Dynamic Bills Lead Back Poised for Another Heavy-Workload Season in High-Powered Offense

Following a massive 2025 campaign where he handled a career-high 326 carries, James Cook enters the season as the undisputed leader of the Bills backfield. While rookie Ray Davis and Ty Johnson reside behind him on the depth chart, our models expect Cook to maintain a dominant share of the rushing attempts. He is the clear focal point of Buffalo's ground game.

We project Cook to remain highly efficient, compiling 1,368 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns on 267 attempts, alongside 33 receptions. His ability to threaten defenses both on the ground and through the air secures him a highly stable weekly floor, making him a trusted starter in nearly all fantasy formats.

Diving into draft trends, Cook's ADP has solidified at 9.0 overall, rising from a late-May value around 13. High-stakes fantasy managers are fully buying into his heavy volume in PPR formats. At this first-round price tag, our projections align perfectly with the market, certifying Cook as a premium, elite anchor for your fantasy roster.
