Is James Cook Hurt or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 6

James Cook - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Is James Cook hurt or healthy? Is James Cook playing in Week 6? Read the latest James Cook fantasy football injury updates and outlook.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook (foot, toe) is the RB6 overall in full-PPR scoring. He's a fantastic back in both the rushing and passing game and the clear focal point of Bills' offensive coordinator Joe Brady's offense. Cook already has three games of 15+ PPR fantasy points through five weeks of action.

He's scored five total touchdowns, gained 432 offensive yards, and created multiple explosive plays, and is an undeniable RB1 in fantasy football. At his ADP of around 29 (RB13), he's been a bargain.

Unfortunately, he's listed on the Bills injury report now. Is James Cook hurt or healthy?

James Cook Injury Update for Fantasy Football

Cook has now missed three consecutive practices with foot and toe injuries. He likely picked up the ailments on the play shown below. As he's tackled to the ground his foot slams into the turf at a high speed perpendicular to the surface. His toes and the top part of his foot appear to buckle under the force.

The exact specifics of the injury haven't been revealed. Cook missed practice on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Despite this, there's still a chance he can play on Monday night, and it's possible they're just giving him as much rest as possible. Saturday's practice will be crucial in shedding more light on his status for Week 6.

 

James Cook Fantasy Football Outlook for Week 6

Any top-ten RB that puts up consistently good numbers is a must start, and this third-year pro is no different. There's no reason to bench him regardless of the strength of the defenses he's facing. He's prone to down games in negative game scripts against tough run defenses but very few players dominate the stat sheets for 17 straight games.

The biggest knock on Cook's game in 2023 was his lack of effectiveness near the goal line. That doesn't appear to be an issue anymore. Start him if he's on your roster. He can have a big game any week.
