James Cook
Dynasty Riser: James Cook
1 month ago

James Cook is not a sexy name in dynasty circles, but he should be.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook is going into the final year of his rookie deal as a player who will almost certainly get an extension this off season.  Cook has been one of the most efficient runners in the league since he’s entered the league, averaging 5.1 yards per carry and coming off of back to back 1,000 yard seasons.  This year he set a new career high in rushing TDs with 16, and 18 total.

 

The 25 year old Cook is currently our RB9 in dynasty rankings.  He is tied to an elite quarterback in Josh Allen, along with one of the top offensive lines in the NFL.  Right now he is one of the safest assets in dynasty, due to his elite production ceiling and offensive ecosystem.  If he is able to secure a second contract with the Buffalo Bills, his price will only continue to climb.

 

I recommend trying to buy Cook before he signs his 2nd contract with the Bills.  You are getting guaranteed production and an ecosystem that can continue to support him to elite fantasy production. KeepTradeCut has him as even value with an early 2027 1st, Michael Penix, and Jordan Addison in superflex leagues.  If you are a contender, I could see sending Jordan Addison if you need to beef up your running back portfolio.
