Buffalo Bills RB James Cook had a league-leading 935 rushing yards before contact during the 2025 regular season.
Huddle Up: Cook finished the season as the leading rusher in the NFL with 1,621 yards and also ranked third in the league with 309 carries. He may work with in a new offensive system next season but should still see plenty of touches during games. He will likely be a first-round pick in drafts and will be a must-start fantasy option each week.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook faces the Jacksonville Jaguars in the wild-card round, and the Jaguars allowed a league-low 85.6 rushing yards per game in the regular season.
Huddle Up: Cook was the NFL's leading rusher, but he will be facing a defense that didn't allow a 100-yard rusher all season. While the matchup isn't ideal, Cook should still be starting in fantasy playoff leagues. On the other hand, he probably isn't the back to pay up for in DFS contests this weekend.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook rushed twice for 15 yards in Week 18 against the New York Jets, and he was not used in the passing game, before leaving early for rest.
Huddle Up: Cook should be rested and raring to go for the wild-card round of the playoffs. Ray Davis and Ty Johnson filled in admirably, but it's Cook's backfield, and he is a sensation early-round pick in fantasy postseason leagues and a good pick in DFS.

Huddle Up: Cook has been one of the top running backs in the NFL this season and has posted at least 100 rushing yards in four of his last six games. He should see plenty of touches again this week and is a must-start option in leagues.
