BALLER MOVE: Add in Deep Leagues
OWNED IN: 10% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: While Will Fuller and Brandin Cooks will get all the shine in this receiving corps early on, I really, really like Randall Cobb. He'll be the primary slot option for the Texans, serving as the underneath safety valve for Deshaun Watson while the outside receivers operate deep down the field.

Don't be shocked if Cobb leads this team in targets, though it won't translate to huge yardage numbers like it would if Fuller led them in targets. No matter what, Cobb profiles as a potentially strong weekly PPR-flex option this year playing in Houston.
The season opener between the Texans and Kansas City has a projected over/under of 54.5 which means a shootout is expected. The Texans clearly plan to spread the ball around to multiple receivers and backs now that they've moved DeAndre Hopkins and added Randall Cobb and Brandin Cooks. Cobb was playable at times last year, posting 828 yards and five games over 70 yards. He's a low-end WR4 that can be flexed if necessary.
