  • Undergoes ankle surgery

    Cobb recently underwent ankle surgery, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

    Analysis: The surgery was to "clean out the back of his ankle," according to Rapoport. The 32-year-old Cobb caught 34 passes for 417 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets across 13 games for the Packers last season. He's scheduled to be a free agent later this month. It's unclear at this point if Cobb plans to keep playing in 2023.

  • Fades during 2022 campaign

    Cobb was targeted 50 times and caught 34 passes for 417 yards and a touchdown over 13 appearances during the 2022 campaign.

    Analysis: Cobb drew more looks than he did in each of the previous two seasons, but due to an ankle injury and some younger receivers on the roster emerging, the 12-year veteran recorded only 25 targets and 168 yards after Week 5. Cobb could return to Green Bay if quarterback Aaron Rodgers does, but if Rodgers goes, Cobb likely will, too.

  • Catches two passes in Week 17

    Cobb was targeted twice and caught two passes for 20 yards in Sunday's 41-17 victory over the Vikings.

    Analysis: Cobb played nearly 50 percent of the snaps for the fourth time in five weeks, but he drew only two passes in his direction for a second straight game. Assuming the Packers have all their receivers available for next week's regular-season finale against the Lions, he figures to remain in a part-time role.

  • Records one reception in win

    Cobb was targeted twice and caught one pass for five yards in Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Dolphins. He also returned one punt for two yards.

    Analysis: Cobb was credited with a Week 16 start, but he played fewer than half the snaps for a fourth week in a row and saw only two passes thrown in his direction. He will have a plus matchup in Week 17 against a Vikings team that has allowed wideouts to rack up at least 243 yards four times over the last five weeks, but Cobb has totaled jut six receptions, 56 yards and a score over his last four appearances, so his prospects will not be particularly promising, even if Christian Watson -- who left…read more

  • Retains slot role in win

    Cobb caught three of four targets for 32 yards in Monday's 24-12 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Cobb maintained his slot role despite the return of Romeo Doubs (ankle), garnering four targets for the third consecutive game. Allen Lazard (one catch for seven yards) was the player who took the big hit in usage following the rookie wideout's return. Cobb still doesn't provide enough upside to warrant consideration in standard formats ahead of Sunday's tilt against Miami.

  • Shut out in Week 13

    Cobb was targeted four times but did not catch a pass in Sunday's 28-19 victory over the Bears. He also returned one punt for 15 yards in the game.

    Analysis: Cobb finished fourth among Packers skill players in targets and third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but he was held without a reception for the first time in nine appearances this season. He's had a few fantasy-friendly games this season, but it will be tough for him to have another, as not only will he be behind Christian Watson and Allen Lazard when the Packers return from their Week 14 bye, but likely Romeo Doubs (ankle) as well.

  • Records first 2022 touchdown

    Cobb was targeted four times and caught two passes for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-33 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Cobb did not do much in the receptions or receiving yards columns, but he did reach the end zone for the first time in eight 2022 appearances. He has finished third in snaps among Packers wideouts in two games since returning from a four-game absence, but he could slip further down the depth chart if Romeo Doubs (ankle) returns in Week 13, as Green Bay could maximize the rookie's snaps with the team's playoff hopes fading fast.

  • Shakes off illness

    Cobb (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game at Philadelphia.

    Analysis: For the third day in a row, Cobb's practice reps were capped while he continued to battle the ailment, but he must have shown enough progress as the week went along for the Packers to sign off on him playing Sunday. The fact that Cobb appeared on the Packers' Week 12 injury report with only the illness attached to his name is at least a sign that he avoided any setbacks with his right ankle in his return to action in the team's Week 11 loss to the Titans. The Packers didn't bother easing Cobb…read more

  • Another limited listing

    Cobb (illness) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.

    Analysis: Cobb's health concern is an ailment as opposed to an injury, which so far has capped his on-field reps during Week 12 prep. Assuming he's able to put the illness behind him for Sunday's road matchup with the Eagles -- be it on Friday's report or upon the release of inactives about 90 minutes before an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff -- he again will be an option at wide receiver for Aaron Rodgers.

