Who Should I Start? James Cook or Ashton Jeanty

Saturday, November 8, 11:51 AM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has been removed from the injury report and will play Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, presumably without any limitations. This is great news for Cook and his fantasy managers, as a matchup against the Dolphins provides an enormous opportunity for the 26-year-old to rack up fantasy points. Miami has been miserable against the run this year, surrendering the third-most rushing yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. Cook is the overall RB7 in PPR leagues so far with 867 rushing yards, 100 receiving yards, and seven touchdowns. In his last outing against Miami, he accrued 118 scrimmage yards and one touchdown. Fantasy managers should have full confidence deploying Cook as a mid-to-high RB1 this week.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Ashton Jeanty had 19 carries for 60 rushing yards and a touchdown during Thursday's Week 10 loss against the Denver Broncos. He also caught three of his five targets for an additional three receiving yards. The rookie was relatively inefficient on the ground and through the air, but managers should be intrigued by his high-volume role and touchdown despite the loss. He played 87 percent of the offensive snaps on Thursday Night Football, maintaining a significant workload in a slightly negative game script scenario. He should continue to be viewed as a fringe top-12 fantasy running back.
