Jared Cook Fantasy

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook finished with five receptions for 28 yards on seven targets in Sunday's loss to Tampa. The tight end also lost a crucial fumble which swayed the outcome of the game. Cook finishes 2020 with 37 receptions for 504 yards and seven touchdowns. The tight end will be a free agent this offseason and will turn 34 in a few months. His fantasy value remains low heading into 2021 considering his age and the uncertainty about the size of his role on a potentially new team next season.

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is dealing with a back injury and his status for this week's clash against the Buccaneers is unclear. Nevertheless, if the tight end can ultimately suit up, he does hold fantasy value. Dating back to the regular season, Cook has seen at least four targets and gotten at least 40 yards in the past three games. In two regular-season meetings against Tampa, the TE also compiled a total of seven receptions for 110 yards on 10 targets. Overall, the Bucs allow the 10th-most fantasy points to tight ends, so Cook is certainly in the starting tier given the favorable matchup and his recent production.

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook (back), offensive tackle Terron Armstead (elbow) and defensive end Trey Hendrickson (neck) were all limited in practice on Wednesday. Barring a setback, Cook should play against the Buccaneers on Sunday night in the Divisional Round. Hendrickson, who had a career-high 13.5 sacks this year, looks to be improving after missing last week's wild-card win over the Bears. His return would be a huge boost to the Saints Defense and would be bad news for Tom Brady. Cook caught four of his season-high seven targets for 40 yards last week against Chicago. The 33-year-old veteran could be peppered with targets again this weekend after catching seven of 10 targets for 110 yards in two games against Tampa in 2020. Cook isn't the sexiest fantasy option at the position, but he could have some sneaky upside.
