Packers TE Jared Cook (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Richard Rodgers was the #9 TE last year in standard formats (#11 in PPR), so if Cook misses Week 5, Rodgers is a serious threat for TE1-type numbers. When Cook exited early in Week 3, Rodgers played a season-high 80% of the snaps. The Packers have averaged 2.71 pass touchdowns at Lambeau since 2014.

Packers Beat: It's 'clear' that TE Jared Cook is team's starter

Before Jared Cook dropped out of the offseason program because of foot surgery, it became clear that he was the Packers' new No. 1 tight end.

Fantasy Impact:

The Packers typically give their top tight around 90 targets per season. Cook has a career Catch Rate of 57.7% and 12.8 Y/R, so assuming he continues at that rate -- which may be low-balling his numbers since the quality of his targets should increase significantly -- he would catch 52 passes for 666 yards. Jermichael Finley averaged 0.34 TD per game in his final three seasons and Richard Rodgers averaged 0.50 TD last year. So if we assume 0.40 TD per game for Cook, that yields 6.4 TD for the season. In PPR formats, that’s about what Richard Rodgers scored last year as the #11 TE. Cook has upside from there if his Catch Rate and Y/R increase with Rodgers throwing him the ball, though the foot injury is keeping Cook and his quarterback from developing the chemistry necessary for consistent in-season production. If Cook stays healthy and does play starter’s snaps, then he has a great shot at TE1 numbers.
