Cook caught two of three targets for 30 yards in the Saints' 38-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a disappointing day in the box score for Cook, who saw both Josh Hill and Adam Trautman find the end zone, while his own streak of touchdown scoring came to an end. Cook will look to bounce back Week 10 when the Saints face the 49ers.

Cook caught five of seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
The tight end was second on the Saints in receiving yards behind Alvin Kamara, and Cook found the end zone for the third straight game just before halftime. With the team's receiving corps potentially still depleted in Week 9, he could again see significant volume facing a Buccaneers defense he hauled in a season-high 80 yards against in their first meeting this year.

Cook secured three of four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' 27-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran tight end was in line for a potentially elevated workload Sunday with both Michael Thomas (ankle/hamstring) and Emmanuel Sanders (illness) out of action, but Cook ultimately logged his second-lowest target tally of the campaign. Fortunately, Cook found the end zone for the second consecutive contest, opening the scoring on the afternoon with an excellent contested catch in the right corner of the end zone to cap off a game-opening 14-play, 75-yard drive. Cook should continue to have plenty of fantasy upside Week 8, despite a tough matchup versus the Bears, as Sanders is slated to miss the contest and Thomas reportedly also is in danger of having to sit out.

Cook caught two of three targets for 52 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 30-27 overtime win against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Cook returned from a groin injury to make a huge play Monday, hauling in a 41-yard touchdown to tie the game in the fourth quarter. Although the tight end only caught one other pass, Cook will be pleased by his contribution to his team's victory, and will now embark on New Orleans' bye week to rest up ahead of Week 7's matchup versus Carolina.

Cook (groin) is active for Monday's contest against the Chargers, Amie Just of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook sustained a groin injury Week 3 and didn't practice before he was ruled out for a Week 4 visit to Detroit. With a bit more time to prepare for Week 5, he was listed as a limited participant on all three injury reports before receiving a 'questionable' tag for this game. Now deemed available to the Saints, Cook may be in line for a significant target count with Michael Thomas (ankle/coach's decision) still sidelined. Cook will look to produce against an L.A. defense that has conceded 7.3 YPT and three touchdowns to tight ends this season.

Cook (groin) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Chargers, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook participated in practice, albeit on limited fashion, all week so it seems likely the veteran should be able to return to the field Monday. That thought process was reinforced by Katherine Terrell of The Athletic, although fantasy mangers likely won't know for certain until closer to the 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Expect Adam Trautman and Josh Hill to fill in the void should Cook surprisingly be ruled unable to play.

Cook (groin) was a limited practice participant Friday, Rod Walker of The Times-Picayune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook has now logged back-to-back limited sessions after sitting out entirely last week. It's a sign of progress, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be ready for Monday's game against the Chargers. The Saints will release their final injury report Saturday.

Cook (groin) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Cook suffered a groin injury Week 3 against the Packers and didn't practice before the Saints ruled him out for this past Sunday's game at Detroit. Now back on the field, he'll set his sights on returning to action Monday versus the Chargers. To help his cause, Cook would do well to practice in full Friday and/or Saturday.

Cook (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Lions, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week after exiting in the third quarter of a loss to the Packers on Sunday night. Rookie tight end Adam Trautman played each of the Saints' 12 offensive snaps in the fourth quarter of that game, finishing with two catches for 17 yards on two targets. Veteran tight end Josh Hill could also pick up some of the vacated snaps, but Trautman looks like the better bet to be involved in the passing game. The Saints also ruled out WR Michael Thomas (ankle), LG Andrus Peat (ankle) and three defensive starters, leaving them extremely shorthanded Sunday in Detroit. The only good news is that they'll have an extra day to recover before facing the Chargers on Monday Night Football in Week 5.

Cook (groin) isn't practicing Friday, Katherine Terrell of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cook was removed early from Sunday's loss to the Packers and now has been held out of practice all week. He doesn't seem likely to play in Sunday's game against the Lions, pending the final injury report.
