Buffalo Bills RB James Cook III carried the ball 31 times for 107 yards and a touchdown during the team’s Week 9 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
Why It Matters: On the heels of Jahymr Gibbs running for 153 yards against the Vikings in Week 8, Cook topped the century mark as well on Monday night. He wasn’t nearly as explosive as Gibbs — Cook averaged 3.5 yards per carry compared to 6.7 for Gibbs — but eventually Minnesota’s defense wore down with Cook’s fourth-quarter score essentially putting the game out of reach. It’s possible the Bills will dial back Cook’s usage a bit in Week 10 against the Jets as a concession to the pounding he took on Monday night, but he should remain in your lineup as a solid RB1 regardless.
