I have five WRs and Cobb was the lowest scorer among them this week.
Crazy game we play.

Any Lions followers who can weigh in on how they will play Cobb this week?
Will Slay shadow Cobb, and if so, can he shut him down?

He was mostly on Cobb/Jones in the Lambeau game. Lawson held up pretty well on Adams (from memory 8-74-0 on 21 targets.) Safeties Glover Quinn & James Ihedigbo were both limited and Q for tomorrow.

Hmmm, check that. Slay had MOSTLY Jones Week 10, pitched a shutout. AR told him after the game "You're one of the best young corners in the league." They rolled double teams to Cobb.
Probably will be Quandre Diggs on Cobb. I think it is going to be a Lacy/Starks/Richard Rodgers type of game.

Lions have awakened. Benching Cobb without thinking twice.

Cobb goes for 6+, 80+, and at least 1 touchdown this week.

Really torn here because I have a couple RB options in Ingram and Rawls.
Probably will agonize about this decision right up until kickoff.

I assume it's the defensive match-ups holding you back on both of those RB's. That is a tough one.
My headache is Cobb vs John Brown vs Aiken... pretty sure I'm sticking with Cobb and hoping that this is the week the ball sticks to his hands.

My headache is Landry vs Cobb.
Landry is listed as questionable and Cobb goes tonight. If I stick with Landry and he can't go on Sunday I'm left with Moncrief.

Am I an idiot for thinking that GB might have revenge on their mind and finally play the first solid offensive game in awhile?

I think Cobb has solid game tonight, going to predict 7 for 85 and a score. Just can't start him over ARob as my WR3, but I have a good feeling about Cobb tonight.

Part of it is the matchups. But the risk is I choose Cobb and he puts up what has become a typical 5-50 line. I know I can get 10 points from either of those RBs with a guaranteed 15-25 touches, with some upside if they score a TD.

The Vegas total for the game in Lambeau was 48 with Green Bay favored at home by 11.5 points. Of course Detroit had been dreadful all season to that point and the Packers came in losers of 2 straight to Denver and Carolina.
As we all know, Detroit upset Green Bay which started a string of 3 straight wins which included stingy defensive performances. Green Bay has lost 2 of 3 with their win coming on the road against Minnesota where the offense, dare I say, looked pretty good with Rogers throwing for 2 TDs (one to Cobb).
Tonight's game opened with a total of 47 with Green Bay favored on the road by 3 points. That's not a low total and if Slay blanks Jones, as he did last time, that seems to indicate Cobb has a decent chance to score tonight.

Good stuff.
Actually, Cobb has a decent chance of scoring every week. Some bad drops and a bad whistle have erased at least 3 long TDs that I can recall.

I poked around on the 'net earlier. From what I can tell, Slay does not cover slot receivers, which makes me feel better about starting Cobb.
Also, just a gut feeling, I think it will be an indoor game with both teams unable to run and forced to air it out. Smells like a 27-24 kind of game.

I own the A-Rod to Cobb stack so I pay close attention.....this is true PLUS there have been at lest 3 more TDs that Rodgers missed him on. Certainly they are out of sorts as an offense, but there's also been a lot of bad luck this year. So far.

Since so many of you are sitting him, I'm starting him. Because that's when a player goes off.

Can't wait for tomorrow's threads from people whining who didn't get credit for that TD.

So far yahoo has given me credit for that TD but I can't imagine that will stand.
ETA -- No it will count. Thank you Cobb!

That just set himself up for a huge fantasy day when he gets that 2nd TD in the 4th quarter.

It depends on your league scoring setting. My league counts offensive fumble recoveries for TDs.

It's not a Rushing TD. It's not a Receiving TD.
It's a Fumble Recovery TD.
And if your league is not specifically set up to include Fumble Recovery Touchdowns, then you're not going to get any points for it.
Been that way for years.

Anyone get credit on CBS? We have individual fumble recoveries.

He's on the verge of being droppable.

I have to admit, I'm so confused that people do not understand this.
On top of it, I'm in disbelief that people still dont understand the scoring in their league.

Standard league?
In PPR, he has 13 ppg the last two weeks.
Sure, it's not stellar, but I certainly don't see any WR in my leagues I would drop him for.

He's been droppable for a long time. I dropped him and Sammy Watkins with hopes that both would be scooped up by playoff teams and started against me. So far so good.

I am in a public money league on CBS. All public standard CBS leagues get credit for OFTDs. I did not know that nor did the points for it show up until a day or so after the game.
