Touchdowns and fumbles mark wild night for James Cook

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook had 25 carries, 111 yards, and two touchdowns during the team’s overtime win against the Los Angeles Rams. Cook, who had one catch for seven yards, also fumbled twice, losing one.

Why It Matters: Cook looked electric at times on Monday night, ripping off some long runs and scoring a pair of touchdowns. He also continued to have issues with ball security, fumbling twice, including one in overtime that set up the Rams for a game-winning field goal attempt. The Bills are likely to live with Cook’s mishaps, as he’s a far more dangerous runner than Ray Davis or Ty Johnson, but it’s still something to keep an eye on. Cook is a solid RB1 that sits just a notch below the top tier where Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Kenneth Walker III (at least so far) currently reside.
