James Cook

James Cook tied a bow on his third season with weekly RB1 finishes in more than half of his games, en route to his second consecutive 1,000-yard campaign. Cook was RB8 overall and RB10 in points per game as he took a massive touchdown leap.
He went from just 2 rushing TDs in 2023 to 19 in 2024. Concerns about Josh Allen taking all the red-zone TDs were overblown. The scores helped boost Cook's production as played fewer than 50% of the snaps.
Even so, we have a 28-game sample of Cook in Joe Brady's offense. He has averaged 15.5 points per contest - good for low-end fantasy RB1 production.

James Cook reiterated his request to sign an extension with the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

"I just feel like we're deserving of it. Like, why not? We work all of our life to get paid. Feed me the big bucks," Cook said. "I want to go chase the highest of the highest, and I'm going to keep doing it. I'm going to stand on what I stand on. And I don't want to feel like a cancer at all. Because I don't like all that attention and all that. That's not me, honestly. I'm just standing on business and what I deserve. That's it. What I deserve." Cook is coming off a season where he totaled over 1,200 yards from scrimmage and tied for the league-high of 16 rushing touchdowns. He is heading into his age 26 season.
