News

  • Returning to Las Vegas

    Cole re-signed with the Raiders on a one-year deal Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Cole will return to Las Vegas, where he produced the worst season of his career last year, as the 29-year-old logged 10 catches, 141 yards and a touchdown on 21 targets, all of which were career lows. The former Jaguar and Jet will look to bounce back next season, or he could find himself at risk of not making the final roster in a crowded receiver room.

  • Career-low 10 receptions with LV

    Cole caught one of two targets for five yards in the Raiders' regular-season finale, finishing his 2022 campaign with 10 receptions for 141 yards and one touchdown on 21 targets in 14 games.

    Analysis: Cole reverted to a bench role late in the season upon fellow slot man Hunter Renfrow's return from injured reserve, and the former caught just four total passes for 44 yards across Weeks 10-14 despite logging at least 29 offensive snaps in each contest during that stretch. Cole will turn 30 years old this offseason as he hits free agency, so there's certainly no guarantee that he'll be back with the Raiders in 2023.

  • Hauls in clutch touchdown

    Cole caught both his targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: New England focused on shutting down Davante Adams and succeeded, holding him to four catches for 28 yards, but Derek Carr turned to other options instead and made Cole a surprise hero when the duo connected on a game-tying 30-yard TD -- Cole's first score of the season -- with only 32 seconds left in the fourth quarter. It's only the third time all season Cole has caught more than one pass in a game, and he has yet to haul in more than two. With Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller both returning…read more

  • Likely to lose out on regular snaps

    Cole is expected to move out of a regular role in three-receiver sets Sunday against the Patriots after the Raiders reinstated Hunter Renfrow (oblique) from injured reserve Saturday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Assuming he's not facing any significant snap-count restriction Sunday in his return from a five-game absence, Renfrow should operate as the Raiders' primary slot man, while Davante Adams and Mack Hollins serve as Las Vegas' main options out wide. During Renfrow's absence, Cole didn't make much of a mark in the box score; despite playing at least 50 percent of the snaps on offense in each of the past five games, he averaged just 1.4 targets per contest.

  • Targeted once in loss

    Cole caught his only target for 11 yards in Thursday's 17-16 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Cole's lack of productivity continued as the Raiders' entire passing game struggled against the Rams, with quarterback Derek Carr completing just 11 of 20 pass attempts for 137 yards to go along with a pair of interceptions. Cole's offensive snap count could decrease dramatically Week 15 against the Patriots if fellow slot receiver Hunter Renfrow (oblique) manages to return from injured reserve.

  • Catchless versus Chargers

    Cole was not targeted in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Cole failed to make an impact Sunday despite playing more than half of the Raiders' 61 offensive snaps. In the full-time slot role, he's caught just three passes for 33 yards on six targets in four games since Hunter Renfrow's (oblique) placement on injured reserve. Renfrow is eligible to return from IR on Thursday against the Rams, but his availability is uncertain with it being a short week.

  • Two catches in overtime win

    Cole caught two passes on as many targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime win over the Seahawks. He also returned three punts for 11 yards.

    Analysis: Cole continues to see a healthy offensive snap count in the Raiders' slot role with Hunter Renfrow (oblique) sidelined on injured reserve, but Cole's increased playing time has translated to just three catches for 33 yards on six targets over the past three weeks. Renfrow isn't eligible to return until Week 14, so Cole figures to remain directly behind fellow wide receivers Davante Adams and Mack Hollins when the Chargers travel to Las Vegas this week.

  • Makes one grab in victory

    Cole caught one of two targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 22-16 overtime win over the Broncos. He also returned four punts for 28 yards.

    Analysis: Despite playing more than 40 offensive snaps again this week, Cole was held without a catch until the Raiders' final drive in regulation. Meanwhile, fellow receivers Davante Adams and Mack Hollins combined for 13 receptions on 22 targets for 193 yards and two scores. Expect Cole to continue occupying the slot against the Seahawks in Week 12.

