Cook was one of my 2026 fantasy favorites for the season, and in Week 1 the Bills put up 36 points on the road against the vaunted Texans defense... I don't expect him to have any trouble putting up numbers this week as a favorite at home, where the Bills have a maximized advantage against the Lions.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Cook's elite season projection and Bills' high implied total warrant Week 2 upgrade vs. Lions.

Cook is upgraded for Week 2 vs. Lions despite being a fade in Week 1 (69 yards, no TDs on 13 carries, 4 targets); the source notes Cook was one of his 2026 fantasy favorites for the season and the Bills put up 36 points on the road against the Texans defense in Week 1. Cook should have no trouble putting up numbers this week as a favorite at home, where the Bills have a maximized advantage against the Lions (outside of conference, on grass vs. turf, outdoors vs. indoors). The Bills are No. 2 in implied team total (28.5 points), and change-of-pace RB Ty Johnson (hamstring) is potentially out for a second week in a row.
