Buffalo Bills running back James Cook rushed 17 times for 123 yards with four receptions for 36 yards in the Sunday's 38-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. As expected, the 23-year-old started the contest but continued to miss out on quite a few high-value touches despite clearly running as the most explosive backfield option. Latavius Murray punched it in for a touchdown on Buffalo's first-quarter drive while Damien Harris hit paydirt on a one-yard plunge in the final period. Cook surely had a big day, but it could have been a monster one with the Bills marching up and down the field early and often. If this form of usage persists, the dynamic Cook could remain relegated to mid-tier RB2 territory for however long he doesn't seize the bulk of the red zone work. Nevertheless, he will be a good bet for 15+ touches in Week 3's visit with the Washington Commanders, where Buffalo could play with a lead once again.
