James Cook is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 15 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 58% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: James Cook entered Week 14 having carried at least 11 times while generating 64+ rushing yards in two of his previous three games.
That included his season-high 14 rushing attempts during Buffalo’s Week 13 matchup with AFC East rival New England. Cook also attained a season-best 43% snap share, while securing season-best totals in targets (six) and receptions (six), and assembling 41 receiving yards versus the Patriots.
Cook remained involved on 41% of the Bills’ offensive snaps when Buffalo hosted the Jets in Week 14. However, he was limited to four carries, six rushing attempts, and one target as Josh Allen led the Bills in carries (10) and rushing yardage (47), while Devin Singletary paced the backfield with eight carries and 39 rushing yards.
Cook remains capable of seizing a sizable workload throughout Buffalo’s remaining matchups, and his numbers during unfavorable weather conditions in Week 14 will not alter the fact that his snaps and touches have expanded in recent weeks.
His explosiveness and versatility also remain intact, and these capabilities still provide the potential for Cook to become a resource during the fantasy postseason. That presents your rationale for keeping him rostered during your playoff matchups.
