Interesting.My league does 1 pt per 10 receiving/punting yards and 1 pt per 25 kick return yards, no bonuses. 1 PPR and 6pt all tds.Having a hard time telling if Cobb is more valuable in your league or mine lol.
I also am considering between Donald Brown and Cobb in ppr flex. I guess part of it is whether or not you want a sure 10 points (Brown) or need a big pay day (Cobb). I think Cobb is riskier because I won't be surprised if he catches 1/5 yards OR 8/160 yards. I am pretty sure the Donald will have 50-70 yards rushing, 50/50 chance of 1 TD, and perhaps 2 receptions for 20-30 yards.
I'm rollin w/ cobb and decker, but if garcon is healthy i'm sitting decker.
Not so sure about that, but it will be interesting to see how the targets shake out. My thought is if you have either one of em, play em this week. Would I play Cobb over VJax? Uh..no! Not over A.Brown either, NYJ secondary does not scare me minus revis, but he front 7 could still put Ben in quick release mode. Sounds much like Rodgers-Cobb last week eh?
Im thinking of starting him over B. Lloyd myself not sure yet either
Your league is more generous to kick returners. You need a 25 yard return to equal a 10 yard reception. I need a 40 yard return. You need a 50 yard return to equal a 20 yard reception, while I'd need a 60 yard return. A player would need to average a whopping 100+ yards per return before my scoring system started rewarding them more relative to receiving yards. On the other hand, my league is yardage heavy. 30 receiving yards in my league equal 1 TD, while in most leagues it's 60 yards per TD. This tips the scales in favor of a low-TD guy like Cobbs over traditionally high-TD guys like Fitz and Austin. Still, on the whole, I suspect Cobb the extra boost to kick returns in your league outweighs the yardage-heavy nature of my league, leaving Cobb just slightly more valuable to you than to me.
the scoring in my league and jennings injury make me feel pretty confident that Cobb outscores vjax this week
And when has Welker not been a big part of the game plan? I'll probably still roll Welker out there, but I tend to prefer guys who were a big part of the game plan in week 1. Welker has been money for me in the past and I probably won't do it, but Cobb is a very intriguing option.
Colts had 356 yards of offense and 21 points in only 24 mins of possession. So its not like they were the Monsters of the Midway.
Packers are a little better than the Colts I think but hey gotta do what you feel.
Maybe Deangelo bounces back, but it's awful hard to say sitting him for anyone is risky.
Edit: disregard my shock smiley. Totally misread your post. Thought your wrote "starting" instead of "sitting." Doh.Starting him in a ppr flex (no return yardage, but return TDs count) ahead of David Wilson, McCluster, Blackmon, Streater, McCluster and Chandler. Him vs. Blackmon would be a tough call if Blackmon wasn't going up against Houston.
Cobb is a massive problem for a cover 2 defense... Which is what Chicago runs. He's going to have room over the middle to operate out of. I fully expect monster games from Cobb/Finley doing damage in space tonight.
A WR over a RB in a non PPR league is fairly risky. New Orleans showed how good they were at stopping anything with Morris and RG3. So imagine what Cam and co are going to do. I just like Cobb's potential tonight a little better.'pollardsvision said:
