STL TE Jared Cook - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Cleveland
Jared Cook caught just 1-of-6 targets for eight yards in the Rams Week 5 loss to the Packers. He also added another drop, which has become a weekly occurrence for Cook (who was the subject of trade rumors earlier this week). He has little trade value and doesn't have much fantasy value either. Leave Cook, who ranks as our TE19 for Week 8, on your waiver wire.

STL TE Jared Cook - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Green Bay
Jared Cook caught three-of-six targets for 22 yards in the Rams Week 4 win over the Cardinals. He also dropped another pass, which is seemingly becoming a weekly occurrence for the 28-year-old tight end. Following Todd Gurley's breakout performance, the Rams are likely to keep the ball on the ground. That means fewer targets for Cook, who won't be a reliable option for Sunday's game in Green Bay. He ranks as our TE13 for Week 5 and should remain on your waiver wire.

STL TE Jared Cook - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Arizona
Jared Cook caught one-of-three targets for just seven yards in the Rams Week 3 loss to the Steelers. He also had a costly penalty with the Rams inside the red zone while trying to take the lead in the second half and the three targets was a three-week low for Cook. He's played on an average of 81 percent of the team's offensive snaps, but that's a hollow number. The Rams can't run the ball and they're seemingly not going to develop their game plan to feature Cooks in the pass game, so avoid him in all formats. He ranks as our TE17 for Week 4.

STL TE Jared Cook - Week 3, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Pittsburgh
Jared Cook caught 5-of-7 targets for 47 yards in the Rams Week 2 loss to the Redskins. While he led the team in targets, one of his drops would have led to a first down in the second half and his longest gain (a 14-yard reception) was right before halftime as time ran out on the second quarter. Through two games he's played on 79 percent of the Rams offensive snaps and will continue to be an option in the intermediate passing game for Nick Foles. But he's an unreliable fantasy option and should be avoided. He ranks as our TE15 for Week 3.

STL TE Jared Cook - Week 2, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Washington
Jared Cook caught five-of-six targets for 85 yards in the Rams Week 1 win over the Seahawks. He made several nice grabs, including one along the sidelines in the second quarter and one in the flats when QB Nick Foles threw it at his shoe tops. Thanks to his size and speed, Cook is often a mismatch against slower linebackers and smaller defensive backs, but consistency has been an issue for the tight end. There have been times were he'll disappear for games, which makes him an unreliable fantasy player. That said, he's a streaming option this week against Washington and fantasy's No. 31 pass defense. Cook ranks as our TE18 and is a boom-or-bust start for desperate fantasy owners.

STL TE Jared Cook - Week 1, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Seattle
With Kam Chancellor still holding out in SEattle, Jared Cook is a mismatch Week 1 against the Seahawks (on paper). Unfortunately for the Rams and fantasy owners, Cook will always be a mismatch on paper, but a tease on the field. His size and speed should give second-year safety Dion Bailey trouble, but Cook has always been maddeningly inconsistent (both as a pass-catcher and a route-runner). The Seahawks also had the No. 1 fantasy pass defense in the league last year, and it's unlikely the Rams passing game will be potent at any time this season. Ranked as our TE28 for this week, avoid Cook in all formats.

STL TE Jared Cook - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Jared Cook has always been a mismatch on paper. At 6-foot-5 and 254 pounds, he's bigger than defensive backs forced to match up with him in coverage and he's faster than most linebackers. He also finished seventh among tight ends with 98 targets last season, up from the 83 looks he received in 2013. The Rams are changing offensive coordinators (Brian Schottenheimer to Frank Cignetti) and have a new quarterback (Nick Foles), but Cook should receive a fair amount of looks again this season.

Fantasy Downside
One of the reasons Lance Kendricks re-signed with the Rams this offseason was because the team promised him an expanded role in the passing game. He reportedly left more money on the table in Atlanta to return to St. Louis for four years at $18.5 million. Although Kendricks lines up in-line and Cook is often detached, if the Rams expand Kendricks' role in the passing game that will mean fewer targets for Cook. And despite seeing 98 targets a year ago, Cook finished with just 52 receptions for 634 yards and three touchdowns. Those numbers made him the 15th overall tight end in fantasy last season.

Bottom Line
Cook has been a tease since he entered the league in 2009, flashing big potential but failing to put together a breakout season. His highest fantasy finish came in 2013 when he was TE12 and there's no reason to believe his numbers will climb this year. Cook is what he is at this point in his career: A 50-catch, 630-yard, 3.5-touchdown player. Ranked No. 23 among tight ends at 4for4, avoid him on draft night.
