From the article

The Raiders are currently allowing 140.6 yards per game, nearly 30 more than league average and the fifth worst in the league...Las Vegas is second worst in the league and allows 5.21 yards per rushing attempt...James Cook is personally at 5.6 yards per rush. He has three 100-yard games already this season...on paper this is an insanely lopsided matchup.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Cook faces historically bad Raiders run defense; elite efficiency matchup with 100-yard upside.

James Cook faces the Raiders, whose run defense is historically bad: allowing 140.6 yards per game (nearly 30 more than league average, fifth worst), and 5.21 yards per rushing attempt (second worst in the league). Cook is personally averaging 5.6 yards per rush with three 100-yard games already this season, while the Bills' run game is elite at 5.37 yards per carry as a team (second only to Kansas City). The matchup is described as 'insanely lopsided' in Cook's favor, though the Raiders have recovered six fumbles (league-leading), which presents the only notable concern.
