Randall Cobb News

The surgery was to "clean out the back of his ankle," according to Rapoport. 32-year-old Cobb caught 34 passes for 417 yards and one touchdown on 50 targets across 13 games for the Packers last season. He's scheduled to be a free agent later this month. It's unclear at this point if Cobb plans to keep playing in 2023.

Cobb drew more looks than he did in each of the previous two seasons, but due to an ankle injury and some younger receivers on the roster emerging, the 12-year veteran recorded only 25 targets and 168 yards after Week 5. Cobb could return to Green Bay if quarterback Aaron Rodgers does, but if Rodgers goes, Cobb likely will too.

Cobb played nearly 50 percent of the snaps for the fourth time in five weeks, but he drew only two passes in his direction for a second straight game. Assuming the Packers have all their receivers available for next week's regular season finale against the Lions, he figures to remain in a part-time role.

Cobb was credited with a Week 16 start, but he played fewer than half the snaps for a fourth week in a row and saw only two passes thrown his direction. He will have a plus matchup in Week 17 against a Vikings team that allowed wideouts to rack up at least 243 yards four times over the last five weeks, but he totaled jut six receptions, 56 yards and a score over his last four appearances, so his prospects will not be particularly promising unless fellow wideout Christian Watson -- who left Sunday's game with a hip injury -- is unable to go.

Cobb maintained his slot role despite the return of Romeo Dobbs (ankle), garnering four targets for the third consecutive game. Allen Lazard (one catch for seven yards) was the player who took the big hit in usage following the rookie wideout's return. Cobb still doesn't provide enough upside to warrant consideration in standard formats ahead of Sunday's tilt against Miami.

Cobb finished fourth among Packers skill players in targets and third among Packers wideouts in snaps, but he was held without a reception for the first time in nine appearances this season. Cobb has had a few fantasy-friendly games this season, but it will be tough for him to have another, as not only will he be behind Christian Watson and Allen Lazard when the Packers return from their Week 14 bye, but likely Romeo Doubs (ankle) as well.
