Fantasy Football 2017: Start Em, Sit Em for Week 12

START ‘EM

Jared Cook has become one of my favorite “non-obvious” tight end options in fantasy football. The guy is huge and can make big plays for the Raiders when called upon. He’s had two 100+ yard performances this season and could make it another big time day when the Raiders host the struggling Broncos this weekend.

As we saw in Kansas City on Monday Night Football a few weeks back, the Broncos have zero options to guard the tight end. Cook, while not as talented as Travis Kelce, is still one of the better tight ends in the league.

Last week Cook had just two catches for 36 yards, but the week prior he racked up eight catches for 126 yards. He can be very sporadic in his production, but I like his chances of having a big game against a Broncos defense that has fallen apart at the seams in the last month and a half.
