Randall Cobb FanDuel

The Green Bay Packers take on the New Orleans Saints in Week 8 of the 2014 NFL season in a game that is expected to be a shootout, where the first one to 40 or so points wins. When looking for the best receiving option for your FanDuel lineup, look no further than Packers wideout Randall Cobb.

Cobb leads Green Bay in receiving touchdowns on the season with eight, so it’s no coincidence that he only scored one touchdown combined in both of their losses. When Cobb has success, the Packers have success.

New Orleans ranks 28th in the NFL in the passing yards allowed per game category, which means the Green Bay receivers are likely to put up huge numbers. Jordy Nelson has been the go-to receiver for Aaron Rodgers, but due to Rodgers’ tendency to look his way, he should be double-teamed for a majority of the game, leaving Cobb open. His speed and athleticism should leave the Saints’ defenders in the dust.

Cobb should pull in a touchdown or two against the weak Saints’ passing defense, so he is a must-start for every FanDuel lineup. He has the potential to be the highest scoring FanDuel receiver this week due to Green Bay’s high octane offense and is relatively cheap at just $8,400, which should allow for you to purchase a few more high-caliber players.

Remember, the key to winning your league is picking the player who will perform the best at the cheapest price; this week, the answer is Cobb.
