Brady Cook

Last week, Brady Cook looked like a rookie backup thrust into action, completing 46.7% of his passes with 5.4 yards per attempt, two interceptions, zero passing touchdowns, and a 23.3% off-target throw rate. Cook will start for the Jets this week with Tyrod Taylor and Justin Fields hurt. I don't expect Cook to have more luck this week as a basement-level QB 2. Since Week 10, Jacksonville has allowed the second-fewest yards per attempt, the seventh-lowest passer rating, and the eighth-lowest CPOE. During that span, Jacksonville has also had the 11th-best pressure rate.

Brady Cook completed 22 of 33 passes for 176 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions, adding 39 yards on six carries in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Cook will certainly remember Sunday's game, as he threw his first career touchdown pass. However, the growing pains were there for the rookie quarterback throughout the game. If fellow Jets QBs Tyrod Taylor (groin) and Justin Fields (knee) remain out in Week 16, Cook would likely draw another start at New Orleans.