  • Zero catches despite 48 snaps

    Cole was held without a catch on two targets in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Cole was limited by a minor knee injury before returning to full participation in practice this past Thursday, but he managed to play north of 40 offensive snaps Sunday for the first time since Week 4, occupying the slot with Hunter Renfrow (oblique) on injured reserve. Cole's additional playing time didn't translate to production, however, while Davante Adams and Mack Hollins combined to see 20 targets from quarterback Derek Carr. Cole likely retains a similar role again Week 11 in Denver, but…read more

  • Returns to full practice

    Cole (knee) practiced fully Thursday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

    Analysis: Cole was limited Wednesday, but his return to a full session Thursday puts him in line to suit up Sunday against the Colts. With both TE Darren Waller (hamstring) and WR Hunter Renfrow (hamstring/ribs) having landed on IR, there's now added snaps and targets available in the Raiders' passing game. With that in mind, Cole could see added opportunities in the coming weeks, though he'll have to compete with Mack Hollins and DJ Turner for the wide receiver looks that don't go in the direction of…read more

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Cole is suffering from a knee injury and was limited at practice Wednesday, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cole presumably suffered the injury in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville, when he logged nine offensive snaps but didn't see any targets or touches. The veteran wideout has played in five games this season but has tallied only three catches for 42 yards. The limited practice session Wednesday gives Cole a fair chance of playing this Sunday versus Indianapolis, but he's not expected to be a significant factor if he does take the field.

  • Targeted five times Sunday

    Cole caught two of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 24-0 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Cole was mostly uninvolved until the Raiders' final drive when he saw four of his five targets from backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham in garbage time. Cole figures to remain behind Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Mack Hollins in the pecking order at wide receiver against the Jaguars in Week 9.

  • Late end-zone drop Sunday

    Cole caught one pass for 12 yards on four targets in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Titans. He also returned one punt for 13 yards.

    Analysis: Cole played 40 of 70 offensive snaps as he filled the slot role with Hunter Renfrow (concussion) sidelined, but the former hauled in only one of his four targets and he dropped a would-be touchdown in the end zone late in the fourth quarter. Cole's playing time figures to decrease significantly upon Renfrow's eventual return, which could come Week 4 against the Broncos.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Raiders signed Cole to their active roster Wednesday.

    Analysis: Cole landed a practice-squad deal with Las Vegas after being released by the Raiders ahead of the 53-man roster deadline, but he now finds himself on the active roster after the team placed DJ Turner (ankle) on IR. Cole, an undrafted wideout out of Kentucky Wesleyan, has eclipsed 350 receiving yards in each of his first five NFL seasons, but it'll be difficult for him to garner many targets behind Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller.

  • Signs practice-squad deal

    The Raiders signed Cole to their practice squad Tuesday.

    Analysis: Cole was released by the Raiders ahead of the 53-man roster deadline but will return to the organization on a practice-squad deal. The undrafted wideout has eclipsed 350 receiving yards in each of his first five seasons in the NFL, so he'll be a likely candidate for elevation on a weekly basis, though it'll be difficult to garner many targets behind Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller.

  • Released by Vegas

    The Raiders released Cole on Tuesday, Vic Tafur of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Fellow veterans Mack Hollins and Tyron Johnson seem to have beat out Cole for depth WR spots on the team's initial 53-man roster. Their preseason usage suggests Hollins could be the No. 3 receiver to start the year, but it isn't a role that figures to involve many targets given that Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow and Darren Waller (hamstring) all need to be fed. Cole is 29, but he could find work elsewhere given that he's eclipsed 350 receiving yards five times in five seasons since entering the…read more

  • Finds end zone in loss

    Cole caught all three of his targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-10 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: His 40-yard TD catch in the second quarter was the only real highlight on the day for the Jets, and Cole wound up being the only New York player with more than one reception. It was the 28-year-old's first touchdown of the season, and he wraps up the campaign with 28 catches on 51 targets for 449 yards, numbers that likely won't attract more than mild interest on the free-agent market this offseason.

  • Two catches in Week 17

    Cole caught two of five targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 28-24 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Cole has't caught more than two passes or reached 30 yards in a game since Week 9. Even with the Jets banged up at wide receiver around him, Cole won't be an advisable fantasy option in Week 18 against the Bills.

  • Another quiet outing

    Cole caught both of his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 26-21 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Cole occupied a starting role on the outside but didn't make much of an impact in the revenge game against his former team, as the Jets ran for 273 yards and passed for only 100 in the win. With only four catches in his last three games, Cole has failed to take advantage of his hefty recent snap share, and that's unlikely to change in Week 17 against Tampa Bay.

