seems like the tone of this entire thread is pretty much a microcosm of the shark pool this year

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on NFL Live the Packers' "expectation" is Randall Cobb (knee) will miss two games.
I'm going to guess 4 weeks which is great news considering it could of been season ending

Yea i'd sign for 4 weeks in a nano second. be back for end of fantasy seasons + playoffs.
yea, good news. I think the Pack will be OK in his absence.
The Packers schedule at the beginning of the season looked daunting... now, not so much. For non-divisional play, the matchups against the Giants, Eagles, Steelers, Falcons, Cowboys all looked pretty tough but I think the Packers will be favored in all of those the rest of the way.
The toughest games left look like the Bearsx2 and the Lions with Megatron. That last game would have been a hell of a lot closer (and could have swung the other way) against a healthy Calvin. The Lions blew out the Bears (not counting garbage points) when both Bush and Calvin were healthy, and the Bears look pretty good this year (until their usual late season collapse, anyway).

In my PPR league Cobb is currently WR19.

Pretty good for a WR who had an early bye week and missed half of another game.

A source tells the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that Randall Cobb fractured his right fibula in Week 6 against the Ravens, and will be sidelined 6-8 weeks.
ESPN earlier reported the "expectation" was Cobb would only miss two games, but the Journal-Sentinel's Ty Dunne is disputing that story. Per Dunne, Cobb "nearly broke the fibula entirely," and coach Mike McCarthy confirmed in Monday's press conference Cobb would miss "multiple weeks." Fantasy owners can hang on for a more definitive timetable, but it's going to hard to keep Cobb rostered if the Journal-Sentinel's report proves true. Jordy Nelson, Jermichael Finley, and to a lesser extent James Jones get fantasy box-score boosts.

ok, wtf. 8 weeks pretty much is getting him back for the fantasy championships. I figured with all this positive yet unconfirmed news coming out that there was going to be a bomb shell.

Very interesting that fibula was where energy of that hyperextension injury went for Cobb. May be better long term than PCL or LCL injury.

But likely to take every bit of that 6-8 week estimate for Cobb to recover.

Randall Cobb injury is a fractured fibula. Odd placement, near knee. Normally see at other end. 6 to 8 weeks.
Tyler Dunne @TyDunne 26m
Source also said that Cobb "nearly broke the fibula all the way through." Was adamant that this will take 6-8 weeks to recover from.

rotoworld is really good. I would take their word
And that comes from Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the local paper, that covers the Packers exclusively. They definitely have a source within the organization.
Not looking good for Cobb owners

Speak for yourself. I'm enjoying people not reading the thread, then posting the exact same text 20 times.

The more recent reports are saying 6-8 weeks. I believe scans have shown the injury to be more severe than was initially expected

Well Mort and Schefter were just on ESPN's Monday night countdown and they said he had a fractured tibula & would be out 6-8 weeks. So there is another source for you

Anyone want to share a scouting report, in your own words? I have to admit to not being inspired enough to watch Virginia Tech play football recently.

Please remove your headgear
I didn't watch him at VT, but I watched the game on Sunday. He had a nice catch and run on a screen, showing open-field moves and elusiveness. Other than that, it was pretty bad. Some of it was not being on the same page as Rodgers. There were definitely some miscommunications. He also had at least one (maybe two) bad drops.

hes very small but can handle the rock and is good at distributing the ball and getting into the paint. Not a good outside j

1st 2 weeks and now going w/ the 6-8 week time table, Schefty is useless. How did he get a job?
Usually pretty solid on the Broncos and AFC West. At least he was prior to joining ESPN.

Everyone speculates at the outset - then things usually changes within 24 hours as more information is gleaned.

No, no
It's the bone right above your 2nd big toe. You know how useless a WR is with a messed up 2nd big toe..
