James Cook Runs For 100 Yards, Two Scores Against Seattle

Sunday, October 27, 9:50 PM

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 17 times for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the team's 31-10 win over the Seattle Seahawks. He also caught three passes for 22 yards. It was an all-around tremendous effort from Cook, who ran with great vision and agility and plowed through defenders. His scores came in the second half as the Bills played with a lead. Cook has a stranglehold on the Buffalo backfield, despite Ray Davis' emergence in Week 6. Cook will be an RB1 next week against Miami. He scored three touchdowns against the Dolphins in Week 2.

Xavier Legette Trending Up Ahead Of Week 9

Tuesday, October 29, 2:45 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has had a modest start to his NFL career, catching 22 of his 35 targets for 211 yards and three touchdowns through his first eight games. However, the Panthers are trading Diontae Johnson to the Baltimore Ravens, opening the door for Legette to be the clear WR1 for Bryce Young or Andy Dalton. It's worth noting Adam Thielen (hamstring) is eligible to return from Injured Reserve and rookie Jalen Coker has come on in recent weeks, but expect the Panthers to feature its first-round pick heavily with an eye toward the future. Legette's upside is higher with Dalton in the lineup, but even if Young takes over the QB1 duties for the foreseeable future, Legette should see targets in bunches.
