James Cook
2024 Season Outlooks
Cook took a big leap in 2023 and may be in line for another in 2024. That's because the Bills retained Joe Brady, who turned Cook into a true workhorse back in the second half of last season. In his final seven regular season games, Cook averaged 19.2 touches, 104.3 yards, and just over 16 PPR Fantasy points per game. He touched the ball exactly 22 times in each of the Bills' two playoff games. The negative, if there was one, was that Cook only scored two rushing touchdowns for the second year in a row. If he ever has a normal touchdown season, Cook could produce like a first-round pick. For now, we're comfortable drafting him as a top-10 back as early as Round 2.
Cook returns to the gridiron for his third season with the Bills. He finished as RB12 in fantasy last season and ranked fourth in the league in rushing yards. Joe Brady replacing Ken Dorsey as offensive coordinator was a godsend for Cook. From Weeks 11 through 18, Cook averaged and impressive 19.6 touches and 16.4 fantasy points per game. Since Cook is the undisputed leader of the Bills' backfield, we can expect a similar workload from him in 2024. He can be safely drafted as a high-end RB2.
