Free-agent TE Jared Cook (Saints) could be a target for the New England Patriots this offseason, in the opinion of NESN's Zack Cox.
Huddle Up: The Patriots used multiple tight ends this season but none of them posted 200 receiving yards. Cook can still be a productive pass catcher for a team but probably will not be more than a No. 2 fantasy tight end.

New Orleans Saints TE Jared Cook was released Wednesday, March 3.
Huddle Up: Cook was scheduled to be a free agent this offseason, so he can start talking to teams now instead of waiting a few more weeks. He should receive some interest from teams and can be a solid pass catcher for a team. Cook probably will be a No. 2 fantasy tight end in most leagues next season.

New Orleans Saints impending free-agent TE Jared Cook probably will not re-sign with the Saints this offseason because of the team's salary cap situation, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Mike Triplett.
Huddle Up: Cook has caught 16 touchdowns over the last two seasons and can still be a productive tight end for a team. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 or a high-end No. 2 fantasy tight end next season depending on his situation.

New Orleans Saints TE Jared Cook (back) was upgraded to a full practice Friday, Jan. 15, and no longer appears on the injury report for the NFC Divisional Round game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Huddle Up: Cook has established a solid floor over the last three games with Drew Brees getting more comfortable following his return from injury, finishing with either three or four catches and at least 40 yards each time. The 33-year-old posted 5-80-0 (Week 1) and 2-30-0 (Week 9) lines against the Buccaneers earlier this season, inspiring some confidence as a mid-priced DFS play at tight end this weekend.

New Orleans Saints TE Jared Cook caught three of his four targets for 82 yards in a 52-33 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 16.
Huddle Up: It was a season high in receiving yards for Cook, and it ended a streak of seven straight games with less than 50 yards for the veteran tight end. His overall numbers have dipped significantly from last season, but with six scores, he remains a touchdown-dependent streaming option.

New Orleans Saints TE Jared Cook posted two receptions for 29 yards on five targets in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Huddle Up: Cook saw his modest two-game scoring streak come to an end. He has posted 37 or fewer yards in each of his past seven outings, too. He remains nothing more than a TE2 heading into the final two games for fantasy owners. The Saints meet the Vikings on Friday in Week 16.
