START ‘EM – TE

28. . Tight End. Raiders. Jared Cook. 4. player

The Raiders are a mess right now, trading away Amari Cooper, but that bodes well for Jared Cook and anyone who might have him on their team. Cook has always been a favorite target of Derek Carr‘s, but with Cooper gone now, his targets are going to increase even more.

Throw all of this in with the fact that the Colts have had problems against tight ends and that makes Cook an even more appealing option. Yes, Cook has been a bit of a pain to have on a fantasy team due to how inconsistent he’s been, but at a thin position like tight end, he’s a good option this week.

Take a chance on Jared Cook this weekend and hopefully the super productive Cook shows up in a game that no one other than Colts or Raiders fans will be watching.
