Cook's 1,621 rushing yards and 12 TDs in 2025 support sustained lead-back role.

Cook dominated in 2024 with 16 touchdowns and 1,009 rushing yards, then exceeded expectations in 2025 with 1,621 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns, providing confidence in his sustained production. With the Bills' offense under Joe Brady lacking a dominant receiver, Cook has had to lead the offense, and there's no reason to think that can't continue. The Bills paid a premium for a 29-year-old wide receiver (George Pickens) who has never had double-digit touchdowns and just one 1,000-yard season in the last four years. Cook remains the safest and strongest bet outside Josh Allen; if Allen sees regression on his 41 rushing touchdowns over the last three years, Cook is positioned to clean up.
