The Raiders might be playing their final game at Oakland-Alameda County Stadium, and I like Jared Cook’s chances of coming up big. He’s been awfully good at home this year.
Cook, in fact, I think is probably the most lopsided home-away guy in the league. At least he has been – very consistently.
Cook has played eight games away from home. (That’s including a game in England, which technically was a “home” game for the Raiders.). He averaged only 3 catches for 27 yards in those eight games, with 2 TDs. Under 50 yards in all of them.

But get Cook at home and he’s been pretty consistently awesome. He’s averaged 105 yards in his six games at home, with 4 TDs. Cook has had over 50 yards in all of his games at home.
Cook has been a top-5 type tight end in all but one of his games at home. He caught 4 passes for 52 yards, with no touchdowns, in a game against the Chargers – that was his only so-so effort at home (in all five of the others he either went over 100 yards, scored, or both went over 100 yards and scored).
