Randall Cobb has long been one of Aaron Rodgers‘s favorite targets, but he has been out since Week 6 with an ankle injury. He was expected to return from the IR in time for Green Bay’s Thursday Night Football matchup against the Titans. From a fantasy perspective, Cobb is intriguing, especially in PPR leagues, since he received 13 targets in Week 5. So will the 32-year-old suit up for the cold evening game in Wisconsin? And, if he does, is he worth a pickup for fantasy managers? Here’s what we know.

Randall Cobb (ankle) expected to play versus Titans
Packers’ WR Randall Cobb is expected to return to action against the Titans on Thursday Night Football.
Fantasy Impact
Cobb has missed the past four games following a high-ankle sprain that he suffered way back in Week 6. Cobb’s return should boost Aaron Rodgers’ passing, especially with rookie WR Romeo Doubs remaining out for the matchup. Cobb has no standard league fantasy value, but could be worth a play as a DFS prayer in single-game slates.

What the Experts Are Saying
Randall Cobb was activated from IR earlier this week, opening the 21-day window for his return. He might be back this week but won’t commit to a return against the Titans. Cobb hasn’t played since Week 6. Therefore, he’ll likely need a ramp-up period before handling a full complement of snaps. Cobb is still an exciting option at the minimum salary on DraftKings, even on a probable pitch count if he returns this week.
