Double-dip RB value at 1.12 over mid-tier WRs; locked-in starter.
James CookRBBUF
The source recommends James Cook as the pick at 1.12 in a 12-team half-PPR three-WR league, preferring to double-dip running back rather than reach for mid-to-late first-round WRs like AJ Brown, Drake London, or Nico Collins. Running back is positioned as still important and something that falls off late, making the double-dip strategy stronger than forcing a third WR early. Cook is drafted as a locked-in starter who would only be benched due to injury, indicating confidence in his role and production as a lead back.
