Fantasy Football Outlook: Will James Cook Play Week 7?
James Cook off injury report for Week 7
Bills RB James Cook is off the injury report for Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
Cook was able to log a full practice Friday and does not have an injury designation for Sunday’s game against the Titans. He will be making his return after a one game absence.

James Cook (toe) logs full practice Thursday
James Cook (toe) logged a full practice session on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Cook missed last week’s game due to a toe injury, but it appears that he is gearing up for a return in Week 7. He was able to log a full practice session on Thursday, so barring any unforeseen setbacks, he should be good to go against the Titans. If he’s active, fantasy managers shouldn’t hesitate to start him.

James Cook (toe) officially limited Wednesday
James Cook (toe) was officially limited at Buffalo’s practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact
Buffalo just held a walk-through on Wednesday, but Cook was officially listed as a limited participant. Thursday’s practice will be much more indicative of his Week 7 availability, so fantasy managers should keep close tabs on his participation on Thursday to see if he will play this week.

James Cook (toe) could return in Week 7
Bills coach Sean McDermott said James Cook “has a chance” to play against the Titans in Week 7.
Fantasy Impact
Cook was sidelined this past Monday against the Jets. He will be worth monitoring at practice the rest of the week. Ray Davis would likely see the lead role again if Cook were to remain sidelined.

What the Experts Are Saying
James Cook was ruled out right before game time Monday night, putting Ray Davis into the starting role.
Davis was also a key receiving target out of the backfield, catching all three of his targets for 55 yards, including a long reception of 42 yards on a broken off-script play from Allen.
Given how well both Buffalo RBs played, we could see less of a workload for Cook when he returns from injury.
