Randall Cobb (WR, DAL) - 2019 Fantasy Football Sleeper

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver (WR) Randall Cobb is a fantasy football sleeper and ADP value for the 2019 season. Antonio Losada breaks down Cobb's value in fantasy drafts.

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~210 Overall

Current ADP: ~240

We're a little bit separated from Randall Cobb's best season, which came in 2014. Back then he was able to catch 91 passes for 1,287 yards and 12 touchdowns and finished the year as the WR6 in PPR leagues rivaling the likes of Odell Beckham and Julio Jones. Now he will play out of Green Bay for the first time and will change from an elite quarterback (Aaron Rodgers) for a doubted one (Dak Prescott). The risk of drafting him is obvious, much more as he'll be part of a loaded offense in which both Amari Cooper and Ezekiel Elliott, if he doesn't hold out, will be unquestionably over him in the pecking order.

Don't be fooled by his 2018 numbers, though. Cobb missed time due to injury, finishing the season with just 9 games which limited him to only 86.3 points. Pro-rated to a 16-game season, though, that mark translates to 153.4. Not great, yes, but look at what he had to deal with in Green Bay. He had fewer targets than Adams, Valdes-Scantling, Graham, and the running backs' group. His average depth of target was of 8.4 yards (71st in the NFL) yet his yards after catch ranked 6th-best.

In an offense in Dallas in which the slot receiver (he occupied that position on 90 percent of his snaps last season) got targeted only 50 percent of the snaps by Prescott (almost league-lowest mark), Cobb could make him adapt and take advantage of his profile to get back to his old ways; he ranks 43rd in PPR points since 2016. Now part of the eighth tier of receivers in FantasyPros, I see the upside to finish the season as a WR3 and even borderline WR2 if all stars align.
