Randall Cobb Fantasy

When the New York Jets signed wide receiver Randall Cobb this offseason, it felt like he would serve as more of a veteran mentor than have a prominent offensive role. However, by the end of training camp, it was clear that not only will he play a role, but he'll likely start in Week 1 of the regular season, according to The Athletic. He has looked like the team's best option in the slot and the best replacement for the retired Corey Davis in the running game. The 33-year-old could still have something left in the tank, but fantasy managers shouldn't waste a draft pick in him. Mecole Hardman Jr. will mostly be used as a gadget player, so fantasy managers expecting a breakout from him might be disappointed. The X-factor for Cobb is his longstanding relationship with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

New York Jets wide receiver Randall Cobb is entering his 13th NFL season and has not posted over 450 receiving yards since 2019. However, Zack Rosenblatt of the Athletic reports Cobb has been getting more repetitions with quarterback Aaron Rodgers than Mecole Hardman Jr. in recent practices. Rodgers and Cobb spent 10 seasons together in Green Bay and are close friends, but it'd be a surprising development to see the 33-year-old wideout play a larger role than Hardman this season. This is just a preseason report and should be taken with a grain of salt, but it's a situation worth monitoring. Neither player will likely be a great fantasy option in 12-team leagues.

New York Jets wide receiver Randall Cobb (ankle) will be activated from the PUP list and practice on Sunday. The 32-year-old, who signed with the Jets in the offseason, underwent ankle surgery in March after playing in Green Bay in 2022. Unfortunately, he didn't have his best year, totaling 34 catches for 417 yards and a touchdown in 13 games. Without question, Cobb has plenty of experience to help mentor a young Jets receiving corps. But that won't mean he'll be a consistent fantasy producer during the 2023-24 campaign, although he is a familiar face for Aaron Rodgers.
