The drumbeat has been loud about James Cook being more involved in the passing game, and it aligns with the history of running backs in Pete Carmichael's offense. Cook averaged 16.8 receiving yards per game last year. Beyond the drumbeat and addition of Carmichael as the team's offensive coordinator, Cook's receiving outlook in Week 1 can get a lift from Ty Johnson's injury.

Cook's receiving yards prop at 14.5 is underpriced with Carmichael and Johnson injury.

Cook's receiving outlook should improve with Pete Carmichael as offensive coordinator; running backs in Carmichael's offense have historically been more involved in the passing game. Cook averaged 16.8 receiving yards per game last year. His receiving outlook in Week 1 can get a lift from Ty Johnson's injury; Johnson didn't practice, and his absence could open up passing-down work to Cook. The Texans allowed 4.2 receptions per game, 30.2 receiving yards per game, and 5.74 yards per target to running backs last season. The source projects Cook's receiving yards at 14.5 and recommends going higher.
