Who Should I Start? James Cook or Puka Nacua

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.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua continues to be a spectacular fantasy option heading into Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 24-year-old has 61 catches for 711 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns this year, ranking as the overall WR4 in PPR leagues -- and he would be in the running for WR1 if he hadn't missed a game and a half in October. Nacua should continue to be deployed in all fantasy leagues, and managers shouldn't give the decision a second thought. In his last outing against the Niners, the star receiver caught 10 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown. Meanwhile, San Francisco has surrendered the sixth-most receptions and eighth-most receiving yards to opposing wide receivers in 2025.
