Current Starter: RB Battle Between David Cobb & Bishop Sankey
Current Depth Chart Status: Splitting 1st Team Reps
– As each day moves along, another opportunity for David Cobb arises. Everyone around the Titans training facility this offseason has buzzed about Bishop Sankey looking bigger, stronger, and faster, but the one that has not improved yet has been his vision. Because of his lackluster preseason performances, David Cobb has been given the opportunity to try and steal the spotlight, which is exactly what he has done these last two games. It’s not even a bold prediction anymore: “David Cobb will be the outright starter in that backfield come week one.” In every fantasy football draft, whether it’s standard, PPR, keeper, or even dynasty, you must draft David Cobb early and before Bishop Sankey. That right there is a fact.
Opportunity knocks for David Cobb. Impress tonight and he should secure early-down role for Titans, relegating Sankey to COP duties.
