Jared Cook News
The Los Angeles Chargers activated tight end Jared Cook from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday, according to head coach Brandon Staley. Cook missed the team's Week 17 win over the Denver Broncos, but he'll be back for Sunday night's win-and-in showdown against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders on the road. In Cook's absence last Sunday, Tre' McKitty and Stephen Anderson combined for just four catches and 30 yards on four targets. Cook should return to his regular role as the team's primary pass-catching tight end, but he's mostly been a low-upside TE2 for fantasy purposes this season. The 34-year-old is averaging only 2.9 catches and 32.3 yards per game and has scored four times on 44 receptions over 15 games.
The Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end Jared Cook (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday after testing positive for the virus. He reportedly has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. With backup Donald Parham (concussion) on injured reserve, Stephen Anderson and Tre' McKitty will handle tight end duties against Denver while Cook is sidelined. The Broncos have been stingy against the position and rank fifth in DVOA against opposing tight ends. Fantasy managers should look for a different streaming option on the waiver wire for their championship games.
The Los Angeles Chargers placed tight end Jared Cook on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday and he will be out for Week 17 against the division-rival Denver Broncos. Donald Parham Jr. (concussion) hasn't played since suffering a serious head injury in Week 15, so with both Cook and Parham likely out this weekend, the Chargers will be down to Stephen Anderson and Tre' McKitty at the position. Anderson and McKitty have combined for 18 catches for 180 yards and one touchdown on 22 targets. Anderson is the better bet for production, but fantasy managers shouldn't be trusting either of these backup tight ends in starting lineups. Plus, the Broncos defense has been a bad matchup for opposing TEs all year.
