Outlook James Cook
Locked-In First-Round Anchor Poised for Another Massive Workload under Joe Brady
James Cook enters the season firmly established as Buffalo's lead back after a career-high 326 carries last year. With Joe Brady bringing fresh energy to the coaching staff, Cook is primed to maintain his focal point status in the offense. He sits atop the depth chart ahead of Ray Davis, ensuring his high-volume role remains incredibly secure.
Our projections expect another heavy workload, forecasting 267 carries for 1,368 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, alongside 33 receptions. While his pass-catching numbers could slightly dip in a modified scheme, his efficiency and high-value red-zone opportunities will keep his weekly fantasy floor remarkably high.
Draft market trends show extreme confidence in Cook, with his ADP stubbornly locked at 9.00 over the past month. Fantasy managers are drafting him as a premium, late first-round anchor in PPR formats. Our models view his current draft price as a fair representation of his elite upside.

Outlook Jeremiyah Love
Generational Rookie Runner Set for High-Volume Lead Role in Arizona
The Cardinals drafted Jeremiyah Love third overall, instantly slotting him at the top of the depth chart ahead of Tyler Allgeier and James Conner. Our projections expect Love to immediately command a lead role, forecasting 220 carries for 1,033 rushing yards and seven touchdowns.
Beat reports and teammate Trey McBride have praised Love's seamless transition to the professional level. He is expected to handle the bulk of the team's pass-catching duties out of the backfield, with our models projecting 57 receptions for 418 yards.
In fantasy drafts, Love’s ADP has stabilized around 21 after peaking at 18 in early June. For fantasy managers in 1.0 PPR formats, our projected 251.6 fantasy points make his current draft cost an exceptional value steal given his immense rookie upside.
