Jared Cook, TE, Oakland Raiders

Price: $5,000

Jared Cook isn't exactly flying under the radar after turning 12 targets into 9 receptions, 180 yards and a TE1-worthy 18 fantasy points on Monday night. His price tag doesn't reflect that huge outing, though, especially when you consider that it was elite volume, not a couple fluky touchdowns that drove his fantasy score.

Cook was one of only two Raiders players to see even 5 targets in Week 1, and his 30% market share was good for 1st among tight ends, as well as 12th among all players.

Yes, the Oakland offense looked bad, and yes, the Denver Broncos have a good pass defense. So did the Los Angeles Rams, though, and Cook's volume was still enough to earn him a great fantasy score, because once again, volume is what counts.

The Broncos also looked vulnerable against tight ends last week, having allowed the week's TE2 performance (16.5 FanDuel points) to none other than Will Dissly.
