RB James Cook, BUF (2 Viewers)

[Grahamburn]

What are people's expectations moving forward? Is the production sustainable, or is there too much touchdown dependence? He won't be cheap but I'm looking to buy- might offer the WR needy Cook manager my JSN and see where that goes.

He’s red hot the past two weeks so I expect some regression.

Regress to the top.

For those that remember watching both play... doesn't James Cook's running style remind you of a smaller, faster, LeVeon Bell?

For me no, Bell was very patient before bursting through a hole where Cook seems to go quicker to the hole.

This guy is going to be on a lot of league winning teams.

He regressed half a touchdown last night.

I wouldn't say he's TD dependent. The opportunities and yards are there for a solid floor.

Yeah - hopefully mine

Bills RB James Cook is proving he's worth the money

 

[The Frankman]

James Cook rushed 22 times for 117 yards and a touchdown in a Week 4 win over the Saints, adding 18 yards receiving on three catches.

More important than just Cook’s numbers was his role. He handled 22 of the 25 non-quarterback carries in this game, and his touchdown run was a one-yard rush where the Bills opted to go with Cook instead of Josh Allen. Given how explosive Cook remains in the open field, this kind of role on the Bills’ offense makes him a clear RB1 in fantasy.

Just a reminder that this guy is really good.

“His touchdowns are going to regress”
“He doesn’t get enough snaps”

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Between ARSB, Cook, & Jeanty, I’m currently 6th overall in the NFFC National BB contest.

Hopefully Worthy catches a TD and contributes this week, too.

Update: 3rd overall.

To be fair, Allen still vultured him him today.

 

[irish eyes]

Brutal he is stuck with such an incompetent coaching staff.

Matt Lane
James Cook averaged over 5 yards a carry and the Bills couldn’t eclipse 300 yards in the game…?

Good thing they are saving him for the Super Bowl

 

[fred_1_15301]

They refuse to throw it to him.

 

[OrganizedChaos]

I have never been a Cooks owner but wished I had him on my teams every year. He seems he can do it all. I do not understand why he is not on the field more.

They refuse to throw it to him.

Be sure to take your most dynamic player in the backfield (who would be a matchup nightmare for linebackers) off the field *every* 3rd down.

 

[Grahamburn]

We have a plan! But, the wagon is on fire! Trust the plan!

 

[ponchsox]

Zero TD in last two games (losses.) Hopefully after the bye they feed him like crazy. Cook sets up Allen, not the other way around.

They’re really predictable right now.

This. I know I'm no OC or HC but ******* how do you take your most dynamic playmaker besides Allen off the field every 3rd down?? I just don't understand it. It's not like Cook can't catch. Are they trying to 'preserve' him? If that's the case give him some time off with early downs.

 

[Footballdaz]

After the biweek you'll see Cook with 5-7 receptions next game.
Bills losing 2 in a row will make them rethink Cooks usage.

Sean McDermott spoke to OC Joe Brady about James Cook's usage Monday night

Running back James Cook's playing time in the Bills' Monday night loss to the Falcons became a topic of conversation for the team's coaching staff.
