That is down from 2025, when he averaged 20.5 carries plus targets per game (17.8 PPR per game over 17 games, finished RB6); one game is a small sample.

▼3 — Everyone's still pricing James Cook off his 17.8 PPG 2025 finish, but Week 1 gave him just 13 carries for 57 yards and 4 targets. I'll fade the name until the touches show up again.
