packers are working on a trade to acquire Cobb from the Texans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Cobb turns 31 in August and has a guaranteed $8.25 million base salary this season, so any trade likely will involve a pay cut or some other form of contract renegotiation. If the Packers do in fact trade for Cobb, he'll presumably get most of the slot reps in three-wide formations, dampening the fantasy outlook for all of Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Amari Rodgers.

The receiver awaits a doctor's recommendation, due next week, about whether Cobb should undergo surgery, regarding whether he should undergo surgery and not play again this season, or rehabilitate the toe and attempt to play.

Analysis: One game after leading the Texans in targets, Cobb was tied for fifth with Darren Fells in chances Sunday.

Analysis: Cobb looks like he'll be good to go for Sunday's game at Jacksonville after the illness sidelined him during Wednesday's practice. The 30-year-old was one of several Houston receivers whose named popped up in trade rumors prior to Tuesday's deadline, but the team's wideout corps ultimately remained intact. So long as he stays healthy, expect Cobb to operate as the Texans' top option out of the slot for the remainder of the season.

The effort marked his first time reaching double-digit targets in any game this season and the second time he topped 60 yards. Cobb's performance was highlighted by a 28-yard reception late in the second quarter that set up a 41-yard field goal attempt for the team. Despite working primarily out of the slot, Cobb now has five receptions of 20 yards…read more

Scores second TD
Cobb caught three of four targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-36 overtime loss to Tennessee.
Analysis: Cobb remains active, ranking third on the team with 28 targets behind Brandin Cooks (42) and Will Fuller (41) through six games. Cobb's outlook was brighter a few weeks ago when Cooks and quarterback Deshaun Watson were still trying to establish chemistry, but those two have hooked up 17 times on 21 targets the last two weeks. However, Watson has chucked the ball 34 times per game (61 percent of the offensive plays), which is enough to accommodate more than two wideouts as viable fantasy…read more

Six targets in win
Cobb caught all six of his targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: After a quiet Texans debut, Cobb has averaged a little over five targets the last four weeks. While Houston's offense has been out of sorts to start the season, Cobb has managed steady production out of the slot. He's played third fiddle to Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks, who had a big day Sunday, but is averaging a respectable 52 yards per game.

Five targets in loss
Cobb caught two of five targets for 36 yards in Sunday's 31-23 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Cobb finished second in targets behind Will Fuller in an offense that still hasn't found a groove in 2020. After a quiet opening week, Cobb is averaging five targets and 63 yards per game over the last three contests.

Paces Texans in receiving yards
Cobb caught all four targets for 95 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: Cobb led the Texans in receiving yards and showed an impressive ability to run after the catch with a 28-yard TD in the first quarter. While QB Deshaun Watson spread the ball around to eight different pass catchers, Cobb was targeted four times -- just one shy of a team-high figure. Cobb is behind Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks in the pecking order, but he has value in deeper fantasy leagues and should be an option in Week 4 against the Vikings, which have allowed 299.3 passing yards per game…read more

Five receptions in Week 2
Cobb caught five of six targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 33-16 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: With Will Fuller missing time in the first half due to a hamstring injury and inexplicably not being thrown to upon his return, Cobb and fellow newcomer Brandin Cooks (eight targets, five catches) led the wide receiver corps in the loss. It was a good sign that quarterback Deshaun Watson has developed some chemistry with his new targets, but that usage could be contingent upon Fuller's health.

Pair of grabs in team debut
Cobb brought in two of three targets for 23 yards in the Texans' 34-20 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday.
Analysis: The veteran slot receiver's role in the offense was talked up by coach Bill O'Brien during training camp, but Cobb was missing in action for the majority of his Texans debut. The 30-year-old finally recorded his two catches in the fourth quarter, making it a relatively quiet night overall. The lack of the usual amount of on-field work this offseason likely didn't help matters for Cobb with respect to building chemistry with new quarterback Deshaun Watson, but he'll look to put together better…read more

Primary slot receiver
Cobb is expected to provide an inside presence out of the slot for the Texans, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Cobb was expected to serve as the primary slot receiver for quarterback Deshaun Watson after he was signed as a free agent, and that notion was reinforced with Keke Coutee nursing a foot injury. The 10-year veteran gives the Texans a dependable slot receiver that's been missing in the era of head coach Bill O'Brien. "With Randall (and) the amount of experience he has playing in this league, he's able to identify all the defenses," offensive coordinator Tim Kelly said of Cobb. "He understands…read more

Part of four-deep WR group
Cobb is part of a deep receiving corps that now includes Brandin Cooks, in addition to holdovers Will Fuller (sports hernia) and Kenny Stills, ESPN.com's Sarah Barshop reports.
Analysis: Bill O'Brien seems to have completed an offseason remake that started with the trade sending out DeAndre Hopkins and a 2020 fourth-round pick in exchange for David Johnson, a 2020 second-rounder and a 2021 fourth-rounder. Cobb signed with Houston shortly after the trade was agreed upon, parlaying his rebound 2019 campaign with the Cowboys into a three-year, $27 million contract with their in-state rivals. The deal should ensure Cobb of a sizable role, but Stills also has considerable experience…read more

Credits improved hamstring strength
Cobb, who recently agreed to sign with the Texans, said he felt better in 2019 than he had in previous seasons, getting good results after he strengthened his hamstrings, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Cobb claims the Cowboys training staff identified his weak hamstrings as a potential limiting factor and worked with him to strengthen the muscles during the offseason. He went on to produce his most receiving yards (828) since 2015 and his best mark for yards per target (10.0) since 2014, despite being charged with eight drops. Cobb averaged 9.1 yards before the catch on his 55 receptions, compared to 3.9 in his final season with the Packers. He's proven himself a bit more dynamic than the…read more

Inking deal with Houston
Cobb agreed to terms on a three-year, $27 million contract with the Texans on Monday, James Jones of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: There was reportedly interest in the 29-year-old returning to Dallas for the 2020 campaign, but he'll instead end up heading to Houston. The Texans shipped DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals earlier in the day, so Cobb will partially fill that significant void for quarterback Deshaun Watson. Cobb caught 55 of 83 targets for 828 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games last season, posting the best YPC (15.1) of his nine-year career.