  • Held to one catch again

    Cole caught one of two targets for nine yards and threw an incomplete pass in Sunday's 31-24 loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Cole tried to throw it to quarterback Zach Wilson on a trick play, but the play ended up being incomplete. The veteran wideout has just one catch in each of the past two games, but he continues to see the field often with Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) both out. Maybe that playing time will result in more production when the 2-12 Jaguars come to town in Week 16.

  • Struggles in starting role

    Cole caught one of six targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 30-9 loss to New Orleans.

    Analysis: Cole got the start on the outside with both Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps) sidelined, but he didn't do much with the opportunity. While he should maintain the starting role in Week 15 against the Dolphins, getting open won't be easy against star cornerback Xavien Howard.

  • In line for increased role

    Cole is set to see an expanded role in the Jets' offense in Sunday's matchup against the Saints after Elijah Moore (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Moore will be sidelined for at least three next three games, while the Jets' No. 1 receiver to open 2021, Corey Davis (groin), will remain on injured reserve for the rest of the season. The absences of Moore and Davis leaves Jamison Crowder as the only healthy starting receiver, so both he and Cole should be in store for elevated profiles in the passing attack. In 10 games this season, Cole has reached five targets only three times and topped 50 yards in a game only twice.

  • Back at practice

    Cole (illness) is scheduled to practice Wednesday with the Jets activating him from the reserve/COVID-19 list, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cole's return to the mix arrives at an opportune time, as he's expected to slide into a starting role on the perimeter opposite Elijah Moore (quadriceps) after No. 1 wideout Corey Davis (groin) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday with a season-ending injury that requires surgery, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com. Davis' absence was already expected to translate to more playing time and targets for Cole, but his role in the passing attack could grow larger Sunday against the Saints if…read more

  • Likely out for Week 13

    Jets head coach Robert Saleh said Wednesday that Cole isn't in line to be available for Sunday's game against the Eagles after having been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Jets will be down Cole for Week 13, but Denzel Mims' expected return from the reserve/COVID-19 list will help restore depth at receiver. Assuming Cole is able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 protocols on a normal timeline, he should be available for the Jets' Week 14 game against the Saints on Dec. 12.

    The Jets have placed Cole on their reserve/COVID-19 list, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Cole is coming off an outing in which he recorded two receptions for 24 yards in the Jets 21-14 victory over Houston. He saw extra time on the field due to Corey Davis (groin) being sidelined. The 28-year-old will now need to pass the league's COVID protocols before getting clearance to return.

  • Two catches with Davis out

    Cole caught both of his targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over Houston.

    Analysis: Cole saw modest involvement, even with Corey Davis (groin) unavailable. His depth role in an up-and-down Jets offense limits Cole's fantasy appeal.

  • No catches in Week 11

    Cole failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 24-17 loss to Miami.

    Analysis: With Elijah Moore grabbing the starting spot opposite Corey Davis by the horns with his recent production and Jamison Crowder locked in as the slot receiver, Cole has seen sparse usage of late. His role is unlikely to change as long as New York's top three wide receivers are healthy.

  • Just one catch in Davis' return

    Cole caught one of five targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 45-17 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: The entire Jets offense struggled as Mike White plummeted back down to earth with no touchdowns and four interceptions. With Corey Davis (hip) back in the fold, Cole was relegated to a reserve role, so he likely wouldn't have found significantly more success even if White had played better.

  • Solid yardage total in loss

    Cole brought in five of eight targets for 66 yards in the Jets' 45-30 loss to the Colts on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The veteran wideout checked in second on the night in receptions and receiving yards to Elijah Moore while sharing the team lead in targets with the rookie. Cole was also the intended receiver on Josh Johnson's last pass of the night, which was tipped at the line and led to a game-sealing interception for the Colts. Cole's reception and target tallies were season highs, but he has a tough matchup versus the Bills stingy secondary awaiting him in Week 10.

