Week 5 Start Em Sit Em: Jared Cook and the 4 TEs You Must Start

Tennessee Titans tight end Jared Cook is ready to break out in the world of fantasy football. 

Yesterday, I wrote this article on why NFL fans and fantasy owners need to study up on the third-year pro from South Carolina. 

He's the ideal pass-catching tight end. 

We haven't seen a big statistical game in terms of catches from Cook yet, but I think that's on the horizon. 

Here are four tight ends you must start this week.

Jared Cook 

Cook has only seven catches on the season, but he displayed his explosiveness and wide receiver-like acceleration on his long touchdown last week. 

With Kenny Britt done for the year, expect Cook's targets to increase each week. 

The Steelers have surrendered some solid games to tight ends this season (Ed Dickson and Owen Daniels), so Cook is surprisingly a great start this week. 

Owen Daniels

A lot of people have Jacoby Jones as the primary target with Andre Johnson sidelined—I have Daniels as Schaub's new go-to guy. 

Daniels already has 14 catches for 182 yards and three touchdowns and, similar to Cook, his targets will also increase without his team's best pass-catcher in the lineup.

Oakland's secondary has been torn apart by all the quarterbacks it has faced, and I envision Schaub to keep that trend going in Week 5. 

Jimmy Graham 

Graham is another college basketball player who's turned out to be the type of athlete that cannot be covered in the NFL. 

Too big for corners and far too fast for linebackers with outstanding leaping ability and great hands. 

What more could you want?

This Panthers/Saints game should feature a lot of offense, and Graham leads all tight ends with 36 targets so far this season. 

The best start this week. 

Jermichael Finley

Like Finley isn't a start every week.

This just serves as a reminder. 

Finley is a matchup nightmare, and the Falcons secondary has been its weak link this year.

Aaron Rodgers spreads the ball around better than any quarterback, but expect Finley to especially get looks in the red zone, where he's arguably most dangerous.
