News: 19 hours agoCook rushed the ball 11 times for 100 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Patriots. He added three receptions on three targets for 26 yards and an additional touchdown.

Spin: Cook turned the game around for Buffalo by scoring consecutive touchdowns in the second and third quarters. The first came on an explosive 46-yard scamper through the middle of the New England defense while he broke through several arm tackles. He then caught a short, four-yard touchdown to tie the game. Despite being limited to around 15 touches per matchup, Cook has eclipsed 100 yards from scrimmage in three of four contests while finding the end zone a total of five times since Buffalo's Week 12 bye.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Cook returns to the gridiron for his third season with the Bills. He finished as RB12 in fantasy last season and ranked fourth in the league in rushing yards. Joe Brady replacing Ken Dorsey as offensive coordinator was a godsend for Cook. From Weeks 11 through 18, Cook averaged and impressive 19.6 touches and 16.4 fantasy points per game. Since Cook is the undisputed leader of the Bills' backfield, we can expect a similar workload from him in 2024. He can be safely drafted as a high-end RB2.