  • Has spectacular TD called back

    Cole caught three of five targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Cole thought he had made a spectacular catch to score a 12-yard touchdown in the final minute of the first half that conjured memories of Odell Beckham's 2015 touchdown against the Cowboys, only to watch the play get wiped out after a review concluded he failed to secure possession inbounds. Outside of that moment, Cole didn't make much of his increased role with Corey Davis (hip) sidelined, but he the veteran wideout could get another such opportunity if Davis doesn't heal up in time to return…read more

    Cole caught one of two targets for six yards in Sunday's 54-13 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Outside of a 92-yard performance in the Jets' Week 4 win over the Titans, Cole has just 74 receiving yards this season. Cole's depth role on one of the league's least effective offenses rarely translates to fantasy success.

    Cole caught two of three targets for 38 yards in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Cole actually came just seven receiving yards short of Corey Davis' team-leading total, as the Jets struggled to move the ball through the air. He was on the field for 31 of New York's 56 offensive snaps, trailing Davis and slot receiver Jamison Crowder but notably finishing ahead of rookie Elijah Moore (23). New York's Week 6 bye will present further opportunities to integrate Moore into the offense, and it wouldn't be surprising to see Moore's playing time climb at Cole's expense once the…read more

  • Piles up 92 yards

    Cole caught three of four targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime win over the Titans.

    Analysis: Cole was more involved with fellow wide receiver Elijah Moore (concussion) sitting this one out. The veteran wideout tied tight end Ryan Griffin for third on the team in targets with four, but Cole made the most of his opportunities. He caught a perfectly placed 54-yard pass from quarterback Zach Wilson in the third quarter before adding catches of nine and 29 yards in overtime.

    Cole caught both of his targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 26-0 loss to Denver.

    Analysis: Cole registered his first two receptions as a member of the Jets. The veteran wide receiver produced New York's longest offensive play (23 yards) and finished just 11 receiving yards shy of Corey Davis' team-leading total, as rookie quarterback Zach Wilson threw for just 160 yards in the shutout loss. Playing time shouldn't be an issue for Cole since Elijah Moore exited this one with a concussion and Denzel Mims has been a healthy scratch two weeks in a row, but Cole's value remains limited…read more

    Cole (knee) wasn't targeted in Sunday's 25-6 loss to New England.

    Analysis: Cole suited up after missing the season opener, but his lack of involvement suggests he's still feeling the effects of his knee injury. If Cole's able to increase his practice participation in the upcoming week, he'll likely be more involved in the game plan against the Broncos in Week 3.

  • Game-time call against Pats

    Cole (knee) logged a third consecutive limited practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game against New England, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cole has been limited all week after missing the season opener due to this knee injury. He's expected to start on the outside if cleared to play against the Patriots after rookie second-round pick Elijah Moore flopped in his NFL debut while helping fill in for Cole and Jamison Crowder (groin) in Week 1 against the Panthers. Cimini relays that coach Robert Saleh sounded optimistic about the status of both Cole and Crowder, despite suggesting that the two profile as game-time decisions.

    Cole (knee) remained limited at practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Meanwhile, fellow WR Jamison Crowder came off the reserve/COVID-19 list but was limited Thursday due to a groin injury. Friday's practice therefore will determine if the duo, who missed Week 1 action, will approach Sunday's game against the Patriots with any sort of injury designation. If both players are available this weekend, Elijah Moore and Braxton Berrios likely would see reduced roles Week 2.

  • Limited at practice

    Cole (knee) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports.

    Analysis: Cole was added to the injury report last Thursday and ended up being a game-time decision before being on the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 19-14 loss to the Panthers. He now looks questionable for Week 2 against the Patriots, while slot man Jamison Crowder is expected to come off the reserve/COVID-19 list at some point this week. Cole likely will be the third or fourth option at wideout if and when everyone is healthy, depending on the progress of young receivers Elijah Moore and Denzel Mims.

  • Expected to practice

    Cole (knee) is on track to return to practice this week, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: The Jets are also expected to get Jamison Crowder (illness) back in action, after he and Cole were both sidelined for the team's Week 1 loss to the Panthers. Wednesday's practice report will provide added context with regard to where Cole is at in his recovery from a knee issue that kept him out for the opener.

  • Sitting out Week 1

    Cole (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Randy Lange of the Jets' official site reports.

