Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb does not have his full range of motion back, according to Michael Cohen of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.
Randall Cobb without full range of motion, still a mainstay in fantasy lineups
The Packers’ ailing No. 1 receiver will still take the field for his team’s season opener. We break down the fantasy implications.

Cobb suffered a sprained AC joint in his right shoulder during the team’s third preseason game, and is still not at 100 percent. Despite that, the slot receiver returned to practice on Wednesday at a limited capacity, and proclaimed that he will be on the field on Sunday.
Fantasy Spin: With a depleted receiving corps behind Cobb and Davante Adams, the Packers will want all hands on deck for a divisional matchup versus the Chicago Bears. Cobb will still see plenty of targets coming his way, and as long as he is on the field, he deserves a spot in lineups across the board.
Should the Packers jump out to an early, insurmountable lead, expect the coaching staff to take it easy on Cobb and bench him. He remains a high-ceiling player, but there’s certainly some variance to take into account for this situation.
