4. TE Jared Cook vs. the Baltimore Ravens

Jared Cook was held in check last week against the Cleveland Browns, only securing one catch for 29 yards. That is a pretty disappointing finish, considering the Chargers put up nearly 500 yards of offense.

However, the Baltimore Ravens are up next for a surging Los Angeles Chargers team, and the good news for Cook owners is they are near the bottom of the league in covering tight ends.

I expect Cook to rebound and see healthy volume this week, helping him to ascend back into that low-end TE1 category that he has been hovering around all season. Start Cook with a good amount of confidence this week, and consider him in daily lineups as a cheap option with plenty of upside.
