OAK TE Jared Cook - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Denver Broncos

Oakland hosts Denver as a home underdog with an implied team total of just 20 points. In what could be the last game the Raiders ever play in Oakland, one would expect Jon Gruden to have this team ready to play well. In fantasy though, we care more about quantifiable factors more than narratives. Denver is 26th in aFPA to TEs. Jared Cook remains the lone Raider worth starting in fantasy this week. But as last week showed, he's still one of the more volatile options at a position void of many options.

OAK TE Jared Cook - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Cincinnati Bengals

The Raiders head to the eastern time zone for an early kickoff in Cincinnati. Oakland is a road underdog with a middle of the road implied team total, which should lead to negative game script. However, the Bengals are top 10 in aFPA to WRs, meaning Derek Carr should continue to target his tight end. Cincinnati is just 18th in aFPA to TEs, and Jared Cook has a touchdown and/or 100 yards in four straight games. Fire him up with confidence.

OAK TE Jared Cook - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Pittsburgh Steelers

The Raiders have an implied team total of fewer than 21 points, among the bottom ten teams in the league this week. The Steelers defense has had its struggles, but recently, that has come against offenses much better than Oakland's. Pittsburgh still ranks above the league average in aFPA to TEs, but not as good as their rankings against RBs and WRs. This sets up well for Jared Cook, who has more double-digit PPR games over the past four weeks than all of Oakland's wide receivers combined. Start him with confidence.

OAK TE Jared Cook - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

Kansas City is ranked in the bottom five in aFPA to TEs. A very high over/under in this game also keeps the Raiders from the bottom teams in implied team total for Week 13, suggesting some potential negative game script to bolster a pedestrian Oakland passing attack. Over the past month, seven Raiders receivers have combined for just one double-digit PPR game (Brandon LaFell, 10.9, Week 11). That is pathetic passing game production. Meanwhile, Jared Cook has back-to-back double-digit PPR games with 9.2 PPR points in Week 9. He's a solid TE1 for Week 13 in all formats.

OAK TE Jared Cook - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Baltimore Ravens

The Raiders travel across the country as a double-digit underdog, tied for the lowest implied team total of Week 12 at just 16 points. Baltimore also ranks top five in aFPA to WRs. Jordy Nelson is questionable this week, after beginning the practice week as a limited participant. Jared Cook has received 15 targets over the past two weeks, and given how tough the Ravens are against receivers and how thin fantasy TE is, Cook remains in the low-end TE1 mix.

OAK TE Jared Cook - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Arizona Cardinals

The Raiders are so bad at this point in the season that Oakland is a 5.5-point underdog to a two-win team this week. The Raiders implied team total of 17.5 points is also the lowest on the slate this week by a full two points. That's not a recipe for fantasy success. The Cardinals are third in the league in aFPA to TEs but only 27th against RBs, potentially foreshadowing a run-heavy attack for Oakland this week. That doesn't bode well for Jared Cook. Nine targets last week but only four receptions for 52 yards shows Cook may still be on the low-end TE1 radar for the rest of the season, but his ceiling is capped by how poor his offense is.

OAK TE Jared Cook - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Los Angeles Chargers

Let's check in on the Raiders offense as they begin the second half of their season: 19th in total offense, 28th in scoring offense and 24th in rushing offense. The Jon Gruden era is going swimmingly so far. The Raiders also have one of the lowest implied team totals this week against Los Angeles. The pass catchers aren't seeing nearly enough targets either to provide help to starting lineups, as the offense just isn't moving the ball enough. Jared Cook had just two targets last week in a disaster of a showing in San Francisco. He's still a low-end starting option though, given his spot in the pecking order for targets in Oakland and the lowly state of the fantasy TE position.
