FantasyPros Articles on James Cook
From the article
James Cook is sitting inside the top 10 in FantasyPros half-PPR flex rankings this week, but I think he's primed for a letdown. He's going up against a Rams defense that has been stingy against the run. Cook is ranked No. 12 overall and RB8 in the FantasyPros half-PPR flex rankings. Los Angeles has allowed opposing running backs just 13.1 half-PPR points per game through four weeks, without surrendering a rushing or receiving touchdown to the position.
STACKED’s take
Cook (RB8 ranking) faces stingy Rams run defense; expect flex-level output, not stud.
Cook is sitting inside the top 10 in FantasyPros half-PPR flex rankings but is primed for a letdown. He's going up against a Rams defense that has been stingy against the run, and Buffalo's offense hasn't been as explosive as expected. Even with solid volume, the efficiency and scoring chances look limited in what could be a lower-scoring game. Cook should be expected to be more of a flex-level player than an actual stud-level starter. Additionally, Cook is ranked No. 12 overall and RB8 in half-PPR flex rankings but Los Angeles has allowed opposing running backs just 13.1 half-PPR points per game through four weeks without surrendering a rushing or receiving touchdown to the position. Buffalo's 3-1 start deserves context (wins against Houston, Detroit, and Chargers, who have a combined 2-10 record). Cook had only 12 carries and two targets last week, and another touchdown could be harder to find.
