Cardinals RBs Trey Benson & James Conner notes: Roster projection by @joshweinfuss does not have Trey Benson (as expected) - he's missed a lot of time with his knee James Conner listed as potentially being moved but also has not done 11:11PositiveUsageAug 21, 2026
On Mike Washington Jr: Kubiak seems to insinuate 2 things: 1) He's heading towards carving out a role 2) Needs to do more outside of running the ball @AdamHillLVRJ seems to think he's on the "right track" Take: I'm not certain where this will land - Jeanty is a mega stud, but we have history of Kubiak with 2backs and MWJ looks solid. It's adding a slight amount of risk to Jeanty getting a crazy bellcow role. If you prefer other options (I prefer Cook for sure) that's fine.PositiveNewsAug 18, 2026
Cranked out a banger of a pod today with the BEST analyst in the game @dwainmcfarland Covered: -James Cook -What to do with Jeremiyah Love? -MUCH MORE Sub to Fantasy Football is Life where my vid/pod work with Dwain, @MattFtheOracle, and @CuppsAnalytics will livePositiveNewsAug 17, 2026
You're going to want to watch this - talking about how our ranks adjust based on the preseason + what we saw out there James Cook Christian Watson & More!NegativeUsageAug 16, 2026
Ty Johnson update from over the weekend via @JoeBuscaglia: Joe Brady declined to give a timetable but noted it was a lower body injury We haven’t heard much and it would probably be a decent boost to James Cook route participation (may see this anyway) if Johnson missed timePositiveUsageAug 15, 2026
Bills notes with Josh Allen: Receiver roulette somewhat continued - hard to know if it was just bc preseason Still seems like Keon Coleman vs Josh Palmer was nearly even on playing time with JA (Coleman got the stats tho) James Cook route share was solid but no Ty JohnsonPositiveNewsAug 13, 2026
Absolute baller for asking the question we all wanted to know, @MattHarmon_BYB I think the answer will be, yes btw James Cook is my RB4 this season Watch the full interviewPositiveUsageAug 11, 2026
Pete Carmichael about James Cook: Brings value in the run game AND pass game Was also asked about expanding pass game role: Week to week pending the game plan and matchup but they like getting the ball in his hands Take: This didn’t seem definitive to me, but he did unprompted bring up the pass game abilities before being asked for more so I’ll give some credence to it. Still my RB4.PositiveUsageAug 9, 2026
Bills RBs, including James Cook, were seen running option/texas/rail routes out of the backfield during the scrimmage Things that the beat believes look different than previous seasons Via @ErikJTurnerNegativeNewsAug 9, 2026
Sounds like Ty Johnson had his arm around a trainer coming off the field and while I don’t want to react too quick to these things, this video made me feel like it’s not a super short term injury Could easily be back Week 1 but I’m definitely paying attention here as it would have a decent impact on James Cook <PositiveNewsAug 2, 2026
Now we've finally heard Pete Carmichael say that he wants - about the RB room: "When you talk about getting them some throws in the pass game, a lot of that sometimes is just giving them those opportunities..." Combined with hearing that the RBs are more involved in camp + 4 beats speculating on it I think its very likely we see an uptick in James Cook receptions - I have him above Jonathan Taylor for the seasonPositiveUsageJul 24, 2026
Expanding on the theory that James Cook will be more involved in the passing game We’ve heard in the past how Pete Carmichael could influence RB usage Hearing the breakdown of RB screens (and clarification that it could be Ray Davis, Ty Johnson, or James Cook) is interesting
