Pack's Cobb will play but may face an uphill battle

Green Bay WR RANDALL COBB led the team in catches and scored a TD in Week 1 -- but if you happen to own him, you know it was not an especially fun week. Perhaps because Cobb is admittedly bothered by the shoulder injury he suffered in the preseason, QB Aaron Rodgers did not target his new WR1 nearly as often as we might ordinarily expect. Nor do things figure to be a whole lot more fun now. The shoulder is still testy, an angry Seahawks team is in town, and there are even rumors that Seattle CB Richard Sherman will be assigned to shadow Cobb instead of sticking to his usual one side of the field. Maybe Cobb brings in another score and thus earns his starting spot once again, but this does not look like a game in which he has much of a chance at going nuts. At least consider your alternatives before inking him in.
