Outlook James Cook
James Cook vs. New England — Primed for Heavy Volume in Favorable Home Spot
Cook commands the clear lead role in Buffalo's backfield ahead of Ray Davis, coming off an explosive 154-yard, one-touchdown outing against the Chargers. He leads the league averaging 6.0 yards per carry, demonstrating remarkable efficiency on early downs even while his target share remains modest.
With Buffalo favored at home in an expected high-scoring divisional matchup, game script should heavily favor the ground attack. Our weekly projection slots Cook for roughly 19 carries and 91 rushing yards with near-touchdown equity (about 17 fantasy points). Despite Josh Allen's presence near the goal line, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Outlook Emmett Johnson
Emmett Johnson at LV — Carving out touches in Kansas City's backfield
Operating as the primary backup to Kenneth Walker, rookie Emmett Johnson is earning trust after head coach Andy Reid and running backs coach DeMarco Murray confirmed plans to expand his snaps. Johnson has displayed solid burst and versatility in limited rotational action through the first three weeks, establishing himself as a clear change-of-pace option.
Our weekly projections expect around 4.5 carries and a target, amounting to roughly 4.8 fantasy points against the Raiders. While his roster rate has surged toward 48%, his current touch volume is too limited to justify a lineup spot. He remains a high-upside bench stash rather than an active fantasy starter.
