Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on James Cook

PodcastWhat Yahoo staff mock draft 2.0 taught usJuly 30, 2026

From the episode

Right. We're going to see DJ Moore potentially get used a little bit out of the backfield. Josh Allen always capable of putting up like a spiked season where he's stealing a lot of goal line work. So it's hard to view Cook doing better than what he did last year.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Cook was RB6 last year; hard to see him improving with DJ Moore, Allen.

James Cook was the RB6 in fantasy points per game last year with 1,900 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns. Boone questions whether Cook can top those numbers this year, especially with DJ Moore now in the offense potentially getting used out of the backfield and Josh Allen capable of stealing goal-line work. It's hard to view Cook doing better than last season.
