Cohen. Howard is gimped so Cohen is going to get high RB1 work. He's pretty much at RB2 must start status regardless imo, at least in PPR.

Agreed, go with Cohen.  Still need to see how Allen/West are going to be used together.  With Howard banged up and Cohen becoming the main pass catcher in that offense I go Cohen in a PPR

Surprised by the Cohen love so far. I'd go Allen. I think Howard is a much bigger obstacle than West, and Allen is a better all around player than Cohen, and more likely to see 20 touches.

The thing is, Howard isn't an obstacle. Cohen isn't competing with Howard for touches. Waldman has written some pretty good analysis on Cohen and the bottom line is, Cohen is pretty much the only offensive threat the Bears have anymore. Their top 2 receivers are gone, their oline is in shambles, and Cohen is pretty much the only receiver left that Glennon has any rapport. I'm not sure Cohen's work load would increase that much even if Howard were injured. In a PPR league, he's never going to disappoint and will more often than not put up low RB1 numbers. I don't feel like that with Allen. I'm not saying there's a huge difference between the two, I just feel like there's more opportunity and potential with Cohen given the state of the Bear's offense. There's not nearly as many mouths to feed as there are in Baltimore.
