From the article

In 2025, he recorded 1,621 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns and gave us even more reason to be confident. With the Bills' offense under Joe Brady never finding a dominant receiver, Cook has had to stand up and be the top playmaker, and there's no reason to think that can't continue this year.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Cook's 1,621 rushing yards and top-playmaker role support top-two RB upside with receiving upside.

Cook dominated in 2025 with 1,621 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, building on his 2024 production of 1,009 yards and 16 touchdowns; with the Bills' offense lacking a dominant receiver and Cook standing as the top playmaker, he remains the safest and strongest bet outside Josh Allen, and if Allen sees regression from his 41 rushing touchdowns over the last three years, Cook is positioned to clean up; if training camp reports of increased receiving usage are accurate, a top-two finish is within his range of outcomes.
