Jared Cook Fantasy

New Orleans Saints new tight end Jared Cook couldn't ask for a much better opening test as a member of the Saints. After catching 68 passes for 896 yards and six TDs in Oakland last year, many people expect Cook to regress this year while splitting opportunities in a more dynamic Saints offense. That may be true over the season, but Monday he gets a Texans Defense that allowed the fifth most fantasy points to tight ends last year and no longer has Jadeveon Clowney to put pressure on the quarterback. Since the Texans are an elite run-stopping unit, expect the Saints to go to the air often, which could make Cook a great option if you're willing to pay up in DFS. He's a clear start in season-long leagues.

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook(undisclosed) did not suit up for the second straight preseason game. He has also missed some practices this week. According to ESPN's Mike Triplett, Cook may have sustained an injury, but the Saints won't release an injury report until next week. Despite this mysterious injury, Cook had a good preseason with his new team and is locked in as the starting TE. Overall, Cook should be the teams third option in the passing game behind Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. After finishing last season as the fifth-best TE, he should only improve this year in head coach Sean Paytons offense.

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook didn't see much action in the Saints second preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Cook was targeted two times and caught one pass for four yards before heading to the sidelines early. Cook has been excelling in training camp and getting praise from his new teammates. He is poised to be a good tight end option for the 2019 season with his new squad while taking passes from future Hall of Famer Drew Brees.
