Scores TD in loss Cook snared two of his five targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-13 loss to the Broncos.

Impact Sunday marked Cook's first touchdown since Week 6 and just his second red-zone target over that stretch as the Chargers have largely utilized Donald Parham and Austin Ekeler near the goal line. The veteran has been a safety net at times for quarterback Justin Herbert, but his meager targets week to week make for inconsistent fantasy value.

Posts 28 yards in win Cook caught three of his five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 41-37 win over the Steelers.

Impact As the veteran tight end continues to age, his fantasy production has significantly decreased. Cook has yet to record more than 70 yards receiving in a game this season and he's been limited to only two touchdowns. The 34-year-old was only on the field for 50 percent of snaps, as young tight end Donald Parham continues to see more usage. With the amount of offensive weapons on the Chargers, Cook's fantasy value certainly seems to fluctuate week to week.

One catch in loss Cook caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's 27-20 loss against the Vikings.

Impact Cook recorded season lows in targets and receiving yards as Justin Herbert struggled to move the ball against the Minnesota secondary. Cook has functioned as an experienced tight end option for Herbert, but he has also struggled with drops (only a 62.2 percent catch rate on the year). Moving forward, Cook figures to remain an unreliable fantasy tight end who is stuck behind a number of other pass catchers.

More work in win Cook caught all four of his targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Eagles. He also caught a two-point conversion.

Impact The veteran tight end saw the entirety of his work come in the first half as the Chargers leaned heavily on Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler to salt away the win. While Cook hasn't seen a substantial workload, he has turned into a comfortable target for Justin Herbert when he's been called upon. That hasn't translated into red-zone looks, but it's put the 34-year-old on pace to surpass Cook's figures during his final season with the Saints.

Struggles in loss Cook totaled two receptions for 25 yards on five targets during Sunday's 27-24 loss against the Patriots.

Impact Cook struggled against the Patriots and managed to command only five targets from quarterback Justin Herbert. Cook was left out of the mix as Herbert primarily relied on Keenan Allen and Austin Ekeler to move the ball. Late in the fourth quarter, Cook was the intended receiver on a pass that was picked off and returned for a touchdown on an obvious route miscommunication. Next week, Cook will face an Eagles defense that has had its struggles defending tight ends, allowing the third-most fantasy points to the position. Cook's low target share (13.5 percent on the year) in an offense that primarily utilizes established receivers Mike Williams and Allen, along with running back Ekeler, makes him a highly touchdown-dependent TE moving forward.

Finds end zone in Week 6 loss Cook caught four of seven targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Cook actually tied with running back Austin Ekeler for the team lead in targets, as quarterback Justin Herbert had no luck pushing the ball downfield. The veteran tight end scored all of Los Angeles' points with a one-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Cook totaled 16 touchdowns over the previous two seasons with the Saints and now has two heading into the Chargers' Week 7 bye.
