Jared Cook - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Disastrous performance in loss Cook caught five of seven targets for 28 yards in the Saints' 30-20 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.

Impact His final numbers in the box score were nothing to write home about, but his performance on the field was far more disastrous. Cook was the source of two turnovers in this one, fumbling once and letting one of his seven targets bounce off him for a Tampa Bay interception. Set for free agency this year, it's unclear if Cook will be back in New Orleans, especially given the third-round pick the team spent on Adam Trautman in 2020. If this was indeed Cook's last game as a Saint, he leaves the Big Easy on a sour note.

Brady, Bucs, end playoffs for Saints, Brees, 30-20

Tom Brady’s best game in three tries against New Orleans has the Buccaneers moving on in the NFL playoffs and Saints quarterback Drew Brees headed home — perhaps for good

Good to go Sunday Cook (back) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's playoff game against the Buccaneers after logging a full practice Friday, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Cook was listed as limited Wednesday and Thursday, but his return to a full session Friday paves the way for the Saints' top tight end to handle his usual role in Sunday's divisional-round game. In the team's wild-card win over the Bears last weekend, Cook caught four passes on seven targets for 40 yards.

Limited at practice Cook (back) remained limited Thursday at practice, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Impact Cook showed no sign of any problem in the wild-card win over Chicago, catching four passes for 40 yards on a team-high seven targets. He should be ready for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, though it's possible the Saints list their top tight end on the Friday injury report.

Limited by back injury Cook (back) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Cook has logged at least 48 percent of the offensive snaps in four of the last five games, a span in which he accumulated 16 catches (on 25 targets) for 231 yards and touchdowns. That amounts to a healthy 9.2 yards per target, but now a back issue is impacting his practice reps. Cook has two more chances to prove his health ahead of Sunday's divisional-round game versus the Buccaneers.

Four receptions in Sunday's win Cook corralled four of seven targets for 40 yards in the Saints' 21-9 win over the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Cook tied for team lead in targets, but he was only able to turn them into a scoreless 4-40 receiving line. He's remained involved in the offensive game plan of late, but if Cook isn't scoring, he's typically not doing enough to provide more than middling production for fantasy managers. He'll look to improve on this performance next week against Tampa Bay.

Scores seventh TD in victory Cook caught four of five targets for 43 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 33-7 win over the Panthers.

Impact Cook finished second on the team in targets and receptions while finishing third in receiving yardage. He got the scoring started with an 18-yard touchdown in the first quarter, taking his impressive total to seven for the season. Cook also finishes the campaign with a modest 37 receptions and 504 yards but could take on a more critical role in the wild-card matchup against the Bears, who have been tough on opposing wideouts but susceptible to tight ends.

Game-long grab in win Cook brought in three of four targets for 82 yards in the Saints' 52-33 win over the Vikings on Friday.

Impact The veteran tight end was just a catch and a yard behind Emmanuel Sanders for the team lead in those categories while also tying Marquez Callaway for second in targets. Cook's 44-yard reception early in the fourth quarter was notably the longest of the game for either team and helped set up Alvin Kamara's fifth touchdown of the contest. Cook also recorded a pair of 19-yard grabs for his other two catches of the afternoon while functioning as more of a downfield threat in the absence of Michael Thomas and Tre'Quan Smith, both on injured reserve with ankle sprains. The 33-year-old will look to finish off the regular season strong versus the Panthers in a Week 17 divisional battle.

Scoring streak snapped Cook secured two of five targets for 29 yards in the Saints' 32-29 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.

Impact Cook's scoring streak came to an end after two games, and without the score, his day was noticeably disappointing. In stark contrast to his 2019 late-season surge, Cook is on the decline as the 2020 season wanes. He hasn't logged more than three receptions or 37 receiving yards since Week 8, and his fantasy value is highly dependent on scoring. He'll look to find the end zone Week 16 when the Saints face the Vikings on Christmas.

Scores again in loss Cook caught three of four targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Eagles.

Impact The tight end caught a 20-yard strike from Taysom Hill late in the fourth quarter to bring the Saints to within a field goal, but they couldn't recover the subsequent onside kick. Cook has scored in consecutive games, giving him six TDs on the year, and he may get his number called in the red zone again in Week 15 as New Orleans hosts Patrick Mahomes and the high-octane Kansas City offense.

Rebounds with TD against Falcons Cook secured three of five targets for 28 receiving yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 21-16 win against Atlanta.

Impact The 33-year-old entered Sunday's divisional tilt amidst a dramatic production slump, having posted just one total catch for six yards over his three preceding outings. Cook was held to 30 or fewer receiving yards for a fifth consecutive outing during Week 13, but a second-quarter TD at least gave him a respectable fantasy day among tight ends. Next on the schedule is a road trip to Philadelphia, where Cook will face off against an Eagles defense that ranks fifth worst in the NFL with a 75.3 percent catch rate surrendered to opposing TEs.
