From everything that I've learned about Cook, the Rams need to utilize him more as a wide receiver, or line him out wide more often. He has the speed to get off the line quick. I guess he was shut out last week because Atlanta knew how stop him by just jamming him at the TE position, cause he's not a physical player. And they double teamed him. They have to mix up the ways he's getting off the ball in order for him to be effective.
The man is not a one week wonder. He better bounce back this week. He has the potential to be a Top 3 TE with Gronk & Graham. But of course they have Brady & Brees throwing to them.

There's a couple guys who had big Weeks 2 I got my eyes on. Miami's TE, Charles Clay, is averaging 16 YPC. Only one TD (goal line rush at that) but I'll that production going into the bye weeks and if keeps up that yardage the scores will follow. Cards' Andre Ellington I added since my RB bench is so skimpy and someone else got Snelling and Starks. Ellington could be what Spiller was a couple seasons ago, change of pace back who can catch and has home run ability. He might not get touches but could go off any given time. Oh yeah, and he is behind Rashard Mendenhall.
I considered giving up Bennet for Cameron but i can't do it yet. MB has 3 touchdowns already.
I'm having trouble determining my flex RB/WR this week. Deandre Hopkins, Lamar Miller, James Starks, Eric Decker or Greg? Jennings
As I've assumed, Decker got the most yards & targets last week, because Manning is the type of leader who wants to build their teammates confidence after a down week. But he doesn't have a TD yet. Their running game was so good last week, Manning didn't have to throw many. And it being the Raiders this week, I see more of the running game again. But still. I'm looking for Decker to get his first TD. I like Decker because Manning is on the field, plain and simple.
I have Hopkins too, but I'm going to wait another week or two to see how he continues to perform. Hopefully he's a revelation. Starks against a physical Bengals D? Meh. I hate Jennings cause of Ponder. Lamar Miller? I honestly don't know much about him.
I'd go Decker.
