From the episode

if you add those targets back into his totals um it would probably add about one or maybe two fantasy points per game to his totals and while that sounds small it's pretty big because what it ends up getting him to is more of like a 20 point per game 21 point per game fantasy points in a full ppr league

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Cook's expanded role could yield 20-21 PPR points per game, RB5 pace, at RB6 ADP.

If Cook's receiving role expands as expected, his fantasy ceiling rises significantly. Matt Harmon's math shows that adding 1-2 targets per game while losing 2-3 rushes would result in approximately 20-21 PPR points per game in full PPR, which would have ranked as RB5 last season but Cook is currently going at RB6. Harmon emphasizes Cook has a solid floor from rushing alone, and the pass-catching upside makes him a critical player to monitor heading into training camp.
