James Cook is ranked as a late first-round pick (around 10th overall) but Justin Boone doesn't see a path to him delivering as a late first-rounder. Cook had 1,900 scrimmage yards and 14 touchdowns last year, but Boone thinks he could backslide this year and doesn't see how he can improve on that production. The Bills have the second-hardest fantasy schedule for running backs, with a tough start against Houston, Detroit, LA Chargers, and New England.
