Jared Cook needs more owners

Among the tight ends who have been active for all of their team's games this season, the leaders in targets per game are Jimmy Graham and Greg Olsen. Bet you'll never guess who's third.

Actually, it's not so tough. You're looking at him right now.

For the third straight game, Jared Cook set a season high in targets with 11 Week 6 against San Francisco, and this time, he got the yardage to back it up, going for 74 on four catches. It was just his second game with more than 60 yards, but he has a respectable 12.8 yards per catch.

The problem is his reception-to-target rate is low. Tight ends are usually targeted on underneath stuff, giving them a high conversion rate, but Cook seems to be an exception to the rule.

I say that evens out eventually. Cook has gotten at least eight targets in four of the Rams' first five games. Austin Davis clearly likes throwing him the ball. Sooner or later, he's going to capitalize.

He might even be a worthy short-term replacement for Graham owners. True, the Rams host the Seahawks in Week 7, but that's not as bad of a matchup as it seems. The Seahawks have allowed the third-most Fantasy points per game to tight ends this season.
