RB James Cook finished as the RB3 in Week 6. He ran 22 times for 96 yards and a TD and caught all 3 targets for 58 yards. He played 45 of 68 snaps (66%), with Ty Johnson (12) and Ray Davis (9) mixing in sparingly. Cook also did not fumble in this game after criticism from HC Joe Brady coming into the week.

The offseason arrival of OC Pete Carmichael sparked plenty of speculation that we'd see more receiving work for Buffalo RBs in 2026. Training camp has supported that notion so far.

Bills RB James Cook (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That's a good sign for his Week 10 availability, but we'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for the Dolphins game. RBs Ray Davis and Ty Johnson remain worth stashing if you have the roster space.

Bills RB James Cook did not practice on Wednesday and is on the injury report with foot and ankle injuries. He carried 27 times in the Week 9 win over the Chiefs, including on Buffalo's final offensive snap. So this could be more of a rest day for Cook. But we'll look for further updates on his status and see if he practices tomorrow. RB Ty Johnson has played ahead of RB Ray Davis all season, so we'd project something close to a 50/50 backfield split if Cook ends up missing Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins.

Bills RB James Cook continued his hot start to the 2025 season in Sunday’s win over New Orleans. Cook rushed 22 times for 117 yards and 1 score, giving him at least one TD in all four games.

Bills RB Ty Johnson played well ahead of RB Ray Davis in Thursday night's win over the Dolphins. Johnson out-snapped Davis 15 to 4, playing more on early downs (7 snaps to 3) and third downs (4 to 0). Johnson finished with 3 carries for 13 yards, plus 1 catch on 2 targets for eight yards. Davis didn't record a carry and failed to catch his only target.

Bills RB James Cook was limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring issue. We don't have any other details, but it's a positive sign that Cook was able to get on the field at all this early in the week. He can stay penciled into Week 2 fantasy lineups for now, but his status bears monitoring over the next few days. RB Ray Davis remains one of the highest-upside handcuffs in fantasy football and should remain stashed on fantasy benches despite a quiet Week 1.

The Bills and RB James Cook have agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal with $30 million guaranteed, according to his agent. That makes Cook the league's sixth highest paid RB in average annual salary, just ahead of Kyren Williams' new deal at $11 million per year.

Bills RB James Cook wasn't practicing Sunday. When asked why, he simply stood on "business". He has been seeking a new contract, but decided not to hold out. Cook has practiced sparingly during training camp, but could be moving to a "hold in" with no new progress on the deal.

Despite concern heading into camp that RB James Cook would "hold in" as he pursues a big contract extension, ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports that he has "fully participated" through the first two days of Bills training camp. That should keep him on track to remain the lead back for this season, but it sure doesn't sound like the two sides are headed for an extension agreement.

Bills RB Ray Davis (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens. He was limited in practice and remained in a red non-contact jersey all week. Davis still has work to do to clear protocol before kickoff. We'll keep you posted on his progress. Davis' absence would be a small boost to RB James Cook's carry projection.

Bills RB Ray Davis sustained a concussion in Sunday's Wild Card win over the Broncos. That leaves him iffy for next weekend's Divisional Round game vs. the Ravens. We'll track Davis' progress through the protocol throughout the coming week. Davis has been operating as Buffalo's No. 3 RB behind James Cook and Ty Johnson, so his absence wouldn't make much of a fantasy impact.

Bills RB James Cook ran for 104 yards and 2 TDs on 14 carries in Sunday's win over the Lions. What he didn't do, though, was see much receiving work. Cook also played just 41.4% of offensive snaps overall, his second-smallest share of the season.

Despite rushing for only 20 yards, Bills RB James Cook scored twice in a win over Kansas City. He added 5 catches (on 6 targets) for 7 yards.

Bills RB James Cook handled 10 of 17 team rush attempts for 44 yards in a close win over Miami. He led the RB group with 6 targets, posting 5 catches, 25 yards, and 1 drop.

Bills RB James Cook returned from injury and had the majority of RB touches (12 compared to nine for the rest of the Bills’ RBs). Cook finished with a stat line of 12 rushes for 32 yards and a TD. Ray Davis only had five carries but ran for 41 yards and a TD.

Bills RB Ray Davis (calf) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He hurt his calf near the end of last week’s game and wound up questionable on the final injury report for this one. The rookie built momentum with a strong Week 6 showing. But between the calf issue and RB James Cook’s return today, we’d try not to use Davis in Week 7 fantasy lineups.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He practiced all week, including full workouts on Thursday and Friday. It looks like Cook will be somewhere close to 100% for this one. RB Ray Davis, meanwhile, is listed as questionable with a calf issue. HC Sean McDermott said that Davis hurt his calf near the end of last week’s game and was bothered by it again on Thursday. The rookie was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday.

Bills RB James Cook (toe) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to play vs. the Titans this weekend, and it doesn't look like the toe will be a significant issue. The question now is whether Cook will lose more work to RB Ray Davis, who's coming off an impressive Week 6. We'll see about that, but Cook is still worth starting as a RB2 for most fantasy teams.
