Randall Cobb (WR, GB) - Fantasy Football Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 36% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: Of course, and before we get started, you need to understand why Randall Cobb played his way to a WR17-overall and WR2-realm finish last Thursday: both Allen Lazard and Davante Adams missed TNF and TE Robert Tonyan was injured while at it. Now, that being said, we know about the long-time rapport between Aaron Rodgers and Randall Cobb, and for those in slightly deeper formats, Cobb still holds value given he's a virtual lock to keep getting 3+ targets per game.

Cobb's Week 8 performance was absolutely bonkers. Cobb has a better game this season (Week 4 with 23.9 PPR points) but the 5-3-15-2 line from last Thursday is one of the most efficient ones we've seen this season. Cobb got targeted when and where he needed to, scored a couple of touchdowns (it seems he only knows how to score TDs in pairs, as he also did in W4), and his 3-of-5 receptions were more than enough to have him as a top-end WR2 on the week.

Once Lazard and Adams come back (along with Marquez Valdes-Scantling on top of that), things might get a bit crowded for Cobb to perform to the best of extents. Obviously, if he keeps getting some sky-high value looks that allow him to unlock efficient lines like that from last week, he'll be a must-have player. Odds are that type of performance doesn't really repeat itself weekly, but the upside is there and the flier is worth taking by those in deep formats with Green Bay's Bye (Week 13) still more than a few games away.
