James Cook News
Wednesday, March 18, 3:05 PM
The Buffalo Bills are in win-now mode, and running back James Cook is one of their primary weapons on offense behind Pro Bowl quarterback Josh Allen. Cook made his third straight Pro Bowl in 2025 in his fourth year in the NFL and had a career year, leading the league in rushing yardage (1,621) with 12 rushing touchdowns on a career-high 309 carries in 17 regular-season starts. The 26-year-old led the NFL with 16 rushing touchdowns in 2024 and doesn't appear to be slowing down anytime soon. The former second-round pick in 2022 out of Georgia finished as the RB5 in half-PPR scoring in 2025, behind only Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Bijan Robinson, and Jahmyr Gibbs. In addition to his big numbers on the ground, Cook added 33 receptions for 291 yards and another two touchdowns through the air. Cook will go into the 2026 campaign as the clear workhorse for a Bills' offense that led the league with 159.6 rushing yards per game last year. He'll give fantasy managers a strong floor as a high-end RB1 this fall.

De'Von Achane News
Monday, March 30, 6:42 PM
Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan called running back De'Von Achane one of the "three pillars" as a player he wants to build around and lock in on a contract extension, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Sullivan went on to say at the NFL owners meetings that he's not looking to trade Achane. Rumors circulated that Achane might be on the move this offseason after the new front office already cut both quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and traded Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Achane, 24, apparently isn't going anywhere and will be part of the rebuild in South Beach. The former third-rounder in 2023 out of Texas A&M is one of the most explosive dual-threat backs in the NFL, and volume certainly won't be an issue as the only real reliable offensive threat for new quarterback Malik Willis. Achane is coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season with 12 total touchdowns. He's a clear RB1 on volume alone, but his ceiling could be limited in what figures to be an inconsistent Miami offense.
