MarShawn Lloyd vs. Dallas — Primetime Shootout Boosts Flex Value

In a favorable home environment with a 53-point projected total against Dallas, our models project Lloyd for roughly 9 carries, 25 rushing yards, and nearly 3 targets. Although he is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry this year, his red-zone role and passing work keep him firmly in the flex conversation.

James Cook at Las Vegas — High-Scoring Matchup Fuels RB1 Appeal Despite Fumble Scrutiny
Cook remains Buffalo's primary ball carrier atop the depth chart, coming off a two-touchdown effort against the Rams, but ball security has become a focal point. Head coach Joe Brady publicly warned that Cook risks losing carries to Ray Davis if fumbling issues persist after coughing up the football twice last week. Fortunately, Cook is fully healthy heading into a favorable dome matchup against the Raiders.
Despite the fumbling concerns, Cook’s elite efficiency makes him a must-start in all lineups. This contest features a high 53.5 projected total with Buffalo favored, offering plenty of scoring opportunities. Our weekly models project Cook for roughly 80 rushing yards and nearly a full touchdown on around 20 carries, keeping him firmly in the mid-range RB1 conversation.
