From the episode

I think that people are still a little... underrating what James Cook potentially having a bigger pass-catching role might look like... I think that this might add up to more like one or two more fantasy points per game.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Cook's increased pass-catching role could push him into the top-5 RB tier.

Zane Danani suggests James Cook is underrated due to a potential increase in pass-catching volume under new offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael, who historically utilizes running backs in the passing game. While Cook may see a slight reduction in carries to accommodate Ray Davis, the shift toward a 50-60% route share could add 1-2 fantasy points per game, potentially pushing him into the top-3 to top-5 RB threshold.
