Jared Cook, TE, Green Bay Packers

Here we go again.

Jared Cook didn't work out too well in Week 1 as he saw only two targets, but he was more involved in the Green Bay Packers' passing attack in Week 2, getting 6 of the team's 35 targets.

The Packers have the second-highest implied total this week (27.75) for their clash with the Detroit Lions. Detroit's defense has allowed a league-high 29.45 fantasy points to opposing tight ends, giving up 15 receptions for 179 yards and 4 touchdowns through 2 games.

Cook was on the field more in Week 2 than he was in Week 1, seeing his share of the Packers' offensive snaps jump from 52% to 65%. That increased usage combined with a very attractive matchup gives Cook some serious fantasy potential in Week 3.
