James Cook is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for running backs. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 54% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: James Cook remains available in nearly 50% of all leagues and can still be utilized as a flex in your efforts to prevail in your championship matchup.
Cook’s versatility provides the potential for him to deliver yardage and critical fantasy points as both a rusher and a pass-catcher, while he is also capable of generating sizable gains when he is presented with opportunities.
Cook has now secured a 40% snap share since Week 13. He has also carried 34 times (8.5 per game) and accumulated 203 rushing yards (50.8 per game) during his last four matchups, while also averaging 6.0 yards per attempt.
Cook has also run 56 routes while being targeted on 21.4% of those routes since Week 13. He has also collected 10 of his 12 targets, assembled 64 yards, and generated a touchdown as a receiving weapon during that span.
Even though Cook will operate in a rotation with Devin Singletary again this week, he is positioned among the top backs to prioritize from the waiver wire.
