Oakland Raiders TE Jared Cook will be a matchup problem over the middle and help create space for the rest of the offensive playmakers, according to quarterbacks coach Todd Downing. "He's a matchup nightmare for linebackers and most safeties," Downing said. "He really brings a sense in the passing game of a mismatch that we can count on week in and week out."

Fantasy Tip: There is no denying that Cook has the physical tools to be a weapon in the passing game, but consistent production has eluded him throughout his career. Consider him a high-upside TE2.

Oakland Raiders TE Jared Cook said his plan is to "make plays and catch touchdowns" for his new team.

Fantasy Tip: Cook has the most upside among Oakland's tight ends, but consistent production has always been an issue. Even if he starts, he should be drafted as a TE2.

Updating a previous report, Oakland Raiders TE Jared Cook's contract is two years in length and worth $12.2 million, according to a source. The first year of the deal is fully guaranteed.

Fantasy Tip: As stated earlier, Cook remains a TE2 despite potentially being the Raiders' starting tight end.

Free-agent TE Jared Cook (Packers) will sign an undisclosed deal with the Oakland Raiders, according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: Cook will be an underrated weapon in Oakland's offense, assuming he starts ahead of Clive Walford and Mychal Rivera. He has the potential to turn into Derek Carr's safety blanket and go-to red-zone target, but don't assume that will happen. Amari Cooper and Michael Crabtree will continue to see most of Carr's throws. Cook remains in backup fantasy tight end territory for now.

Free-agent TE Jared Cook (Packers) is expected to meet with the Oakland Raiders if he does not sign with the Minnesota Vikings.

Fantasy Tip: This landing spot would make more sense for Cook. He would be competing for the starting job with Clive Walford and Mychal Rivera. Even if that job is won, however, he would likely still be sharing the field with Walford and Rivera. The most likely case is that Cook will be a backup fantasy tight end wherever he lands.

Free-agent TE Jared Cook (Packers) will meet with the Minnesota Vikings following his visit with the Seattle Seahawks, according to a source. That is unless Cook signs a deal in Seattle.

Fantasy Tip: Cook would play second fiddle to Kyle Rudolph if he were to sign with the Vikings. Backing up Rudolph would obviously limit Cooks' fantasy value and easily keep him out of TE1 territory.

Free-agent TE Jared Cook (Packers) is scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources.

Fantasy Tip: Cook will have a new team this offseason and the Seahawks are his first visit. The Seahawks have Jimmy Graham on the roster but may want to use two tight ends in their passing game. Cook's value probably would drop a bit if he signs with Seattle but probably should be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end if he starts for a team.

Free-agent TE Jared Cook (Packers) does not plan to re-sign with the Green Bay Packers, according to a source.

Fantasy Tip: Cook should be able to find a starting job with a team this offseason and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end depending on his team. Richard Rodgers appears to be the leading candidate to start for the Packers but is only a No. 2 fantasy tight end.

Free-agent TE Jared Cook (Packers) has had contract talks with the Green Bay Packers broken off Friday, March 10, according to a source. He'll visit other teams.

Fantasy Tip: Cook is probably as physically talented as almost any tight end, but it just hasn't come together. He's a TE2 option wherever he lands.

Impending free-agent TE Jared Cook (Packers) is still in talks with the Green Bay Packers about returning, but there hasn't been much progress because the franchise are "being frugal", according to Bleacher Report's Jason Cole.

Fantasy Tip: It isn't overly surprising general manager Ted Thompson is taking this approach, as Cook is 30 years old with a long injury history and should be willing to accept a team-friendly contract in order to keep their Rodgers as his quarterback. Assuming Cook accepts a short-term deal with the Packers in the coming days, he could flirt with low-end TE1 status when healthy.
