we have the combination of Jonathan Taylor, James Cook. So, we have two anchor running back ones. Phenomenal spot to be in on that front. At running back, we have two RBs that we can start with confidence here.

STACKED’s take

Anchor RB1 with Taylor; confident weekly starter; valuable trade asset

James Cook is one of two anchor RB1s on the roster alongside Jonathan Taylor, forming a phenomenal running back foundation. He is identified as one of two running backs the team can be confident in starting every week, indicating solid role security and production. In trade analysis, Cook is positioned as an upgrade in a deal where the source receives three borderline round-one players (Cook, Justin Jefferson, and Trey McBride) in exchange for Bree JSN, Sam Leaporta, and another player; the source recommends making the trade despite concerns about losing JSN. Cook was also traded away alongside Trey McBride for JSN and Rasheed Rice; the source approves of the trade if the owner has Brock Bowers at tight end to replace McBride, though expresses concern about running back depth being left with Blake Corum.
