START ‘EM – TE

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

It shouldn’t be too surprising seeing Jared Cook listed as a Start ‘Em, considering he’s been one of the better tight ends in the league this season. Even though his production rides and dies with how Derek Carr performs, Cook has shown up big throughout most of 2018.

The best reason, aside from what I just mentioned, as to why Cook is a viable starting option this weekend is an easy one. He absolutely roasted the Chiefs when they played the Raiders a few weeks ago.

Cook went for 100 yards off seven catches and found the end zone once. He’s typically been pretty effective against the Chiefs and with their defense playing as badly as they have been lately, Cook is due for a big time performance in the Raiders’ season finale.

The only thing to be weary of here is that Jared Cook sustained a rib injury and isn’t a shoe-in to suit up on Sunday. If he does play, he’s an absolute must start in week 17.
