James Cook. Cook was last year's rushing leader, and while he managed just 57 yards last week, he still averaged 4.4 YPC. In addition to being the rushing leader, he also ranked 10th in success rate among RBs (44.7%) and second in rushing yards over expected per rush (+1.1). He creates yardage, even when it's not there.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalUsage

Cook's efficiency metrics (4.4 YPC, +1.1 RYOE) show explosiveness despite 57-yard Week 1.

Cook was last year's rushing leader and creates yardage even when it's not there. While he managed just 57 yards in Week 1, he still averaged 4.4 yards per carry, ranked 10th in success rate among RBs (44.7%), and ranked second in rushing yards over expected per rush (+1.1). These efficiency metrics suggest Cook's explosiveness remains intact despite the low Week 1 yardage total against a top-tier run defense.
