James Cook Finds Himself In Ideal Rebound Spot

James Cook Finds Himself In Ideal Rebound Spot

one year ago

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is trending down heading into Week 10 versus the Denver Broncos. Cook has closed as fantasy's overall RB31 or worse in full-PPR scoring during four of his previous five occasions. Denver's unit offers a prime bounce-back chance while still being trampled for a league-worst 5.4 yards per carry despite some defensive improvements in recent weeks, which have been more noticeable in their secondary. Defensive coordinator Vance Joseph's bunch also remain getting mashed for the most fantasy points per game (33.61) to RBs. It could be Cook's final audition to push for guaranteed rest-of-season lead-back duties, considering veteran Leonard Fournette is waiting in the practice-squad wings. Despite mostly situating as a mediocre RB2 most weeks due to a fluctuating snap share and red-zone role, Cook's frustrating shortcomings can potentially be tossed aside as a borderline RB1/2 in an optimal opportunity to escape the funk.
