Who Should I Start? Chris Olave or James Cook

Sunday, January 7, 5:43 PM

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave grabbed all three targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 48-17 win over the Atlanta Falcons. The second-year receiver now has back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, finishing the year with 1,067 yards and four touchdowns. Olave and the Saints will now eagerly await the results of the Green Bay-Chicago game and the Seattle-Arizona game, as they can make the playoffs with a Green Bay and Seattle loss.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook bounced back from being benched last year and enters his third season in the NFL in 2024 as the unquestioned lead back with a giant gap between him and either Ty Johnson or rookie Ray Davis. Cook should continue to push toward some of the heaviest involvement the Bills have seen in recent years out of their top back. Johnson's game is similar to Cook's, so he'll likely have a game-day role when Cook needs a breather. The Bills are hoping Davis can add power and short-yardage ability, something the team has been wanting to add for years to the backfield. The 24-year-old Cook had a 1,000-yard rushing season in 2023 but added just two rushing TDs. What Cook lacks in scoring opportunities, he could make up for with his pass-catching abilities and sheer volume in 2024.
