RB James Cook: 6.4, 6.4, and 6.3 yards per carry over his last three games, and the league's best rate of 10-plus-yard runs (21.4%). Yet he got just 12 carries on 35 snaps (59%) against New England.

Cook's 6.3+ YPC and league-leading 10+ yard run rate need more volume vs. Rams.

Cook has averaged 6.4, 6.4, and 6.3 yards per carry over his last three games and leads the league with a 21.4% rate of 10-plus-yard runs. However, he got just 12 carries on 35 snaps (59%) against New England. The Rams allow 3.8 yards per carry to backs (12th) and a 4.7% rate of 10-plus-yard runs (4th), so Cook needs volume to maintain his production. Establishing the run with Cook will be important, and if Buffalo loses Monday, it is more likely to be because the Bills couldn't run the ball than because the Rams took it.
