Josh Allen is coming off his lowest passing yardage total since 2019 (3,668), and hasn't thrown for more than 30 touchdowns in the last three seasons. However, the Bills seem positive their offense will take a step forward this year with the addition of DJ Moore under new head coach Joe Brady.

Cook's 1,621 rushing yards face ceiling risk if Bills' passing game improves under Joe Brady.

Cook dominated in 2024 with 16 touchdowns and 1,009 rushing yards, then recorded 1,621 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025, giving reason for confidence. However, the source raises a concern: Josh Allen is coming off his lowest passing yardage total since 2019 (3,668) and hasn't thrown for more than 30 touchdowns in the last three seasons. While the Bills added DJ Moore and hired new head coach Joe Brady with optimism about offensive improvement, the source questions whether increased passing production could come at the expense of Cook's ceiling.
