James Cook III

Put him in your lineup this week — he’s getting most of the work and is being used a lot on pass plays. Just watch a minor hamstring, the chance his touchdowns dry up, and another back cutting into snaps, so consider trading him if someone offers a really good deal.

Don't start Dalvin Cook in Week 1 — Baltimore is brutal against the run, he barely gained yards or scored on them last year, and he could see limited work early. For the season, don't give up a lot to get him; expect fewer touchdowns than last year and treat him as a middle-of-the-road starter.

Draft him in the mid rounds. He’s set to play in a strong Bills offense so he’s a solid choice for your second running back, but he splits time and had a lot of touchdowns last year that might not repeat, so don’t grab him early.

You should consider drafting James Cook pretty early. He's got a good chance to get a lot of carries and score touchdowns, plus his team's blockers are strong. Getting him later in the first round feels like a steal, especially since he might catch more passes this year.