    Analysis: Considered a true game-time call heading into Sunday, Cole was ultimately ruled out after the Jets evaluated him during a pregame workout. With Cole's Jets debut delayed by the knee injury and Jamison Crowder (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Elijah Moore, Braxton Berrios and Denzel Mims should all be in line for enhanced snap and target counts behind No. 1 receiver Corey Davis.

  • Game-time call for Week 1

    Cole (knee) is a game-time decision for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Jamison Crowder still on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Cole potentially unavailable, the Jets' receiving depth will be tested right out of the gate. The biggest beneficiary in terms of playing time should be highly touted rookie Elijah Moore, though second-year pro Denzel Mims and backup slot receiver Braxton Berrios also could take on larger roles behind No. 1 receiver Corey Davis. Cole's availability likely won't be determined until shortly before kickoff Sunday.

    Cole (knee) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cole practiced fully Wednesday, so this appears to be a new injury. With Jamison Crowder in COVID-19 protocols, the Jets could be without two expected regulars at wide receiver for Sunday's season opener against the Panthers if Cole's injury ends up hindering his ability to suit up.

  • In mix for starting spot

    Cole caught his only target for a 16-yard gain in Saturday's 12-7 preseason win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Cole's catch came on a pass thrown by starting quarterback Zach Wilson. The Jets' receiver deployment throughout Wilson's two drives in the game suggest Cole's currently rotating with Vyncint Smith as a starter on the outside opposite Corey Davis, though rookie Elijah Moore (quadriceps) may be ahead of both Cole and Smith in the competition for that spot. The Jets' wide receiver rotation will be worth monitoring when they face the Packers in Week 2 of preseason.

  • Will be in rotation

    Cole has played well in camp and will be in New York's wide receiver rotation, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Cimini implied that Cole has looked better than second-year wideout Denzel Mims, who most have penciled into the starting spot opposite Corey Davis. Rookie Elijah Moore's also on hand to compete for snaps at wide receiver, but it sounds like Cole should at least carve out a consistent role if not an outright starting spot with his new team.

  • Jets off to New York

    The Jets and Cole agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Cole broke out as an undrafted rookie in 2017 with a 42-748-3 line on 83 targets. His production has taken a noticeable dip since then, with his YPC dropping from 17.8 that season to 12.8 over the past three. Upon joining the Jets, Cole will be behind Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder in the pecking order at wide receiver, likely competing with second-year pro Denzel Mims for reps.

  • Quiet showing Week 17

    Cole caught three of seven targets for 23 yards during Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: The absences of DJ Chark (shin) and Collin Johnson (hamstring) provided significant potential for production in the season finale, but it was fellow receivers Chris Conley and Laviska Shenault that took advantage Sunday. Cole finished the season with 55 catches for 642 yards and five touchdowns while playing all 16 games, and he led Jacksonville's wideouts in snaps while working primarily out of the slot. It was a solid rebound campaign after struggling over the previous two years, and the…read more

  • Trio of grabs in loss

    Cole brought in three of four targets for 26 yards in the Jaguars' 41-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

    Analysis: Cole filled his usual complementary role, tying for third in receptions with Chris Conley behind DJ Chark and Laviska Shenault. The 27-year-old has a modest 5-48 line over the last two games after a productive seven-catch, 67-yard, one-touchdown effort in Week 14 against the Titans. Cole will look to put together a strong finish to his fourth campaign when he faces a tough Colts defense in Week 17.

  • Two catches Week 15

    Cole caught both of his targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss at Baltimore.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old had seven catches for 67 yards and one touchdown last week versus the Titans, but he was barely involved in the passing game against the Ravens despite playing 43 of 58 offensive snaps. Cole has played about 80 percent of Jacksonville's offensive snaps throughout the season, but the volatility of the offense limits his potential for fantasy output.

  • Bright spot for Jaguars

    Cole recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Titans.

    Analysis: Cole led the team in targets, receptions and yards. He also tallied the team's only touchdown of the contest on a five-yard catch late in the third quarter. Given that Cole had commanded only 13 targets across his last three contests combined, it's difficult to trust that he'll maintain that type of volume moving forward. Adding haziness to the situation is the Jaguars' lack of clarity at quarterback and a difficult Week 15 matchup against the Ravens.

