Flgatorguy87 160 Posted September 10, 2017 Can he be what Tevin Coleman was last year? Bears are hurting for play makers and this kid seems to be one. I could see them manufacture touches for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frozenbeernuts 1,652 Posted September 10, 2017 I think it's amazing how dumb some coaches can be and talk about how rookies aren't ready for the state and haven't earned the play time. Then other teams throw rookie players out there who do just fine Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hawkeye21 1,848 Posted September 11, 2017 Lowers the value of Howard going forward in ppr. I wouldn't change Howard much at all. He was never getting that many catches in the first place. He's still going to get a catch or two each game just like he was before. There are going to be times where Howard is in the backfield and Cohen is split out wide.

Maulers1973 117 Posted September 11, 2017 Who the hell is this guy? Never heard of him until today, and now he's God? A rookie running back that has been talked about on this board for over a month. You probably have never heard of Carlos Henderson or Chris Carson either. I wish you were in my league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's still going to get a catch or two each game just like he was before. There are going to be times where Howard is in the backfield and Cohen is split out wide. Howard still had 3 catches, and he dropped what could have been another TD. If not for Cohen the Bears don't end up close enough to the end zone for Howard to score his 1st. As long as the offense has a decent amount of plays overall, they will both be getting touches Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have J Howard, and now wondering which one I will start week to week. I guess if I think the Bears will be playing from behind, it's the Human Joystick.

Phil Simms 11 127 Posted September 11, 2017 need to figure out what % of budget to throw down. 25%? I could use a WR more I reckon. May go after Galladay as well, but not sure I am sold he will get continued opportunities. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted September 11, 2017 In a preseason game, he caught 2 TD's. Now, in a regular season game he has caught 2 TD's. You're not sold? What does it take man? They guy has a big body and amazing hands. He's going to get a LOT of red zone targets. I bet he puts up 12 TD for the year. I wish I had drafted him instead of Martavis Bryant.

Mike FF Today 607 Posted September 12, 2017 Hey, I wrote this for the Week 1 Inside the Matchup column... The running game in Chicago starts and stops with Jordan Howard, but rookie Tarik Cohen is starting to make some noise and is someone worth watching early in the season to see how his role develops. For now, he’s considered a change-of-pace back but could push for a bigger role as the season rolls along. Benny Cunningham was signed this off-season and could see some work on third downs, reducing Howard’s value especially in PPR leagues. The Falcons gave up the 10th most fantasy points to running back last season thanks in part to 6 receiving TDs and the most receiving yards allowed (870) to the position. Tarik Cohen anyone? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ray_T 587 Posted September 12, 2017 So basically the matchup was perfect for a player with his skillset. Meaning we need to temper our expectations on this kid moving forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkeye21 1,848 Posted September 12, 2017 So basically the matchup was perfect for a player with his skillset. Meaning we need to temper our expectations on this kid moving forward. I think a realistic expectation is that he gets around 5 carries and 5 receptions per game which makes him a flex candidate each week in full PPR. He also has a good possibility to break off a huge play and a TD which gives him RB2 or even RB1 potential. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobb_deep 917 Posted September 13, 2017 Who all claimed Cohen last night? What did you pay in FAAB? I got him for 32/100$. Might have overbid a little, but I think he will be a solid FLEX/low end RB2 going forward. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
