James CookRBBUF
James Cook faces a difficult early-season schedule with games against Houston (strong run defense), Detroit, LA Chargers, and New England. Against New England specifically, Cook had only 49 yards when Milton Williams played early in the season, but over 100 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns in the second half when Williams was out. The Patriots' improved run defense with Williams makes Cook's early-season outlook challenging.