  • Minor involvement Week 13

    Cole caught one of two targets for seven yards during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old played 49 of 71 offensive snaps -- second among Jacksonville wideouts -- but he didn't find much involvement in the passing game. Mike Glennon fed 12 targets to tight ends Tyler Eifert and James O'Shaughnessy, and rookie Collin Johnson also caught four of six targets for 66 yards. If those target trends continue -- in addition to top wideout DJ Chark -- Cole may have a difficult time replicating his production from earlier this season.

    Cole caught three of six targets for 44 yards during Sunday's 27-25 loss to Cleveland.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old seemed primed for a larger workload with DJ Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip) sidelined, but it was rookie Collin Johnson (four catches for 96 yards and a touchdown) who stepped up for Jacksonville. Cole basically ended up hitting his season averages (3.6 catches for 45.3 yards), though he was unable to get in the end zone. Cole has enjoyed a bounceback campaign in 2020 with 39 catches for 497 yards and four touchdowns through 11 games, but he's a low-ceiling fantasy option in…read more

  • Could see extra targets

    Coach Doug Marrone suggested Cole could be a more important part of the offense with both DJ Chark (ribs) and Chris Conley (hip) ruled out for Sunday's game against Cleveland. "We have a plan," Marrone said. "But we're comfortable, we'll have-Keelan [Cole] will be out there for us and obviously Laviska [Shenault Jr.] is back and he had a good week."

    Analysis: Cole has been a regular in the slot all year, averaging 3.6 catches for 45.3 yards and 0.4 TDs on 5.4 targets per game. Those are good numbers for a slot specialist in a subpar offense, and Cole also has plenty of experience working outside on deeper routes, having handled that role earlier in his career. The versatility is especially valuable with his position group banged up, but a passing game led by QB Mike Glennon isn't likely to be prolific.

  • Quiet day as offense sputters

    Cole caught two of his five targets for 26 receiving yards during Sunday's 27-3 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Cole enjoyed a huge outing last week in Green Bay, logging five catches for 47 yards and a touchdown while adding the longest punt-return TD (91 yards) in Jaguars history. This time around he wasn't capable of making nearly the same impact, as his quarterback Jake Luton labored to 151 yards through the air with a 0:4 TD:INT. Cole's offerings in fantasy have been inconsistent, as he has five different games this season with 100-plus receiving yards or a touchdown, but also three appearances with…read more

  • Scores via reception, return

    Cole reeled in five of his seven targets for 47 yards and a receiving touchdown, adding a 91-yard punt return for a touchdown during Sunday's 24-20 loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Cole kept his team in the game with a pair of critical contributions, making history Sunday by recording the longest punt-return TD in 26 years of Jaguars football. The 27-year-old also secured Jake Luton's lone passing score of the afternoon while ranking second on the team in targets behind Chris Conley (eight).

    Analysis: The 27-year-old had an opportunity for a big day with Laviska Shenault (hamstring) making an early exit, but it was Chris Conley who stepped up with seven receptions for 52 yards. The shift from Gardner Minshew (thumb) to rookie Jake Luton at quarterback didn't have a major impact on the production in the Jags' passing game, but Cole clearly didn't show a great rapport with the rookie in his debut.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old popped up on the injury report Friday as a limited participant due to a back issue, but it shouldn't impact his status for Sunday's contest. Cole has 28 catches for 374 yards and three touchdowns through seven games this season, but Jacksonville's passing game seems likely to take a hit with Gardner Minshew (thumb) sidelined and rookie Jake Luton leading the offense.

  • Only one catch Sunday

    Cole caught one of two targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: It was a disappointing follow-up to Cole's 143-yard eruption against the Lions last week, but the Chargers' pass rush gave Gardner Minshew little time to let routes develop downfield, and the production of the entire WR corps suffered. Cole is on pace for a career-best season heading into Jacksonville's Week 8 bye, but he could be catching passes from a different quarterback on the other side of the break, as Minshew's job security is shaky following six straight losses.

    Analysis: Cole commanded a season-best nine targets and took advantage by recording explosive plays. He provided the three longest gains for the Jaguars -- receptions of 51, 35 and 24 yards -- highlighted by a broken play during which he broke free from the Lions secondary.

