Who Should I Start? Aaron Jones or James Cook

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Matt LaFleur. Jones suffered a sprained MCL in Week 11 and will now sit out his second straight game after not practicing at all this week. Given the fact that Jones has yet to practice since injuring his knee, he won't be a lock to return in Week 14 on Monday night against the New York Giants, either. AJ Dillon dominated touches in Green Bay's backfield in the Thanksgiving win over the Detroit Lions and will likely do so again this Sunday against the Chiefs, albeit in a tough matchup. Patrick Taylor will once again serve as Dillon's primary backup in Week 13. Dillon will have volume-based RB2 upside in fantasy lineups.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook could have enjoyed a much bigger fantasy day in Sunday's 37-34 overtime defeat to Philadelphia Eagles, compiling 16 carries for 43 yards with a season-high six receptions for 57 yards. Cook dropped a beautifully floated pass from quarterback Josh Allen on a wheel route in the first quarter, squandering a would-be touchdown. Cook remained heavily involved as a receiver for the rest of the contest in spite of that, recording season-high receiving numbers across the board, which is a promising development for those hoping to see the Bills utilize Cook's elusiveness. It was always likely to be tough sledding for the 24-year-old in wet conditions against Philadelphia's vaunted rushing defense, but it was also encouragingly Cook's third consecutive 100-yard performance. Barring a post-bye Leonard Fournette elevation from the practice squad, Cook should remain a fine RB2 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 10.
