Falcons receiver Julio Jones just had his best game since Week 3. (Getty)
With the trade deadline coming up in most fantasy football leagues, let’s take a look at a few wide receivers you should be looking to acquire.
Randall Cobb, Packers — To say fantasy owners are frustrated with Cobb would be an understatement. He hasn’t scored since Week 3 and has just a single 100-yard game. While Cobb misses the defensive attention the injured Jordy Nelson received, Aaron Rodgers is still the Packers quarterback. And last time I checked, that’s a very good thing (well, maybe not in Week 8). See if you can pry Cobb away from his fed-up owner.
Mike Evans, Buccaneers — Evans is finally getting fully healthy and Jameis Winston is beginning to resemble an NFL quarterback. The 20 targets Evans has seen over the past 2 games is going to become the norm. Strike now before his value gets too high.
Jordan Matthews, Eagles — The Eagles pass offense is a wreck right now. But who else does Sam Bradford have to throw to? Exactly. While his game numbers have gotten progressively worse by the week, Matthews is seeing a healthy 9 targets per game. You can get him on the cheap and the upside is certainly there.
