STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Placed in a mini-tier ahead of peers due to pass-catching upside

Ron Stewart places James Cook in a mini-tier ahead of other running backs, noting that his potential for increased pass-catching usage could unlock significant fantasy upside. Stewart also noted he moved another player ahead of Cook specifically because that player's receiving role was perceived as even clearer.
