Who Should I Start? James Cook or De'Von Achane

Tuesday, April 22, 2:59 PM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook did not report to the start of the organization's voluntary OTAs, according to general manager Brandon Beane. The former second-round pick out of Georgia posted his second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season in 2024 and is seeking a contract extension worth $15 million annually. In 16 games last season, Cook posted 1,009 yards on 207 carries and caught 32 passes for 258 yards. He found the end zone 18 times. It remains to be seen if Cook is a candidate to hold out of mandatory OTAs or training camp, but for now, it's too early to have any significant takeaways. If he's the clear starter in Buffalo next season, he'll continue to have RB1 upside in an offense led by MVP quarterback Josh Allen.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane defended his teammates during last Friday's appearance on the 'Up and Adams Show' regarding wide receiver Tyreek Hill's most recent comments about the team. Hill has rocked the boat a few times this offseason and recently reportedly stated Miami needed to add some "dogs" to the roster. Achane, however, disagreed and was a bit more optimistic. "We got dogs," said the 23-year-old. "We just need more people to bring it out, you know what I'm saying?" He'd also go on to say that he left some big runs on the table last season and appears focused on eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark in 2025 after noting he felt like he could have in 2024. It was a disappointing year for Miami, and the former third-round pick remarked that he was even more frustrated that the season had ended when the offense finally began to gel. Whether they will succeed next season remains to be seen, but Achane will surely be one of the first few names off the board in 2025 fantasy drafts.
