James Cook Struggles To Find Running Room, Scores Against Tennessee

Sunday, October 20, 7:08 PM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 12 times for 32 yards and a touchdown in the team's 34-10 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. For the first time this season, Cook did not record a reception. The touchdown saved what was otherwise an inefficient day on the ground. Cook returned to the lineup after a one-game absence and handled the early-down work for the Bills in the first half. Backup rookie Ray Davis (five carries, 41 yards, one touchdown) got the majority of his production in the second half. Expect Cook to remain the starter and handle most of the running back touches against Seattle in Week 8.

Demario Douglas Not Involved After Returning Sunday

Sunday, October 20, 6:54 PM

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught two of three targets for 14 yards during Sunday's Week 7 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 23-year-old was very involved on the opening drive, but his productivity dwindled as the game progressed. He missed nearly a quarter while battling symptoms of an illness, and although he did check back into the game in the second half, he did not catch a pass after returning to the field. Douglas is a candidate to bounce back in Week 7 assuming he's able to shake the symptoms of his illness. He caught six passes for 92 yards and one touchdown in Week 6 with Drake Maye under center, and managers are anxious for him to replicate that stat line with the No. 3 pick playing quite well. Douglas ranks as a low-end WR3/FLEX option heading into next Sunday's divisional contest.
