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.
Jared Cook 2018 Outlook
Cook led the Raiders in receiving last season with 688 yards and could be a serious threat again this season. According to Fansided.com's Thomas Wheaton, although it was a down year for wideouts Michael Crabtree and Amari Cooper, QB Derek Carr and Cook seemed to have some nice chemistry. Case in point was a Thursday night game against the Chiefs, during which Carr trusted Cook to come down with a grab that put the Raiders on the doorstep of the end zone. Wheaton believes that kind of trust, especially in the red zone, is key for the success of NFL tight ends. Now that Cook and Carr have a year together under their belt, and Cook has shown his worth as a legitimate pass-catching threat, Wheaton is confident that Cook's role remains clear. With the added deep-threat in Martavis Bryant, the middle of the field will be more open for Cook to find space. Wheaton summed up, "(New HC Jon) Gruden surely will have a field day drawing up plays for Cook, and as a result, Cook will again have a very successful season." Fantasy owners take note.
