Buffalo Bills running back James Cook carried the ball 23 times for 120 yards and a touchdown in the team's 31-7 victory over the Denver Broncos in the first round of the playoffs. The Bills attacked Denver's run defense early and often. Cook picked up 62 yards and his score on the team's first two drives. Cook's 23 carries were a season-high mark for rush attempts and touches. Unfortunately, he wasn't involved, or needed, in the passing game (zero targets). A matchup against one of the league's top run defenses (Baltimore) is next for Cook and the Buffalo Bills.

Seattle Seahawks running back Zach Charbonnet did not deliver for fantasy managers in Week 18. He ran for 59 yards and gained 32 yards on a lateral from wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Charbonnet was in a great position to succeed as the starter. However, Seattle rotated running back Kenny McIntosh into the lineup consistently. As such, Charbonnet did not have the same volume he has enjoyed in his other starts this season. Charbonnet's future in fantasy is interesting. The Seahawks seem very committed to starting running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle). However, Charbonnet has shown this season that he can carry the load when called upon and Walker has proven himself to be injury prone throughout his career. At the very least, Charbonnet has proven himself to be an excellent complimentary piece to Walker. Charbonnet should have a chance to be a consistent contributor next year. His eight rushing touchdowns were excellent this year. Time will tell what Seattle decides to do with their offense.
