No. 6 Jared Cook vs Denver

The return of Jared Cook. I’m here for it. It’s been awhile. We need tight ends! Delanie Walker was unfortunately lost likely for the season Sunday in Miami, so the big tight ends group is taking a hit this week.

Cook was a bright spot for the Raiders in a big way. If the Raiders are determined to try to minimize the Khalil Mack jokes, the offense is going to have to score points. Amari Cooper even said that, before having one catch Monday but still! The offense still has it, Derek Carr will catch flack for his contract which is a little crazy. Last year was rough but they went 12-4 the year prior and only finished poorly because of Carr’s injury.

Cook posted nine catches for 180 yards Monday night in the loss to the Rams and after the Broncos got shredded by Will Dissly, he’s a great start this week.
