TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted October 14, 2013 Yikes. http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/6497/randall-cobb 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." Dunne tweeted that his source is "adamant" this is a 6-8 week injury, and not something Cobb could return from in a matter of a few games. Fantasy owners can hang on for a more definitive timetable, but it's going to be 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. Oct 14 - 6:05 PM Source: Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricanrockers 39 Posted October 14, 2013 i wonder if grabbing Boykins is wise or going in another direction? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
murf74 461 Posted October 14, 2013 So could this mean a big dose of Finley? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flgatorguy87 160 Posted October 14, 2013 Finley and Lacy the biggest benefactors? Who gets the slot role now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roroco 75 Posted October 14, 2013 Man... That is going to hurt. Now they have stone hands Finley and rock arms Boykin. I think Rodgers can still make due, but the Packers better look at replacing their training crew. They always are riddled with injuries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadianfan 76 Posted October 14, 2013 Packers almost never trade, but there are 2 good ones out there they might want to think about. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snatchit 108 Posted October 15, 2013 Finley couldn't catch a football wrapped in double sided tape standing still Thanks for the laugh, Finley owner here..... What is wrong with that dude ?? Jeeeez ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R8RMick 242 Posted October 15, 2013 Not sure they would need a high quality replacement. A savvy vet who's a solid route runner with passable speed could probably produce in that offense with Rodgers dealing the ball. They passed on Marshawn Lynch a few years back when they probably could've had him easily for a 2nd rounder. So it'd be a waiver wire move definitely. Boykin needs to go stack the cups of gatorade in neat little rows on a table. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phins1921 10 Posted October 15, 2013 This is so crazy. A few weeks ago I was going along nicely and now I'm being decimated by injuries. This sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 15, 2013 I was going to stash Cobb but just read he's going on IR and won't be able to come back till Week 15!

steelers2101 7 Posted October 15, 2013 Since Cobb's situation is clear, the biggest question is how this will affect Aaron Rodgers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I might stash. My team is 6-0 and deep enough to possibly still make the playoffs. He could be gold come week 15. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thinking the same thing. Who knows, maybe he comes back sooner. I got V.Jackson, Gordon and Garçon holding down the fort for now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddy808 8 Posted October 15, 2013 Thinking the same thing. Who knows, maybe he comes back sooner. I got V.Jackson, Gordon and Garçon holding down the fort for now. He can't come back sooner they already designated him, w15 is the earliest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 15, 2013 I can understand stashing him, I've been considering it myself, but to come back in Week 15 is just way too long IMO. Week 15 is fantasy semifinals. Would you really feel comfortable, if you make it that far of course, starting Cobb in a must win semifinals game when he's coming off a two month absence? I can see the upside but I can also see a lot of people getting burned by a move like this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

avocado 0 Posted October 16, 2013 Is dropping the right move here? I'm already stashing Vereen... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDaddy808 8 Posted October 16, 2013 Is dropping the right move here? I'm already stashing Vereen... He's droppable, won't be back till week 15. If/when he comes back, are you willing to plug him in immediately and start him after he's been out for 2 months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
