Jared Cook Fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Jared Cook will have a tasty matchup in Week 6 versus a Baltimore Ravens defense that has struggled mightily against the position this year. Against the Ravens defense this season, tight ends have averaged seven receptions for just under 82 yards per game and have scored three touchdowns on the year. The veteran has been having a solid season in his first year with the Chargers and has recorded 17 receptions for 210 yards and one touchdown on the season. This matchup has all the makings of a potential high-scoring affair and wide receiver Mike Williams (knee) is also questionable for the contest. If Williams were to sit out this contest, Cook could see an increase in targets. Even if Williams suits up, Cook has a very favorable matchup and could be considered a TE1 in 12-team leagues for Week 6.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Jared Cook is coming off of his best game of the season in Week 4 versus the Las Vegas Raiders with six receptions for 70 yards and his first touchdown, but he faces a Cleveland Browns defense in Week 5 that has been solid against the position this season. The Browns defense got torched by Travis Kelce in Week 1 for 76 yards and two touchdowns but has yet to allow a tight end tandem to go for over 18 yards in a game since. Cook remains a solid piece of a dangerous Chargers offense, but being behind running back Austin Ekeler and wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen make him a shaky option on a weekly basis. Cook should be considered a TE2 with fringe TE1 potential in Week 5.

Los Angeles Chargers tight end Jared Cook had a big night in a Week 4 victory versus the Las Vegas Raiders. The veteran was his team's leader in receiving yards with 70 and he also caught six balls for a touchdown. Cook had a touchdown called back in each of the last two games, but he was finally able to secure one on a 10-yard pass from quarterback Justin Herbert in the second quarter. Being part of one of the better offenses in the league, Cook should continue to be a valuable tight end option on a weekly basis, but managers can also expect some inconsistencies with him competing with running back Austin Ekeler and wide receivers Mike Williams and Keenan Allen for targets. Moving forward, Cook should be considered a fringe TE1 versus the Cleveland Browns in Week 5.