    Cole recorded two receptions on six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Week 5 against the Texans.

    Analysis: Cole's six targets were good for fourth on the team, but he was largely inefficient with his opportunity. He did come through with a grab in the corner of the end zone to record a 13-yard touchdown reception halfway through the second quarter. Though Cole has only 219 yards through five contests, he has found the end zone on three occasions. If DJ Chark (ankle) is unable to suit up in Week 6 against the Lions, Cole should be in line for increased opportunity.

  • Moderate production continues

    Cole caught four of five targets for 46 yards during Sunday's 33-25 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old has surprisingly been a model of consistency through four games, totaling at least four receptions and 40-plus yards in each contest. However, his season-high marks of six catches and 58 yards offers a fairly limited ceiling if he doesn't reach the end zone. Cole's snap share pegs him as Jacksonville's No. 2 wide receiver, but rookie Laviska Shenault has been the more explosive option in the offense behind top wideout DJ Chark.

The 27-year-old has gotten plenty of attention from quarterback Gardner Minshew through the first three games of the season, as he's now logged 17 targets, 15 of which he's brought in for 148 yards and two touchdowns.

    Analysis: Cole has already started in both of the Jaguars' first two games and ranks second on the team with 105 yards, but he's played less than 70 percent of the offensive snaps. With Jacksonville's top target out of the mix this week, however, more snaps and looks could be funneled Cole's way out of necessity.

    Cole caught six of seven targets for 58 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 33-30 loss to the Titans.

    Analysis: The 27-year-old is proving to be a favorite target of QB Gardner Minshew's early in the season, as his seven targets tied for the highest total on the team. Cole caught only 24 passes for 361 yards and three scores last season, but he's been significantly more involved in the offense in 2020 with 11 receptions for 105 yards and two touchdowns.

He delivered on the opportunity, catching a wide open 22-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter to give the Jaguars the lead. He turned in only short gains otherwise but could continue to see decent playing time so long as he remains ahead of Westbrook on the depth chart.

    Cole signed his restricted free-agent tender with the Jaguars on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Jacksonville was all but guaranteed to retain Cole's services after placing a second-round tender on the wide receiver in March. He's been a model of health in three pro seasons, never missing a game, but his target count has decreased on each occasion (83 in 2017, 70 in 2018 and 35 last year).

    The Jaguars are giving Cole a second-round tender, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Cole went undrafted back in 2017, so an original-round tender wouldn't have offered any draft compensation if the Jaguars failed to match an offer sheet. A second-round tender, on the other hand, ensures that Cole won't receive any offer sheets, which means he'll be back with the Jaguars unless there's an unexpected trade. He operated as the team's No. 4 wide receiver throughout most of last season, catching 24 of 35 targets for 361 yards and three touchdowns. If nothing else, Cole has proven…read more

Cole played a minimal offensive role through the first six weeks of the season, but he ended up carving out a steady snap share the rest of the campaign.

    Cole caught three of six targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Raiders.

    Analysis: He led the Jaguars in receiving yards, but most of his production came on a 55-yard grab on the team's opening drive. and Cole did little afterwards. The six targets tied his season high, and the third-year wideout could see elevated volume again in Week 16 against the Falcons if DJ Chark Jr. (ankle) remains sidelined.

    Cole, Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley will work as the Jaguars' top three receivers Sunday against the Raiders with No. 1 option DJ Chark (ankle) ruled out for the contest, John Oehser of Jacksonville's official site reports. "Obviously, we're looking for those guys to step up," coach Doug Marrone said after Friday's practice.

    Analysis: Westbrook (55 receptions for 569 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games) and Conley (38-632-2 in 13 games) have well outpaced Cole in production this season, leaving those two as better bets to absorb most of Chark's vacated target volume. There should still be room for Cole to have a regular role in three-receiver sets and play at least half of the Jaguars' offensive snaps, assuming the Raiders keep the game competitive and force Jacksonville to deviate from an overly run-heavy script.

Chark and Chris Conley all played at least twice as many snaps, and the Jaguars are unlikely to attempt 47 passes most weeks.

He had a two-game touchdown streak snapped in this one, but Cole more than made up for that by topping the 20-yard mark for the first time this season.
