Cobb top 10 or 15 WR w/ return yards and PPR? (1 Viewer)

Okay, our league gives big points for return yards. 1/15 for both punt and kickoff returns. Does this turn Cobb into a top 10 WR? I was offered him for Bowe straight up and took it. This league made Sproles a top 3 RB last year (might have been no. 1 overall if I remember correctly). He put up 30+ pts in week 1 w/ this scoring. Someone tell me I'm not crazy for thinking I definitely get the better of this deal w/ this scoring system. Worst case it gives me more consistency w/ a floor of about 5 points solely from return yardage.

Well if he can get past the hamstring issue this week and actually play and be on the field in most weeks then yes BUT it is unlikely at this point because he does NOT have consistent playing time and targets. So some weeks yes and some weeks no and good luck at guessing which are which

My other thought is that when he's the WR3 on that team, he gets the balls Jordy got last year, and Jordy ended up having a great year. If Cobb even has half that w/ his returning prowess in my league, he should be great.

As long as he's the KR/PR and maintains his current role in the GB offense, there's no doubt in my mind that Randall Cobb is more valuable than Dwayne Bowe (in your league's format). Your right, his floor is probably 50 return yards (3.33 points), one reception (one points assuming its ppr), and 30 rush/rec yards (3 points)...so you can probably count on 7-8 points being his floor. I expect him to have more games like he did against SF (though not counting on a PR TD) than he did against Chicago...

Thanks for the thoughts.
