Jared Cook, TE

Without Michael Thomas for the majority of the first half of the season, Drew Brees has relied on Jared Cook to be a reliable and consistent target. That has been the case just like the last couple of years between the quarterback and tight end combination.

Throughout his career, Cook has jumped from team to team before finally landing at a home in New Orleans. Since his arrival at Who Dat Nation, Cook has had some of his best seasons in his career in a black and gold uniform.

This year, Cook is the No. 5 receiver in terms of yards and tied for No.4 in terms of targets. He is No. 5 in receptions and No. 4 in terms of receiving touchdowns. All numbers that he has kept up for years with the Saints.

He has totaled 25 receptions on 42 targets for 313 yards and four touchdowns this year. He is on pace to be another valuable asset to the team this year which is needed with his contract coming to the end at the end of the season.