  • Dealing with illness

    Cobb was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an illness.

    Analysis: After a recent stint on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, Cobb mixed back in to the Packers offense during last Thursday's loss to the Titans, gathering in all six targets for 73 yards. An illness is affecting his practice reps to kick off Week 12 prep, but he at least has two more opportunities to log a full session and clear himself ahead of Sunday's game in Philadelphia.

  • Paces pass catchers in return

    Cobb (ankle) brought in all six targets for 73 yards in the Packers' 27-17 loss to the Titans on Thursday night. He also recovered an Aaron Jones fumble.

    Analysis: The veteran WR was immediately productive in his return from a four-game absence, leading the Packers in receptions and receiving yards on the night in the process. Cobb's catch and yardage totals were his second highest of the season, and he'll look to build on the momentum he generated with Thursday's performance in a critical Week 12 road matchup against the Eagles a week from Sunday night.

  • Back from injured reserve

    The Packers activated Cobb (ankle) from injured reserve Thursday.

    Analysis: Cobb will miss the minimum four games on IR following the high right-ankle sprain that he suffered back in Week 6. He'll rejoin a Packers receiving corps that is down rookie Romeo Doubs due to his own high-ankle sprain, which will leave Allen Lazard, Christian Watson, Cobb and Sammy Watkins as the top four wideouts available to quarterback Aaron Rodgers. In six games this season, Cobb has gathered in 18 of 26 targets for 257 yards, but he's still in search of his first TD connection with…read more

  • Likely to be activated Week 11

    The Packers plan to activate Cobb (ankle) from injured reserve ahead of Thursday's game against the Titans, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Even though Cobb wasn't cleared to resume practicing until Tuesday, the Packers appear comfortable enough with what they saw from the veteran slot man is his workouts the past two days to clear him for his first game action since he suffered a right high-ankle sprain Week 6. Because he's missed the past month and only recently resumed practicing, Cobb could be eased back into the mix with a lighter snap count than usual, even while Green Bay remains without one if its top receivers in Romeo…read more

    The Packers designated Cobb (ankle) for return from injured reserve Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The transaction confirms that Cobb was cleared to participate in Green Bay's practice Tuesday, though the extent of his activity isn't known after he sat out each of the team's last four games with a right ankle sprain. According to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Cobb is being treated as day-to-day and could be an option to return to the 53-man roster to play in Week 11, even though Green Bay faces a quick turnaround for a…read more

  • Could play Thursday

    Per coach Matt LaFleur, Cobb (ankle) is considered day-to-day and could come off injured reserve before Thursday's game against the Titans, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Cobb was given a 2-to-6-week return timeline prior to being placed on injured reserve Oct. 22. If his recovery fell on the shorter end of that projection, then Cobb should indeed be healthy enough to suit up Thursday, though the team would first have to designate him to return from IR.

  • Placed on IR

    Cobb (ankle) has officially been placed on the Packers' injured reserve.

    Analysis: No surprise here, as Cobb was expected to be sidelined for 2-to-6 weeks with an ankle injury. He will be eligible to return in four weeks. Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is returning from injured reserve and is expected to see a healthy workload alongside Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs.

  • Expecting absence of 2-to-6 weeks

    Cobb (ankle) said Friday that he expects to miss 2-to-6 weeks, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cobb said it's the same injury he suffered in late 2016, noting that he scored three TDs in a playoff game against the Giants his first week back. Six years later, his reduced role in the Green Bay offense makes that sort of performance highly unlikely, though Cobb did see 13 targets Week 5 (against the Giants, coincidentally) after getting four or fewer in each of his first four games. He'll now miss multiple games, starting with a Week 7 contest in Washington. With Christian Watson…read more

  • Expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks

    Cobb was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after exiting Sunday's loss to the Jets and is expected to miss 2-to-4 weeks, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Though Cobb will end up missing time due to the ankle issue, the veteran wideout at least avoided a longer-term setback after he was carted off the field Sunday. Operating without Cobb for the foreseeable future could prove significant for Green Bay's struggling offense, which has Sammy Watkins (hamstring) on injured reserve and Christian Watson (hamstring) also working to get healthy. Juwann Winfree and Amari Rodgers become candidates for increased snaps behind Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs.

    Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said Monday that Cobb (ankle) is going to be out a while but added the veteran wideout avoided a serious injury, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: The extent of the situation remains unclear, but Silverstein suggests that Cobb likely will join fellow wideout Sammy Watkins on IR. Rookie second-round pick Christian Watson (hamstring) also continues to deal with injury, leaving Allen Lazard, Romeo Doubs, Juwann Winfree and Amari Rodgers as Aaron Rodgers' top wideouts.

  • May have high-ankle sprain

    Cobb likely suffered a high-ankle sprain during Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Jets, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Cobb departed the contest early in the third quarter, needing assistance from team trainers to reach the sideline and a cart to go to the locker room. He was unable to return, finishing with a season-low one target, which he turned into an eight-yard catch. A subsequent X-ray didn't reveal a fracture, but an MRI now has been ordered up to determine the severity of the injury. If Cobb indeed has a high-ankle sprain, he'll be poised for a multi-week absence.

  • Sustains ankle injury Sunday

    Cobb left Sunday's game against the Jets due to an ankle injury.

    Analysis: On the same play on which an Aaron Jones run was blown up early in the third quarter, Cobb needed assistance to get off the field. After going in the medical tent, he then was carted to the locker room. Officially questionable to return, Cobb will end Week 6 with one reception (on one target) for eight yards if he remains sidelined.

  • Turns in vintage performance

    Cobb recorded seven receptions on 13 targets for 99 yards in Sunday's 27-22 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Cobb led the team in targets, receptions and yards by a sizeable margin. His performance was highlighted by a few big gains of 35 and 20 yards, but he was also regularly a checkdown option for Aaron Rodgers. Cobb entered the game having failed to record more than three receptions in a game, so this performance appears to be an outlier.

  • Tallies three receptions

    Cobb was targeted four times and caught three passes for 42 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime victory over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Cobb finished a distant third among Packers receivers with 25 snaps, but he made a couple plays in key spots and recorded a reception of at least 20 yards for the third straight week. Barring an injury to Allen Lazard or Romeo Doubs, Cobb's role is unlikely to change much, but given his connection with quarterback Aaron Rodgers he's going to continue spending a fair amount of time on the field.

    Cobb caught both his targets for 57 yards in Sunday's victory over the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: The veteran slot receiver made a couple plays -- including turning a short pass into a 40-yard gain -- in the first half of Sunday's contest, but like the rest of the Packers' offense he was held in check after halftime. Cobb dealt with an illness during the week and played just 25 snaps, which placed him a distant third behind fellow wideouts Allen Lazard and Romeo Doubs. A full week of practice could allow Cobb to get more involved, but at least for fantasy purposes, he heads into Week 4…read more

    Cobb (illness) is active for Sunday's contest in Tampa Bay, Mike Spofford of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cobb was absent from practice during Week 3 prep with an illness, but he's well enough as of game day to be available to the Packers offense. He's in line for a significant snap count alongside Allen Lazard and rookie fourth-round pick Romeo Doubs because Sammy Watkins (hamstring) landed on IR on Saturday and Christian Watson (hamstring) is inactive Sunday. Cobb has gathered in five of six targets for 51 yards through two games.

    Cobb (illness) is expected to play versus the Buccaneers on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Cobb's presence in Tampa Bay would be notable for Green Bay's offense, as rookie Christian Watson (hamstring) is not expected to play and Sammy Watkins (hamstring) was placed on IR on Saturday. The veteran's official status will be revealed prior to Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, but if Cobb does suit up, he could be in line for expanded opportunities.

