BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 17% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: James Cook had the best performance of his young career on Sunday, rushing 11 times for 86 yards against the Browns. He even saw opportunities around the goal line, though he failed to score a touchdown. Buffalo has grown increasingly willing to give the ball to its rookie, making him an intriguing waiver wire addition ahead of Week 12.
There has been some (justified) concern that Cook's success was merely a product of the Bills jumping out to a big lead. For starters, the Bills trailed the Browns for nearly half of the game, so it's not like they took an early lead and just benched their starters. Josh Allen logged snaps from start to finish, as did Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis.
The Bills played their studs, and it's very promising that Cook was heavily involved. Second, even if Cook does have a greater chance of seeing volume when the Bills are leading by multiple scores, that's fine.
Buffalo's upcoming schedule consists of the Lions, Patriots, Jets, Dolphins, and Bears. Outside of Miami, those matchups have the potential to be blowouts in favor of Buffalo, allowing the Bills to continue to utilize a heavy dose of Cook. Be proactive and get him on your fantasy roster before it's too late.
