If Rodgers holds down the starting job, he is a steal at his current ADP in deep leagues.

Rationally, no it isn't a foregone conclusion. However, at the spot Cooks is available it's too much fun.

Denny Carter of Living the Stream is pushing Jared hard. With the garbage QBs he has had over his career, he's still posted a much better average yards per target than Rogers. GB coaching/management specifically mentioned in the offseason that GB needed a guy that win deep in the middle of the field. GB rarely brings in FA so it is likely they have a real plan for Cook. That's his basic argument.

Started Cook over Dwayne Allen ugh. Did he even get many targets?

Brutal, I bought into the hype instead of trusting myself with Dwayne Allen who I've been preaching all off-season.

Yes, but he split snaps with Richard Rodgers and I think it's clear the Packers still want Davante Adams to be heavily involved. Best case scenario, Cook is the 4th option. We could see a few breakout games but I'm not sure he'll be a consistent low-end TE1.

were people drafting cook to be a low end te1? that's their wrong, not cooks.

A few preseason articles compared his potential impact to what Jermichael Finley once was for Rodgers.

I was expecting a lot more, pretty disappointed right now.

I would definitely hold on him - there's upside there.

Let's over react to week 1 out comes shall we? Hopefully you drafted him as a a TE2 and are willing to see how things play out if not, by all means follow Flap's advice.

Seeing as he got a grand total of .70 in my standard league, even if he got ten times that he would still "only" be barely startable. LOL.
But I am assuming you posted that with a bit of sarcasm.
In a weird set of circumstances, I actually ended up with Cook in my biggest money league, at the tail end of the draft.
So I gave him the obligatory "1 week roll out" , and then I gave him the mandatory drop to the waiver wire.
I hope he blows up.....and he just might, he just won't be doing it on my team.
I will start Kyle Rudolph, and the truth is, I will sleep better at night because of it.
In 2 or 3 weeks when the bye weeks begin, I will snag someone slightly less brutal. Barnidge was just dropped in that very league, but I will wait for waivers to clear. I am not using up priority for him either. If I get him great, and if I don't...thats great too~!
Its not like Barnidge is something I want to be hinging my fantasy season on.

Totally agree, Cook is about to blow up.TZMarkie said:

Reportedly not pass protecting particularly well.
I like the kid, great name, could be solid. Not saying he's a bad pickup, but if he doesn't clean that up he won't be out there at that high of a % looking ahead.

Fair point, but he solidly outplayed and outproduced Cook week 1 which is very very impressive.
Hot Sauce Guy

Neither had earth shattering weeks - Cook was just nonexistent.
I expect GB to start working him in more. There was too much positive in the preseason - the chemistry was there.
I'm holding for one more week - Cook was a FA pickup after my draft and my TE2. If I have to cut bait after this week I will. I still believe there's upside.

If Cook has a bad game this week,almost everyone will be dumping him.Then he blows up in week 3,and everyone rushes to the waiver to get him again...the he sucks for 2-3 more weeks,gets dumped again,has another big game,get picked back up and so on...I think He'll be a hit or miss all year and a waste of a bench spot for a more productive TE on a weekly basis. Great athlete,just not a good football player! I'm not wasting my time on Cooks ever again. I've gotten suckered in too many times,thinking this might be the year. No Thanks!

I didn't intentionally avoid him, but when it came time for me to get a second TE late in a draft or for a buck or two in auctions, I was going for Jesse James or Virgil Green, not this perennial bust who cannot catch the ball.

Knowing Murphys law of attraction Jered Cook will likely have his best game of the season against the Vikings even though objective analysis of the situation and match up suggests he won't. Simply because I am talking smack about him.

He was a bad start but I started Fleener so I am not overly picky at this point...
Cook did draw a 30 yard PI call but I couldn't find a replay so not sure if it should have/would have been a catch.

IMO He is looking at 3-7 targets a game all year. Depending on how good the other team's corners are and how slow their linebackers are, he will get more.
He almost hauled in a 40 yard pass in the last game. The coverage was very good. The pass was just a little too far. If he had caught the ball it would have been a great catch. I don't fault him at all for the miss, but where would this conversation be if he makes that one catch?
He has one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time in his prime throwing him the ball. 1 or 2 injuries, and he gets the GOAT's regular radar.
Sometimes you just have to give time time.
