From the article

Cook was only the RB39 in receptions per game last year, so he can't lose too many carries and still be the RB6 that he finished as last year.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Cook needs carries to maintain RB6 status; receptions alone insufficient.

Cook was only RB39 in receptions per game last year, so he cannot lose too many carries and still finish as the RB6 he was in 2024; he'll likely catch an extra ball per game this year while having his rushing numbers drop somewhat, which is not a death sentence in isolation but becomes problematic given the Texans matchup.
