James Cook could have increased usage in the passing game after Nyheim Hines suffered a knee injury that is expected to end his 2023 season. The unfortunate situation leaves the door open for Cook to garner even more receiving work out of the backfield.
Fantasy Impact: While it’s unfortunate for Hines and wish him a speedy recovery, this does help boost James Cook’s stock. However, Hines was primarily used as a special teams player during his time in Buffalo, so it’s unclear exactly how much of a threat Hines truly was to Cook’s potential workload. Either way, Cook is shaping up to be a nice value in fantasy drafts regardless. He should be seen as an RB3 with a lot of potential upside.
