BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB2
ANALYSIS: Cook is primed to be the lead back for Buffalo this week once again, after a solid Week One outing that saw him pile up 71 rushing yards on 19 attempts and another 32 receiving yards on three catches.
Cook ran all over a bad Arizona defense, and the matchup this week looks pretty good again as the Miami Dolphins allowed well over 100 yards on the ground to Jaguars backs Tank Bigsby and Travis Etienne Jr. last week.

Cook does have to contend with Josh Allen stealing red zone carries, but he seems to have a firm grasp on the majority of the running back touches in a run-heavy offense. It's a short week for Buffalo, so look for them to lean on their running game and try to take some air out of the ball to keep Miami's high-flying offense off the field.
Start Cook in all formats as your RB2 with confidence, he is sure to be a big part of the gameplan this week again for Buffalo.
