Fantasy Points Fantasy Football on James Cook

VideoHero RB Draft Strategy - 12 Targets for Fantasy Football in 2026!Captured August 1, 2026

From the video

They're James Cook, Saquon Barkley, and Devon Achane... I think Cook and Barkley both have clear top-five upside... If James Cook plays more in the passing game this year, he has top-three upside in fantasy football... You take James Cook and Saquon at the one-two turn.

Top-five upside at one-two turn; top-three if passing game role increases

Named as a clear hero RB candidate at the one-two turn with top-five weekly upside. Bowers projects Cook has top-three upside in fantasy football if he increases his passing game role in 2026. Bowers recommends pairing Cook with Saquon Barkley at the one-two turn as part of a hero RB draft strategy, positioning him as a strong early-round target with conditional elite ceiling.
