Yahoo Sports NFL on James Cook
From the article
James Cook carried the ball 309 times in the regular season last year (18.2 attempts per game)... the market has him at 17.5 carries... Offensive coordinator Joe Brady was promoted to head coach on Jan. 27 after Sean McDermott was fired, and Brady has already said publicly that Cook's workload was high and that the backfield needs to share it, with Ray Davis lined up behind him.
STACKED’s take
Cook's carries projected at 17.5 vs. 18.2 last year; Brady plans to share backfield with Davis.
Cook carried the ball 309 times in the regular season last year (18.2 attempts per game) and is one of the most durable high-volume backs in football. However, the market has him at 17.5 carries for Week 1 against Houston. New Bills head coach Joe Brady, promoted from offensive coordinator on Jan. 27, has publicly stated that Cook's workload was high and that the backfield needs to share carries with Ray Davis. Additionally, Houston fielded the best defense in football last season and spent the offseason strengthening the front, signing Logan Hall and trading up for Ohio State DT Kayden McDonald. In their last matchup, Cook broke a 45-yard TD in the first quarter but ground out only 71 yards on his other 16 carries in a 23-19 Houston win, finishing with 17 attempts.
