Should You Start or Sit James Cook in Week 3?
Cook just can’t stop scoring touchdowns these days, and there’s no real reason to think that his RB1-level production falls off a cliff any time soon.
He’s getting the high-leverage touches (of which there are many, thanks to his quarterback’s superpowers), the pass work, and everything in between. Defenses are so terrified of what Allen can do to them that they’d happily give Cook room to run if it means that Allen isn’t carving them up down the field.
Cook owns one of the better floor/ceiling combinations at the position, and I expect to see another top 10 showing at home in this island game.
