From the episode
I think James cook is the best value on the board. Looking at 11th overall, he's being valued basically based off of what he did last year. He was RB six and fantasy points per game. He's at the RB five station. I think James cook can take a step into rarefied air. And I'm not saying RB one overall, but I think he can be top three this year guys.
STACKED’s take
Positive signalProjection
Derek Brown projects James Cook as a top-three running back in 2026, citing his elite rushing volume (led NFL in rushing attempts), strong touchdown history (14-18 TDs in past two years), and expected increased passing game involvement under new OC Pete Carmichael, whose offenses have consistently ranked top-10 in RB target share.
