I’m working on a trade for him. What does the board think about James Cook the rest of the year? I’m high on him. Anything I’m missing?

You and everyone else (including probably his owner). Might need to overpay. What does his owner need

I called him a steal in august and think he’s still got more upside as long as he stays healthy.

Immense talent, in a loaded offense that is prioritizing running and underneath passing

Would you trade DJ Moore and DK for Cook and Higgins. I obviously have to make a move. I lost Chubb and Dobbins or I would be sitting pretty instead of 1-3.

Cook has great hands for a RB and is pretty involved in the passing game which increases his value. I think his role there will continue to increase throughout the season.

Right now he’s mostly doing screens and dump-offs. If the Bills have start having him do Texas and Wheel routes like he did at UGA, he will be a league winner.

That being said, the Bills seem to favor Damien Harris and Latavious Murray in the redzone, which hurts his value.

This will continue to be an issue IMO as Cook doesn’t strike me as a guy who can carry it 14+ times a game for a full season. He’s gotten plenty of carries so far though.

Without question. Cook is a top 12ish RB rest of season

I traded him for kamara. His usage is great and he’s productive but as soon as they get in the redzone they yank him. It was infuriating
