PositiveProjectionJul 18, 2026
James Cook had a career year last year with 1,600-plus rushing yards and averaged nearly 18 points per game, going very close to JSN in ADP.PositiveMatchupJul 15, 2026
The Bills have a rough schedule (Houston, Detroit, Chargers, New England, Rams) that could lead to game scripts where they chase and throw more dump-offs to Cook, but could also hurt his rushing volume if the defense struggles.PositiveValueJul 15, 2026
The analyst is hitting the button on James Cook in round two whenever possible and considering him at pick 110 when he doesn't like surrounding options.PositiveBreakoutJul 15, 2026
James Cook is a dark horse RB1 overall candidate if he gets more touches in creative ways; he caught only 33 passes last year and even 1.5 more catches per game would significantly boost his value.PositiveUsageJul 15, 2026
Cook had shockingly high volume last year with over 340 total touches and absurd touches per snap, indicating a rational coaching department should continue heavy usage.PositiveRoleJul 15, 2026
Cook has been durable and stayed on the field, but there is potential for more passing targets if the Bills design plays differently in 2026.NegativeProjectionJul 15, 2026
The analyst is skeptical about Cook being proclaimed a first-round draft pick, preferring other running backs like Achane, McCaffrey, Hampton, Walker, Chase Brown, and Barkley in the 10-20 range.NegativeBustJul 15, 2026
Cook is a confounding player who hasn't shown pass-catching ability despite being drafted as a sub back, and comes off the field on third down while Josh Allen vultures double-digit rushing touchdowns.NegativeProjectionJul 15, 2026
Despite league-winning upside at his ADP, Cook has been in the 30s in total catches the last 2 years, failing to develop as the pass-catching back the Bills envisioned.PositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026
Last year James Cook rushed for 1,600+ yards and has scored multiple touchdowns over the last two years as the focal point of one of the league's best offenses.PositiveValueJul 15, 2026
James Cook is falling into round two after living in round one for months, with his FFPC low at 205 and average draft position in the low first round. If he's available in round two, it feels like one of the easiest picks to make.
