James Cook quietly put together one of the most efficient fantasy seasons in football — ranking #2 in PPR points per touch across all running backs, behind only Gibbs. He wasn’t just productive; he was explosive, reliable, and involved in every phase of the offense.
He enters 2025 at age 25, right at the peak of his physical prime, and returns to a Bills offense that continues to hum. The offensive line remains solid, the system is familiar, and Josh Allen’s presence ensures a high touchdown ceiling for the RB position.
Buffalo leaned on Cook in critical spots all season — early downs, two-minute drills, and inside the red zone. He responded with 1,367 yards and 18 touchdowns on under 250 touches. His ability to create chunk plays and finish drives makes him script-proof — whether Buffalo’s up or chasing points, Cook is staying on the field.
Ray Davis showed flashes, but his 113 carries for 442 yards (3.9 YPC) and limited usage prove he’s more of a role player than a workload challenger. Cook’s touch share and snap count should only increase — and if he pushes closer to 280–300 touches, the top-5 RB ceiling is well within reach.
He may not get the national spotlight like Bijan Robinson or Saquon Barkley, but James Cook is a fantasy RB1 in disguise — an elite blend of role security, age, explosiveness, and usage.
One of the most overlooked high-ceiling picks in 2025. Draft with confidence.
