Bills RB James Cook scored for the second straight week in a blowout win over Jacksonville. He's now totaled 4 TDs on the season.

2024 Fantasy Football Impact

Don’t look into the backfield shares here, as Buffalo pulled starters in the 4th. That led to 11 carries for Cook, 7 for Ray Davis, and 3 for Ty Johnson

Cook managed just 3.5 YPC but showed his short-area quickness on a nice 13-yard run through the teeth of Jacksonville's defense. The third-year back nearly added a long-range TD catch, but the pass fell incomplete off his fingertips.

Ultimately, Buffalo’s commitment to the run and the performance of their O-line should supply hope for future production. Through three games, the Bills rank fifth in rush rate; ninth in EPA per rush.

Cook will remain a clear fantasy starter for Sunday’s matchup at Baltimore.