    Cobb (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest at Tampa Bay, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cobb hasn't been able to practice this week due to an illness, but he at least has a chance to suit up Sunday, which can't be said for Sammy Watkins (hamstring), who was ruled out. Meanwhile, Allen Lazard (ankle) has been cleared to play, and Christian Watson (hamstring) is questionable like Cobb. If one or both of Cobb and Watson are limited or sidelined this weekend, Romeo Doubs would be in line for additional work alongside Lazard.

  • Misses third consecutive practice

    Cobb (illness) remained sidelined at Friday's practice, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Cobb missed all three of Green Bay's practices in preparation for Sunday's matchup with Tampa Bay. The veteran slot receiver knows the playbook inside and out, so the lack of practice reps wouldn't necessarily be a major hindrance, but it's hard to feel confident about Cobb's chances of suiting up at this point.

  • Another DNP on Thursday

    Cobb (illness) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

    Analysis: Cobb hasn't been present during Week 3 prep due to an illness, but he at least has one more chance to get on the field Friday, at which point the Packers may provide some clarity on the health of the team's receiving corps ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. All of Allen Lazard (ankle), Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) are tending to injuries this week.

  • Comes down with illness

    Cobb didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

    Analysis: It's unclear if Cobb's absence is related to COVID-19, but if so, he may be in danger of sitting out a key Week 3 road matchup with the Buccaneers. Meanwhile, all of Allen Lazard (ankle), Sammy Watkins (hamstring) and Christian Watson (hamstring) were limited participants Wednesday, so the Packers' receiving corps is in danger of being compromised this weekend.

  • Snap count cut in half

    Cobb was targeted three times and caught three passes for 37 yards in Sunday's victory over the Bears.

    Analysis: Cobb caught a couple short passes just like he did in the Packers' season-opening loss to the Vikings, but he also had a 20-yard reception late in the second quarter, which led to a touchdown that gave the Packers a three-score halftime lead. While Cobb's output increased slightly, his snap count percentage was cut in half, from 60.7 to 30.3 percent -- perhaps due to the big halftime lead and the lack of a need to air it out. Cobb will be out there in pivotal situations, but with Allen Lazard…read more

  • Not slated to play Thursday

    Cobb isn't in line to play in Thursday's preseason contest at Kansas City, Mike Spofford and Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site report.

    Analysis: Cobb will be joined on the sidelines by fellow wide receivers Allen Lazard, Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson (knee), meaning Green Bay's top options at the position won't see game action until the team's season opener Sunday, Sept. 11 in Minnesota.

  • Participates in 11-on-11 drills

    Cobb (foot) practiced during the Packers' first-team session Monday, Mike Spofford of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Cobb has been dealing with a foot injury that kept him sidelined for Green Bay's first two preseason games, though it's unlikely that he would have played even if healthy during those exhibitions. The 32-year-old slot receiver caught 28 of his 39 targets for 375 yards and five touchdowns before missing the Packers' final five regular-season games due to a groin injury last year. Cobb's familiarity with quarterback Aaron Rodgers once again should afford him a moderate target share on many…read more

    Cobb missed Wednesday's practice with a foot injury, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The Packers won't rush Cobb back into action and wouldn't have played him in Friday's preseason opener against Cincinnati even if he were healthy. He's back as Aaron Rodgers' slot receiver this season, though perhaps with some snap competition from 2021 third-round pick Amari Rodgers, who reportedly lost more than 10 pounds to become quicker after a no-show rookie season.

  • 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.

    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. The veteran wideout, whom the Packers traded a sixth-round pick to the Texans to acquire, suffered the injury in the team's Week 12 win…read more

  • 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. He had a pretty significant injury." Cobb seems poised to land on injured reserve in due time, but the team may wait to make the transaction official until he's well into his…read more

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    Analysis: Cobb sat out Monday's session due to illness but is apparently feeling better, and he'll at least work as a limited participant Tuesday. According to David Helman of the Cowboys' official site, coach Jason Garrett also indicated the ailment shouldn't impact the veteran wideout's availability for Thursday's matchup with the Bears.

    Cobb (illness) didn't participate in Monday's practice, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

  • 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). Next week's opponent, the Detroit Lions, rank at the bottom of the league both…read more

    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.
