BDGE Fantasy Football on James Cook

From the video

if Tai Johnson does miss significant time, it's going to be James Cook running a ton more routes. And I think it's a lot more reasonable beyond the speculation.

Cook could see a major usage boost if Ty Johnson's injury lingers

James Cook's fantasy ceiling is currently capped by Ty Johnson, who played over 70% of third-down snaps last year. If Johnson's lingering lower-body injury keeps him out, Cook is expected to see a significant increase in route participation and receiving volume, potentially elevating his fantasy ceiling to bellcow status.
