James Cook is the one for me where if James Cook they just decide to use him as a receiver a little bit... he legitimately for me could finish as the RB1 overall... Last two years with with Joe Brady, he's averaging 16 touchdowns per season. He's averaging over 5 yd per carry.
STACKED’s take
RB1 upside with 16 TDs/year and 60-catch potential despite first-round cost.
Darkhorse RB1 candidate despite first-round ADP; focal point of Josh Allen-led offense who scores every year. Had 32 catches (2024) and 33 catches (2025); could easily catch 60 passes as an opportunistic receiver if the Bills phase out Ty Johnson types. Last two years under Joe Brady: averaging 16 TDs per season and 5+ yards per carry. The source believes he legitimately could finish as RB1 overall; reminds the source of Nick Chubb and Derrick Henry—regression-proof studs who continually outperform expectations. However, Cook is being priced at a late first-round ADP after being available in the third and fourth rounds in previous years, representing a significant price correction upward in the ADP market.
