Hold Cook in win-now; elite consistency beats Judkins + Worthy

James CookRBBUF

Samwise strongly recommends holding James Cook in win-now dynasty situations over trading for Jaylen Judkins and Xavier Worthy combined. Cook is described as the picture of consistency both running and receiving, making him an elite anchor for championship windows. Judkins is unproven at top tier and on a bad team, while Worthy is at best a secondary/tertiary target in Kansas City with the Chiefs continually adding more players with his skill set.
