Always been a big fan and had a 1st round grade on him.
He is looking even better than I thought he would at this point and I am really glad I own him.
I had him as my breakout RB this season in our Guru contest.
He looks to be an ideal fit for their offense.

Re: James Cook
I thought I remember being a big hater, but it was more about his cost in rookie drafts being a late 1st above some WR I preferred (and Rachaad White lol). I really like what I have seen from Cook with the new OC. They are actually using him now and it makes you wonder why they weren't before given their need for more weapons. He's not even playing many more snaps, just getting more touches and has been one of the most efficient RB this year.Jigga94 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 15, 2022 2:26 pm 1.10 may seem a little high, and I wouldn't take Cook ahead of the other 9 in that draft that were picked before him, but how many more players would people take ahead of Cook? For me it's 1 or 2 other guys and I'm not even a big Cook supporter
Rachaad White, Brian Robinson, Spiller, Zamir White, Dotson, Pickens, Wan’Dale, Bell, Metchie, Pierce, all go around the 1st/2nd turn but a lot of those guys do not have the same upside
1st 10 games: 14.4 touches, 83.7 scrim yards, 0.2 TD per game
Last 4 games: 21 touches, 142 scrim yards and 1 TD per game.
These last 4 games, Cook has been over 100 yards in each and had his 1st 2 TD game. His other 26 career games include 6 100 yard games and 5 Total TD

Re: James Cook
I assume most folks will have Bijan, CMC, Hall, Taylor, Gibbs over him. Curious to hear about guys like Achane, Etienne, Walker - are we putting Cook in that company or is he still a tier or two below?

Re: James Cook
I was too low on him. Georgia was a great program, he was undersized, and didn't ever produce much on the ground. Going to Buffalo where RB's aren't targeted a whole lot, I didn't see a great fit. It will be interesting to see how he does the rest of the year. Cowboys DL were put on skates in Sunday. Cook was contacted at or behind the LOS once, the entire day. If the Bills can push people around, they will be a tough team to play in January, with a run game. This doesn't bode well for Kincaid though, if they want to play this way.

Foodie. Well done steak goes in the trash.
Habaneros make the best tasting hot sauce. Throwing a bunch of random stuff on top of fries doesn't mean you call it "poutine".

Re: James Cook
The coaching change the Bills made a few weeks back is having a positive impact for Cook. I like to see them utilizing his skill set.FantasyFreak wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:50 pm I was too low on him.

I will say though that a strong running game is usually good for the team's TE with receiving skills.

Re: James Cook
The Bills played the long-game perfectly with Cook. I said when he was drafted that it was a GOOD thing that they didn't view him as a bellcow, because he wasn't.
And now that he's had the HGH offseasonDynasty DeLorean wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 9:47 pmNot ideal. Awaiting the offseason hgh bulk up a’la CMClukkynumber13 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 08, 2022 9:45 pm Oof.

But alas, it was not to be. At least not in week 1
