James Cook - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

James Cook - Week 2 Outlook for Fantasy Football

one year ago

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook will aim to lead the way in the backfield in Week 2 versus the Las Vegas Raiders once again after turning 16 touches into 63 yards in Week 1 against the New York Jets. The 23-year-old registered a promising 72.0% opportunity share, but none of his chances came in the red zone. Cook did run the sixth-most routes (24), however, of all Week 1 RBs. The Raiders leaked the third-highest fantasy points per game (25.44) and most receiving yards (826) to enemy RBs in 2022, which could play right into Cook's pass-catching ability. The 2022 second-round pick profiles as a higher-floor RB2 as the lead back in a game Buffalo could experience positive game script. Cook's usage suggests he's missing the ceiling potential of others in his range, though, while seeming to be out on high-value touches at this stage.
