James Cook

Bills RB James Cook saw the team add Round 4 RB Ray Davis over the spring. By all accounts, the rookie enjoyed a strong summer. But as expected, the third-year RB remained the backfield leader against Arizona. Cook handled 19 of 24 team RB attempts. He also caught all 3 of his targets for 32 yards -- enough for a decent 13% target share.

Cook rushed 19 times for 71 yards and caught all three of his targets for 32 yards in Sunday's 34-28 win over the Cardinals.

Cook getting 22 touches is a great sign for his fantasy value. The other running backs on the team accounted for just six touches, and Cook was even used three times inside the 10-yard-line. He was unable to punch those runs in, and Josh Allen unsurprisingly finished them off, but it sure seems like Cook is going to get more work this season. He also didn't drop a pass on Sunday while providing a valuable outlet option for Allen. This could be a big year for James Cook.

Three anytime touchdown bets ahead of NFL Week 1, starting with Buffalo Bills RB James Cook.

Davis is the Bills' fourth round pick from this year's draft and he most recently tallied eight carries for 58 yards in the Bills' preseason Week 2 game against the Steelers. Though fantasy managers have worry over the potential for Davis to eat into James Cook's role, Buscaglia thinks Davis is a 2a to Cook, and not a clear backup or 1b. Based on practice usage, Buscaglia believes veteran Ty Johnson is the 2b and will split backup time with Davis due to his overall skillset moreso matching Cook's. The rookie Davis is not likely to eat into Cook's role immediately, but Ty Johnson could also see backup reps through his pass-catching skillset.
