Who Should I Start? Miles Sanders or James Cook

Friday, October 10, 5:02 PM

Dallas Cowboys running back Miles Sanders (ankle, knee) has been moved to season-ending injured reserve, according to Patrick Walker of the Dallas Cowboys. Sanders was limited in practice on Wednesday before missing Thursday's practice, but now his season is over as he deals with multiple injuries to his ankle and knee. The 28-year-old served as the primary backup running back to Javonte Williams over the first four games of the season before missing Week 5. Rookie Jaydon Blue was active in his place and should step into a larger role now with Sanders out. Blue shouldn't be in lineups for Week 6, but he is an interesting speculative pickup ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook has been on a terror in his fourth season in the NFL, totaling 1,287 scrimmage yards and nine touchdowns in 11 games. Despite the Bills struggling against the Houston Texans in Week 12, Cook had a big game, totaling 129 yards and a touchdown on 20 attempts. Cook has ascended in every season he's been in the NFL, jumping from a 16.7 PPR points per game average in 2024 to an 18.7 average this season. While Cook has been matchup-proof this season, the Steelers are very tough against the run, allowing the sixth-fewest fantasy points to running backs this season. Despite the difficult matchup, Cook is a sure-fire RB1 in fantasy this week, as he looks to continue his dominance.
