Recent Game Summaries

2018 Week 17 vs KC (5 / 3 / 28 / 0 rec)

Cook's season ended in disappointing fashion. Carr mostly looked to Jordy Nel-son on the quick slant routes Cook has had success with this season. Carr was ex-tremely frustrated with Cook on an early interception. With Cook facing single cover-age on the outside, Carr audible from a run play into a quick slant but Cook missed the hand signal. He jogged off the line to block the defender and never even looked at the quarterback. Carr ended up throwing the slant and Cook could only watch in confusion as the safety stepped in front of him, picked it off, and took it the other way for a touchdown. Cook also looked to be the intended target on Carr's second inter-ception. He ran a crossing route and Carr never saw the linebacker who dropped in front of the route. Cook also lost some snaps to Darren Waller. With Cook heading into free agency, the Raiders may choose to go with the younger, cheaper option and allow Cook to finish off his career elsewhere.

2018 Week 16 vs DEN (3 / 2 / 20 / 0 rec)

Cook caught a pair of short swing passes in the first quarter and then wasn't able to come up with the ball on a slant route. He also drew a pass interference penalty early in the second quarter but was a complete afterthought the rest of the way.

2018 Week 15 vs CIN (5 / 2 / 23 / 0 rec)

Cook lined up outside one-on-one with a safety and ran a go route down the right sideline. He had a step on the defender but the throw was too far outside for him to make a play on the ball. Cook picked up 13 yards on a slant lined up wide out left versus safety Shaun Williams.

2018 Week 14 vs PIT (10 / 7 / 116 / 0 rec)

offense. Cook's longest gain of the day came on the second offensive snap. He ran a go route down the sideline and made a nice over the shoulder grab, holding on despite a hit from the safety for a 30-yard gain. The very next play, Cook hauled in a 19-yard gain on a slant route to get Oakland into the red zone. The Raiders were often able to get Cook lined one-on-one with Steelers safety Morgan Burnett and Cook was able to dominate the matchup. He was able to get huge separation on some of his slant and out routes.

2018 Week 13 vs KC (8 / 7 / 100 / 1 rec)

Cook caught a 12-yard pass over the middle. He powered through a couple of defenders to pick up a few extra yards at the end. Cook showed tremendous hands, extending high while in full stride to pull in a fast ball from Carr along the sideline and then turning it up for a 29-yard gain. Cook picked up 20 yards on a catch down the right sideline, hurdling the first defender and stiff-arming the second to pick up a few extra yards at the end of the play. Cook picked up another big chunk gain on a 24-yard touchdown pass. He lined up in the slot and ran straight down the seam, running away from the linebacker in coverage to get wide open in the center of the end zone.

2018 Week 12 vs BAL (5 / 2 / 32 / 1 rec)

Cook had a bad drop along the sideline but Carr went right back to him on a very similar route the very next play and Cook was able to haul it in and explode up the field for a 16-yard gain. Cook made an impressive 25-yard diving catch down the sideline but he was flagged for pushing off. Cook made a spectacular grab for a 16-yard touchdown. He was open on a wheel route down the sideline but Carr threw a bad ball low and outside. Cook had to fall on his back and reach out with one hand to pull It in.

2018 Week 11 vs ARI (6 / 3 / 31 / 1 rec)

On the opening possession of the game, Cook lined up out wide on the right and ran a slant and go. The corner bit hook, line, and sinker on the slant and Cook got wide open for an easy 23-yard touchdown catch. Cook had a drop on a 3rd-down out route to stall a drive. It wouldn't have been an easy catch but definitely one he should have made.

2018 Week 10 vs LAC (9 / 4 / 52 / 0 rec)

Cook had a bad 3rd-down drop on a crossing route that forced the Raiders to settle for a field goal early in the game. He was barely targeted until late in the third quarter but became the go-to guy late in the game. He caught a dump off on third and long, made a man miss but still came up well short of the line to gain. The next drive, he made a nice 3rd-down catch in traffic to keep the chains moving. He got open down the seam for a 31-yard gain, showing the speed that makes him the best offensive weapon on a bad roster.

2018 Week 9 vs SF (2 / 2 / 20 / 0 rec)

Cook had an 11-yard catch and run down the right sideline on the opening play of the game. He also had a 9-yard grab over the middle to pick up a first down on 3rd-and-6 midway through the second quarter. Those were his only two targets on the day.

