Tarik Cohen has seen his snap share steadily increase over the past three weeks, peaking at 48.6 percent last week. This has coincided with an uptick in volume, resulting in 20 and 12 touches, respectively, in his previous two games. Those two totals are Cohen's highest so far this season.
This week. he and the Chicago Bears face off against the New England Patriots in a game with a 49.5 over/under (stay up to date with line movement using the DFS Heat Map Tool). In games with even moderately high totals (45 and above), Cohen has excelled, and this game will mark the highest total Cohen has played in as former Bears head coach John Fox seemingly had the under in every game he coached.
Cohen gets a boost in receptions (1.4) and carries (1.3) when he plays in games with 45-point totals or more. As Cohen continues to garner more touches, a shootout is the perfect spot to play him.
