LAC TE Jared Cook - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Vikings

He didn't put up monster numbers in Week 9, but it was Jared Cook's most productive game in recent time. He caught all four of his targets for 48 yards, catching a two-point conversion on his way to 8.8 fantasy points. It was his third-highest fantasy output of the season and marked his third TE1 game week. His day could have been better. but fellow tight ends Donald Parham and Stephen Anderson also featured prominently, combining for seven receptions for 78 yards and two touchdowns. Annoying.

Cook may struggle for fantasy relevance in Week 10 against the Vikings. They rank fifth in aFPA to tight ends this season, Tight ends are averaging three receptions for 31.2 yards against them over the last five games. Cook should be treated as a mid-tier TE2 this week.

LAC TE Jared Cook - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Eagles

Jared Cook continues to be a full participant in the Chargers passing offense, but also continues to not really put up the production that makes him truly appealing to fantasy managers. He's tied for the ninth most routes run among all tight ends in 2021, never running less than 26 a game. But he's caught just seven passes in his last three games and hasn't topped 29 yards in any one of those games. He's the TE16 on the year.

Things don't look like improving too much in Week 9 against the Eagles, who rank 22nd in aFPA to the tight end position this season. The Birds have allowed an average of 7.2 receptions for 60 yards to tight ends over their last five games, with Week 8 against the Lions the only one of those games in which a TE didn't find the endzone. But with his current target share, it's hard to trust Cook at any above a mid-tier TE2 in Week 9.

LAC TE Jared Cook - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Patriots

Jared Cook is still 10th among all tight end in pass routes run, despite already having had his bye week. Cook is also ninth in targets at the tight end position with 33, sits 12th with 21 receptions but a disappointing 17th with 235 receiving yards. He has found the endzone twice in his last three games, but he is merely the TE16 in half-PPR fantasy points per game.

Cook will have his work cut out for him this week if he is to make any noise in fantasy terms. The Patriots are 6th in aFPA to the tight end position and have allowed a mere 2.78 receptions for 34.8 yards over their last five games. Cook is a high-end TE2 this week according to our rankings.

LAC TE Jared Cook - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Ravens

Only five tight ends have run more routes than Jared Cook in 2021, who has 155 so far. He is 10th with 26 targets and tied for 13th with 17 receptions. He also sits 13th in receiving yards 210. But he has just one touchdown catch in 2021, and Week 5 saw him catch a single ball for 29 yards. It was his third game with less than 30 yards in five this year. Cook currently sits as the TE15, with just one top 12 showing on the year.

He may find things more to his liking in Week 6. The Ravens are currently 26th in aFPA to tight ends. The Ravens and Buccaneers are tied for the most receptions allowed to the position with 36 each, while only the Chiefs have given up more receiving yards than the 420 allowed by the Ravens. Cook is projected to be a low-end TE1 in Week 6, although he may be in line for an increased workload if Mike Williams misses the game or plays at less than full health.

LAC TE Jared Cook - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Browns

Jared Cook notched his first Chargers touchdown against his old team the Raiders on Monday night, one of six receptions he caught for 70 yards on his way to a season-high 13.0 fantasy points. Through four weeks, Cook has been targeted 23 times for 16 receptions, 181 yards, and a score. He sits as the TE13 in Half-PPR formats.

Historically, the Browns have been quite weak against tight ends, but that particular trend seems to have been bucked somewhat in 2021. They're currently 12th in aFPA to the position, having given up just 13 receptions for 125 yards and two scores this season. Six of those receptions, along with 76 of the yards and both touchdowns came against Travis Kelce back in Week 1. Cook projects as a mid-level TE2 this week.

LAC TE Jared Cook - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Raiders
Jared Cook has been playing his part for the Chargers this season without mega numbers to show for it. After three games, Cook is seventh among all tight ends with 16 targets, but he has just 10 receptions (14th) for 111 scoreless yards (11th) to show for it. As expected, he isn't making much noise in fantasy terms either, averaging just 7.0 fantasy points per game (TE21). The Raiders have been fairly middle of the road so far against tight ends, sitting 18th in aFPA to the position. The Raiders have allowed 17 receptions for 142 yards to tight ends after three weeks, but have yet to allow a touchdown.

LAC TE Jared Cook - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Chiefs
Jared Cook has enjoyed a solid start to his Chargers career, although it could have been better. Cook has caught eight of his 13 targets for 84 yards in 2021, although he is yet to find the end zone. He did have a touchdown waved off by penalty last week, however. Cook may be asked to do some blocking this week as the Chargers look to protect Storm Norton at right tackle after he struggled against the Cowboys. But when trusted to run routes, Cook could be in line for a good week in Week 3. The Chiefs have allowed the second-most receiving yards to tight ends in the NFL through two weeks, and have been fairly generous to the position going back to last season. The Chiefs allowed the 6th most aFPA to tight ends a year ago. Indeed, over their last five regular-season games tight ends have averaged 5.6 receptions for 72 yards against the Chiefs.
