Who Should I Start? Alec Ingold or James Cook

Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold has agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $17.2 million with the Miami Dolphins. He is now the highest-paid fullback in the NFL, passing Kyle Juszczyk. The 27-year-old spent three seasons with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders before joining the Dolphins last season and is a versatile piece of the team's explosive offense.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook started hot but faded late as his team was sent home in Sunday's 27-24 Divisional Round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, carrying 18 times for 61 yards and catching four passes for 21 yards. With the Bills dominating on the ground in the first half, Cook picked up one chunk gain after another. But the Chiefs stiffened up to stifle Cook during the second half, leaving the 24-year-old with a fairly quiet evening despite his second straight week with 22 touches. Cook undoubtedly took a big step forward in 2023 -- garnering his first Pro Bowl nod and placing third at his position in scrimmage yards -- but his inability to find the end zone was a major shortcoming. Totaling five TDs on the season on 325 touches including the playoffs, Cook also failed to reach the 90-total-yard threshold in any of his final five appearances. That probably shouldn't prevent Cook from being selected as a top-12 fantasy RB, however, in 2024 drafts.
