3 Daily Fantasy Football Players to Avoid in the Wild Card Round
Randall Cobb, WR, Green Bay Packers
FanDuel Salary: $5,300
Randall Cobb has fallen quite a ways from his 91-catch, 1,287-yard season in 2014. The breakout year is starting to look like an outlier as he's averaged 69.5 receptions and 719.5 yards per year over the past two campaigns.
Cobb's upside has vanished this season. Oompa loompas can't walk comfortably under his ceiling.
He has posted double-digit FanDuel points just three times in 13 games, and Cobb is averaging a putrid 6.38 FanDuel points per game over his last seven outings.
| Opponent | Targets | Receptions | Yards | Touchdowns | FanDuel Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colts | 2 | 2 | 14 | 1 | 8.4 |
| Titans | 8 | 4 | 31 | 0 | 5.1 |
| Washington | 5 | 3 | 84 | 0 | 9.9 |
| Eagles | 7 | 6 | 41 | 0 | 7.1 |
| Texans | 3 | 3 | 19 | 1 | 9.4 |
| Seahawks | 3 | 3 | 33 | 0 | 4.8 |
| Bears | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
Adding fuel to the fire, awesome name-haver Geronimo Allison has come on over the past two weeks, racking up 8 catches for 157 yards and a touchdown in that span. Cobb, who is nursing an ankle injury, is expected to play, but there's a chance Allison pilfers some snaps.
The Green Bay Packers have a decent-enough implied total of 25.25, the third-highest of the slate, for their home matchup with the New York Giants, but the Giants' defense is no joke. Our schedule-adjusted metrics rate them as the fifth-best pass defense in football, and the Giants are allowing the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per game (20.63) to wideouts over the past four weeks.
