The 10 Best Wide Receivers for the 2014 Fantasy Season
8. Randall Cobb, Green Bay Packers
Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns | Fantasy Points |
---|---|---|---|
91.84 | 1,303.48 | 8.83 | 184.37 |
Randall Cobb beats out his fellow teammate, Jordy Nelson, as he takes the eighth spot on our rankings. Cobb finished last season with an average of 12.5 fantasy points per game in standard leagues. This put him tied for eighth with our number five wide receiver, Dez Bryant.
Cobb’s year was cut down due to a leg injury he suffered early on in the season though. He only played in six games all year, coming back in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears in a winner-take-all game. In that game, Cobb caught two passes on two targets for two touchdowns, one of which was the game-winner. Cobb finished the year with a Reception NEP per target of 0.80, and had he reached even just 120 targets, he would have ranked close to a top-10 wide receiver.