Could re-sign in Dallas
First-year Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said he's hopeful that Dallas re-signs Cobb during the offseason, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Cobb previously played under McCarthy in Green Bay from 2011 through 2018, with the 29-year-old turning in the best season of his career (91 catches for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2014) during that stretch. The wideout hauled in 55 passes for 828 yards and three touchdowns in his first yaer in Dallas in 2019 while playing on a one-year, $5 million contract. Coming to terms with fellow impending free-agent wideout Amari Cooper will no doubt rank as a higher priority for the Cowboys, but…read more

Reuniting with Mike McCarthy?
Cobb is more likely to re-sign with Dallas after the hiring of head coach Mike McCarthy, who previously worked with the slot receiver in Green Bay, ESPN.com's Todd Archer reports.
Analysis: Cobb played 2019 on a one-year, $5 million contract, hauling in 66.3 percent of his targets for a career-high 15.1 yards per catch, with 55.2 receiving yards per game representing his best mark since 2014. He left no doubt about his ability to get open and pick up yards after the catch (6.0 YAC average), but his eight drops were tied for sixth most in the league. Now preparing for his age-30 season, Cobb likely has interest in re-signing with the Cowboys and thus reuniting with McCarthy, but…read more

Solid first season in Dallas
Cobb wrapped up the 2019 season with 55 catches on 83 targets for 828 yards and three touchdowns over 15 games.
Analysis: In his first season outside of Green Bay, Cobb operated as the Cowboys' No. 3 receiver for much of the year and produced his highest yardage total since 2015, as well as 10.0 yards per target -- his best mark in that category since 2014. The 29-year-old is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and would probably be welcomed back in Dallas at the right price given his reliability out of the slot, but the team has bigger priorities ahead of him in Dak Prescott and Amari Cooper when it comes…read more

Five catches in Sunday's loss
Cobb caught five of seven targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 17-9 loss to the Eagles.
Analysis: It was a solid effort from the veteran slot receiver, as he tied Michael Gallup for the team lead in catches among WRs. Cobb's 747 receiving yards on the year mark his highest total since 2015, and he'll look to make one last impact in Week 17's must-win game against Washington.

Held to negative yards Sunday
Cobb caught one of two targets for minus-3 yards in Sunday's 44-21 win over the Rams.
Analysis: The Cowboys leaned heavily on their running game, as Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard each ran for over 100 yards and combined for three TDs, so there wasn't a whole lot of production left over for the team's wide receivers. Even so, Cobb's efforts were notably poor, and his two targets were a season low. He'll try to bounce back Week 16 against the Eagles, but he may not have much more success. Philly held him to two catches for 29 yards in their prior meeting this year.

Set to go Thursday
Cobb (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation for Thursday's game at Chicago, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Cobb's practice reps were impacted by an illness this week, but he nonetheless increased his workload by the day, culminating in full participation at Wednesday's walk-through session. Consequently, he's poised to suit up Thursday against a Bears defense that has given up 7.5 yards per target and seven touchdowns to wide receivers in 12 contests this season.

Cobb (illness) practiced in a limited capacity Tuesday, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: With that, Cobb -- who caught all three of his targets for 53 yards in last week's loss to the Bills - figures to be a go Thursday night against the Bears, though we'll have to see if he heads into the contest listed as questionable, or without a Week 14 injury designation altogether.

Leading receiver against Pats
Cobb caught four of seven targets for 86 yards in Sunday's 13-9 loss to the Patriots.
Analysis: The yards and targets led the Cowboys, but Cobb's efforts weren't enough to get the team into the end zone as the offense failed to score a TD for the first time all season. The veteran receiver is enjoying his best stretch of the year, hauling in 14 of 22 targets for 307 yards and two touchdowns over the last three games, but Cobb could have a tough time keeping his momentum going in the Thanksgiving home date against the Bills.

Scores for second straight week
Cobb caught four of seven targets for 115 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 35-27 win over the Lions.
Analysis: The majority of Cobb's production came on the final drive of the first half, to which he contributed a 49-yard reception that he followed with a 19-yard touchdown grab. He made another couple of big plays as he delivered his second consecutive 100-yard game with a score, and he could continue to thrive as long as Amari Cooper (knee/ankle) is limited by injuries. Given the health of his aforementioned teammate, Cobb seems poised to see his fair share of opportunities again next Sunday against…read more

Best game of season
Cobb caught six passes on eight targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Dak Prescott had to air it out for 397 yards on a night where Ezekiel Elliott got shut down (20 carries for 47 yards). The altered gameplan allowed Cobb to get heavily involved and break the century mark for the first time this season. Dallas' slot man has now received eight targets in consecutive weeks, although the eight this week ranked third among Cowboys wideouts behind Amari Cooper (14) and Michael Gallup (10).

Cobb caught six of eight targets for 35 yards in Monday's win over the Giants.
Analysis: He could have had an even bigger night from a fantasy perspective, but Cobb had what would have been his second TD of the season wiped out by a holding penalty. The veteran slot receiver has caught a modest 25 passes on 38 targets for 274 yards through seven games.
