Cohen scored 17.3 points last week in standard scoring leagues and was even more impressive in PPR formats.
His big week led to him being added more than any other player. He was owned in just 2.7 percent of fantasy football leagues heading into the weekend and that jumped to 44.8 percent after waivers on Wednesday, making him the biggest jump of any player.
Here's a look at the 10 most added players this week (numbers from ESPN Fantasy Football):
| Player | Pos. | Team | Wk. 1 Pts. | % Owned | % Increase |
