Bills' James Cook: Dominates in win over Browns
James Cook carried the ball 16 times for 117 yards and two touchdowns during Buffalo's 23-20 win over Cleveland on Sunday. He also secured one of two targets for 17 yards.Cook has now surpassed 100 rushing yards in back-to-back games, as well as four of his last five appearances. He did much of his damage versus the Browns in the first half, scoring on a highlight-reel 44-yard run early in the first quarter, before finding paydirt from three yards out late in the second quarter. Cook remains entrenched as the focal point of Buffalo's offense and is locked in as a high-end RB1 for fantasy purposes heading into a home matchup against the Eagles in Week 17. The Buffalo Bills will then close out the regular season with a favorable home game against the Jets in Week 18.

Bills' James Cook: Three-TD day against tough defense
James Cook rushed 22 times for 107 yards and two touchdowns while bringing in two of three targets for four yards and another score in the Buffalo Bills' 35-31 win over the Patriots on Sunday.Facing a notoriously stingy Patriots run defense, Cook carefully picked his spots throughout the afternoon and consistently churned out productive gains. He was a critical contributor to the Bills' second-half rally, recording three- and 11-yard touchdown runs. Those scoring scampers were preceded by a five-yard scoring grab with just under two minutes remaining in the first half, giving Cook his first three-TD tally of the season. The star running back figures to be heavily involved again in a Week 16 road matchup against the Browns next Sunday.

Bills' James Cook: Tops century mark against Cincy
James Cook carried the ball 18 times for 80 yards and caught both his targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 39-34 win over the Bengals.The star running back had a little trouble holding onto the ball in snowy, cold conditions, committing two fumbles and losing one, but he reached 100 scrimmage yards for a fourth straight game and the sixth time in the last seven contests. Over that stretch, Cook has piled up 771 rushing yards and three TDs on the ground while adding a 17-178-1 line on 17 targets. He'll face a much tougher test in Week 15 against the Patriots' stingy run defense.

Bills' James Cook: Huge gains on 35 touches Sunday
James Cook took 32 carries for 144 yards and a lost fumble while bringing in all three of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 26-7 win over Pittsburgh.Cook set new season highs in carries and touches while gashing the Steelers' defense for 177 yards on the road. Buffalo's workhorse also finished as the team's leading receiver while accounting for 48 percent of the offense's net yards Sunday. The only blemish on yet another dominant rushing performance was a pair of fumbles, only one of which was scooped up by the defense. Cook had coughed up just one fumble over his previous 11 contests, which looks minuscule standing next to the nine touchdowns and 1,464 yards from scrimmage the fantasy stud has provided managers this season. A tasty matchup against the Bengals' defense awaits Cook and the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.

The star running back continued to consistently generate solid gains against a tough Texans defense the rest of the night as well, and the productive performance locked in his third consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season.

Bills' James Cook: Claws way to over 100 total yards
James Cook rushed 16 times for 48 yards and secured all three targets for 66 yards in the Buffalo Bills' 44-32 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.Cook unsurprisingly found running room at a premium against a stingy Buccaneers front, but he was able to salvage his fantasy day with his best work of the season as a receiver. The fourth-year pro contributed a 25-yard touchdown reception on his three catches, and he finished with a season-high receiving yardage total. The going doesn't get any easier for Cook in Week 12, however, as the Bills face a tough Texans defense on the road in a Thursday night matchup.

Bills' James Cook: Opportunities capped in loss
James Cook rushed 13 times for 53 yards and brought in all five targets for 24 yards in the Buffalo Bills' 30-13 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.Cook was involved as a receiver at his highest clip since Week 1, as the Bills were already down 16-0 at halftime and therefore were in catch-up mode throughout the second half. The talented back did run hard with his limited opportunities on the ground, but he finished tied for a season low in carries and also lost a fumble in Dolphins territory early in the second quarter that helped lead to a Miami field goal. The downturn was drastic after Cook had rushed for 330 yards and two touchdowns over the previous two games, but he'll look to bounce back in Week 11 at home against a typically stingy Buccaneers run defense that showed some cracks against the Patriots' TreVeyon Henderson on Sunday.
