From the article

In 2024, James Cook dominated, scoring 16 touchdowns and rushing for 1,009 yards. That production seemed unsustainable. 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 sustained production makes him the Bills' safest playmaker outside Allen.

Cook has demonstrated sustained elite production with 1,621 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns in 2025 after a 1,009-yard, 16-touchdown 2024 season. With the Bills' passing offense spread out and no dominant receiver emerging, Cook remains the safest and strongest bet outside Josh Allen; if Allen sees regression on his 41 rushing touchdowns over the last three years, Cook is positioned to clean up.
