Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or James Cook

Sunday, December 1, 4:46 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon bounced back from a season-worst day last week by going for 101 yards on 20 carries and also catching four passes for 18 yards in a 23-20 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday. The veteran back was efficient on the ground after a slow start, and continued being a major asset as a runner who catches passes and gets red zone work. His six targets were second on the team, and his seven-yard touchdown marked the seventh time in eight weeks that he found the end zone. Mixon should continue being a fantasy lineup staple after the Texans take their bye in Week 14.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 14 times for 107 yards and a touchdown in the team's 35-10 win over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football. He also caught one pass for 13 yards. Backup running back Ray Davis scored Buffalo's first touchdown, only to be outdone by Cook one possession later. The 25-year-old sprinted 65 yards for his touchdown on the first play of the drive. The Bills relied on the running game in the snowy conditions. Josh Allen only attempted 17 passes and the starters were pulled early in the fourth quarter because of Buffalo's big lead. Cook and the Bills travel to Los Angeles in Week 14.
