Jared Cook

Jared Cook standing out for Saints this summer

New Orleans Saints tight end Jared Cook is standing out at training camp, per comments from head coach Sean Payton and tight ends coach Dan Campbell.

What It Means:

"I think he’s been a really good addition for us,” Payton praised. Campbell described Cook as a playmaker and commented on his ability to create separation. Saints reporter Mike Triplett of ESPN adds that the 32-year-old has emerged as a "go-to pass catcher" for Drew Brees and that it's "impossible to ignore" his performance at camp. Cook is coming off a career year with the Oakland Raiders and it appears he's making a great first impression in New Orleans.

Cook is among the top-10 tight ends in numberFire's preseason fantasy rankings. Our models have him pegged for 68.3 targets, 50.4 receptions, 707.2 yards, and 5.29 touchdowns.
