Randall Cobb scores again for fantasy owners in Week 5
The Packers offensive starters didn’t play the entire game on Thursday night, but Cobb at least scored a touchdown before taking a seat. We break down the fantasy implications.

Cobb scored the first touchdown of the game, giving him a touchdown in four of his five games in 2014. The Green Bay Packers were so far ahead by the third quarter that the offense took an early break for the rest of the night.
Fantasy impact: It’s probably nice for the players to take it easy with a massive lead, but fantasy owners are always frustrated by these kind of blowouts. The Packers were up, 42-0, in the third quarter and Rodgers had only thrown for 156 yards. This was a complete embarrassment.
With six touchdowns now, Cobb is on pace to finish 2014 with around 19 scores for the season. That's an incredible pace considering Jordy Nelson is on fire as well. While the two will likely have some down games, the Packers offense is not slowing down. You want these players for the fantasy playoffs.