2018 Week 8 vs IND (5 / 4 / 74 / 1 rec)

Cook made a nice 10-yard catch in traffic over the middle on an early third down to get the Raiders offense moving. He did a nice job running after the catch on a 25-yard touchdown. A pump-fake to the outside froze the defense and helped Cook get wide open on a post route over the middle. He caught the ball in stride near the 10 yard line and was able to turn up field and split a pair of converging defenders to get into the end zone. Cook got behind the defense running a go route from the slot and caught it for a 30-yard gain, slowing and going low to make the catch. It would have been a 52-yard touchdown if Carr would have put more air under it.

2018 Week 6 vs SEA (2 / 2 / 10 / 0 rec)

It was puzzling to see Cook targeted just twice. Especially since he has been playing so well. He showed his power pushing forward for an 8-yard gain on a 3rd-and-7 completion over the middle.

2018 Week 5 vs LAC (6 / 4 / 20 / 0 rec)

Cook had a quiet game but continues to be the go-to guy in the red zone, where he was targeted four times on Sunday On a 1st-and-goal from the 5 yard line, Carr tried to thread it in to him on a quick slant into the end zone despite double coverage, but the play was defended well. He went back to him on second down but again they couldn't connect. In the third quarter, Carr threw an end zone fade to Cook from the 18-yard line. Cook drew a pass interference penalty when the defender pushed him out of bounds while the ball was in the air. Carr picked up a 9-yard gain over the middle and was tackled at the 5-yard line on his fourth red zone target.

2018 Week 4 vs CLE (13 / 8 / 110 / 2 rec)

Cook was the best player on the field for the Raiders. He was consistently able to get open on underneath routes against the notoriously soft Cleveland defense, which drops the safeties way too deep. Cook's size and speed make him a mismatch against single coverage and he has also been doing a great job of finding the soft spots in zone coverage over the middle of the field. Cook scored an 8-yard touchdown on a simple play where he ran to the middle of the end zone and boxed out the defender so Carr could hit him on a back-shoulder throw. He also scored from seven yards out to tie up the game in the final seconds. It was a monster performance for Cook.

2018 Week 3 vs MIA (6 / 5 / 31 / 0 rec)

Cook again played very well and came very close to having a big fantasy game. He twice caught red zone passes and nearly scored. The first came on a well-designed shovel pass on 3rd-and-goal from the nine. Cook had a hole up the middle and dove for the end zone but was ruled down inside the one. Cook later caught a 2nd-and-goal pass off of play action and dove to extend the ball into the end zone. It was initially called a touchdown but review showed the ball just short of the goal line when his knee hit the ground.

2018 Week 2 vs DEN (4 / 4 / 49 / 0 rec)

Cook was only targeted four times (none in the final 20 minutes) but looked great again. He held on despite taking a big hit on a short catch just shy of the end zone early and also showed his toughness on a powerful catch and run to open the second half. The biggest difference in his game this season compared to last season is that he seems to be playing with more physicality now. While it was a relatively quiet game, expect Cook to remain one of the primary weapons for the Raiders going forward.

2018 Week 1 vs LAR (12 / 9 / 180 / 0 rec)

Cook took on a starring role against the Rams. His 180 receiving yards were the most for a tight end in Raiders history. The Rams played mostly man defense throughout the night, which left Carr to target whichever pass catcher had the most favorable one-on-one matchup. Most of the time, it was Cook matched up against a safety while Cooper and Nelson faced elite cornerbacks. Cook dominated from the first drive. He lined up in the slot on the first drive, caught a slant and sprinted past the safety for a 45-yard gain. Cook still has elite speed even at age 31. It was just the first of many big plays. Cook ran a deep out route and snagged a 28-yard reception along the sideline despite being held. He also had big gains of 11, 14, and 32 yards with the latter two coming on passes down the seam. Carr was intercepted twice while targeting Cook, however. The first came on an end zone target from 21 yards out. Cook ran a fade route and had a step on the defender but the ball was badly under thrown. The second came near the end of the game on a crossing route when Marcus Peters jumped the route and beat Cook to the spot.

Latest News

Bills | Buffalo could target veteran pass catchers (Fri Feb 8, 01:24 AM) - The Buffalo Bills may be interested in signing someone like Philadelphia Eagles WR Golden Tate, Dallas Cowboys WR Cole Beasley or Oakland Raiders TE Jared Cook in free agency, in the opinion of Forbes' Curtis Rush.

Our View: The Bills have a young group of receivers, led by Zay Jones and Robert Foster. Perhaps adding some veteran depth to that room would help. They could also use a veteran tight end, perhaps like Cook, since Charles Clay isn't getting any younger.
