Jared Cook (TE, SD) - Waiver Wire Analysis

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 18% of Fleaflicker leagues ANALYSIS: Cook is always a name that is extremely inconsistent in terms of fantasy play.

BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper PPR Leagues OWNED IN: 37% of FleaFlicker leagues ANALYSIS: This is a truly desperate play, but with Dez Bryant out Dallas is going to have to find other ways to move the ball through the air.
