From the article

Cook is one of my favorite running backs to draft this year. He has improved every season of his career, totaling at least 1,000 rushing yards in three consecutive years, including an NFL and career-high 1,621 in 2025. More importantly, Cook is one of six running backs to average 16 or more PPR fantasy points per game in each of the past two seasons.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Cook's 1,621 rushing yards and consistent 16+ PPR ppg make him a top-tier Round 1 value.

Cook is one of Mike Fanelli's favorite running backs to draft this year at ADP 10.8 in Round 1. He has improved every season of his career, totaling at least 1,000 rushing yards in three consecutive years, including an NFL and career-high 1,621 in 2025. Cook is one of six running backs to average 16 or more PPR fantasy points per game in each of the past two seasons, with Buffalo's offense expected to remain the same after promoting Joe Brady from offensive coordinator to head coach.
