[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 784042"] I'd say if Cobb plays, say, 15 out of 16 games his max upside would be something like 2015: [URL]http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/14053/randall-cobb[/URL] That said, I have a hard time seeing how he's going to get those 129 targets which was a byproduct of Nelson being out for the year, Jones being past his prime and Adams limping around the field most of the year. While the #2 wideout spot remains a question mark, today's RBs can all catch the ball quite well and there's not just one, but three, tight ends you'd want to throw the ball to instead of Richard Rodgers. I think a more reasonable expectation would be numbers along the lines of his 2016 season, prorated up to 15 or 16 games, if he in fact plays that many.
