News: 12 hours agoCook rushed 21 times for 80 yards and a touchdown while catching two of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 36-10 win over the Ravens.
Spin: Cook gave the Bills some breathing room with a five-yard touchdown run in the third quarter to extend Buffalo's lead to 23-10. He was evaluated for a head injury later in the game but received clearance to return and notched one more carry after that point. After being held to 57 rushing yards without a touchdown by the Texans in Week 1, Cook has rushed for at least 75 yards and a touchdown in six consecutive games. Extending that streak won't be easy in Week 9 against Minnesota's elite defense on MNF.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Cook signed a contract extension last offseason and was immediately vaulted into the biggest role of his career. The 2022 second-round NFL draft pick finished in the top five among backs in carries, rushing yards (league-high 1,621), touchdowns and yards per carry (5.25). The one limiting factor in Cook's fantasy output was a minimal receiving role (his 40 targets ranked 26th among RBs), but he still came through with a sixth-place finish in fantasy points. The 26-year-old is set to play the same role in Joe Brady's scheme and will be a candidate for his third straight double-digit touchdown campaign as long as Josh Allen is under center. Consider Cook a midrange RB1.
