Jared Cook 2021 Outlook
Cook agreed to terms with Los Angeles on a one-year deal worth $6 million (with $4.5 million in fully guaranteed money) this offseason after spending the last two seasons with the Saints. Cook has played for five teams in his 12 years in the NFL, catching 505 passes for 6,673 yards and 41 touchdowns, carving out a very solid professional career. 2020 saw Cook post his lowest receptions and yardage totals since his one-year stint in Green Bay in 2016, lending some justification to the thought his best days might be behind him. Still, over the last four seasons Cook has produced 8+ yards per target and a better-than 60 percent catch completion rate. Beyond that, Cook will bring a veteran presence and professional experience to the Chargers, where he'll be expected to serve as second-year quarterback Justin Herbert's best friend as a pass-catcher and security blanket. Also a positive, Cook goes from one productive offense to another, landing with the NFL's sixth-best passing offense in 2020 and joining promising youngster Donald Parham to give the Chargers a strong pair of red-zone threats at the position.

Jared Cook 2020 Outlook
Saints TE Dan Campbell recently called Cook a "matchup nightmare" for opposing defenses. Campbell went on to say that heading into the 2020 NFL season the "sky's the limit" for Cook despite an up-and-down 2019 campaign, his first year with the Saints. Cook got off to a sluggish start in New Orleans. He recorded just eight catches and had no touchdowns across his first four appearances last season. The 33-year-old started to carve out a niche for himself in the team's high-powered offense as the year went on, however, and he finished with a flourish, scoring five touchdowns across New Orleans' final four regular-season games. Cook finished the season with career highs in yards per reception (16.4) and touchdowns (nine) off 43 catches. From a fantasy perspective, Cook scored 10-plus points eight times, including two games with over 20 points despite scoring fewer than six fantasy points in each of his first four games. The big issue? Cook won't ever be a high-volume target in New Orleans as long as wide receiver Michael Thomas is healthy. The Saints also signed two-time Pro Bowl receiver Emmanuel Sanders (66 receptions last season) in April, which will further cut into Cook's target share. All that said, he can still be a crucial asset on third down and in the red zone, though.

Jared Cook 2019 Outlook
Cook is coming off a career-year with the Oakland Raiders. As Derek Carr's top pass-catching target last season, Cook corralled 68 passes for 896 yards and six touchdowns. Adding him as a free agent was a coup for the Saints, who have struggled the past few seasons to find consistent receiving weapons for Drew Brees not named Michael Thomas. As NFL.com's Kevin Patra noted, Cook provides the Saints with a seam-stretching weapon over the middle who can win one-on-one matchups with linebackers and safeties. New Orleans has been starving for dynamic production from the tight end position since trading Jimmy Graham back in 2015. Josh Hill never morphed into the playmaker Sean Payton hyped about for years. Coby Fleener disappointed. And Benjamin Watson, while solid, wasn't a matchup problem for defenses. Watson's “retirement” at the end of 2018 left a big void at the position for New Orleans once again. Cook's addition more than fills that hole and massively upgrades the Saints' offense. Per ESPN's Mike Clay, if we count only the weeks he was active, Cook has averaged target shares between 16 and 18 percent each of the past seven seasons. That's as consistent as you'll find in the NFL. Moving from Carr to Brees is a clear upgrade, and the lack of high-end wideouts beyond Thomas also works in Cook's favor here.
