And then with James Cook, he hasn't demonstrated the same ceiling that we have from the other running backs because he doesn't get involved as a receiver nearly as much as Christian McCaffrey, as Bejon or Jamir Gibbs. And on top of this, obviously Josh Allen will steal some rushing touchdowns, but that didn't stop him last year from being a mid running back one. He's had back-to-back seasons where he finishes as the top 12 RB and he has no competition whatsoever in his backfield.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Mid-RB1 with limited ceiling but elite floor due to backfield monopoly.

Ranked eleventh overall. While he hasn't demonstrated the same ceiling as other top RBs because he doesn't get involved as a receiver like McCaffrey or Gibbs, and Josh Allen steals rushing touchdowns, Cook still finished as a mid-RB1 last year and has back-to-back top-12 RB finishes with no backfield competition.
