3 Bold NFL Predictions for Week 11

Jared Cook Will Outscore Travis Kelce

Why This Is Bold: Travis Kelce is the top-scoring tight end in PPR fantasy leagues this season, and he has a dream matchup this week against the New York Giants, who have allowed a touchdown to opposing tight ends in every single game this season. Additionally, Jared Cook has just one touchdown this season against Kelce's five.

Why This Will Happen: Cook has emerged in recent weeks to become a go-to target for Derek Carr. He's seen at least five targets in each of the last three weeks and has surpassed the 100-yard threshold in two of those three games.

The New England Patriots' defense has improved significantly in recent weeks, but they have still allowed a touchdown to opposing tight ends in five of nine games so far this season.

Cook's six red zone targets so far this year are tied with Michael Crabtree's total and trail Amari Cooper's total by just one. Cook has never been much of a touchdown threat -- he has just 18 touchdowns across a nine-year career -- but touchdowns usually follow targets, and his target share is expanding.
