STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Cook's elite rushing volume backed by league-leading Bills O-line keeps him RB1.

Cook led the league with 1,621 rushing yards, handled a career-high 309 carries and finished as the RB6 in fantasy PPG. Buffalo brings back most of a line that led the league in run block win rate and finished fourth in pass block win rate last season, with Dion Dawkins, Connor McGovern, O'Cyrus Torrence and Spencer Brown keeping this group near the top despite losing David Edwards. The receiving role is still limited, but the rushing volume and TD upside in a Josh Allen-led offense keep him firmly in RB1 territory.
