Cook scored his second touchdown in his last three games in the Chargers’ last outing, a Week 6 loss the Ravens He caught four passes on seven targets for 25 yards to with the touchdown. There has been some talk that tight end Donald Parham could start seeing more catches for the Chargers, but so far, that’s not happened.

The Patriots are allowing an average of just over seven points per game to opposing tight ends. Cook’s still a decent starting option if you don’t have one of the better players at his position, but his ceiling in this one is a little lower than usual.
