James Cook tallies 153 total yards and a TD in Week 6 win

James Cook rushed 22 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and caught three passes for 58 yards in the Bills' 33-30 win over the Raiders.

By Cole Hartwell

James Cook rushed 22 times for 95 yards and a touchdown and brought in all three targets for 58 yards in the Bills’ 33-30 win over the Raiders on Sunday, according to RotoWire. He has now scored a rushing touchdown in five straight games, the longest active streak in the league, per Underdog NFL.

What happened

Cook’s rushing line over his last five games is 22 carries for 95 yards and a touchdown, 25 for 111 and two touchdowns, 12 for 75 and a touchdown, 24 for 154 and a touchdown, and 21 for 135 and a touchdown, according to Underdog NFL. Underdog NFL notes that Cook holds the current longest active streak of games with a rushing touchdown at five games.

Cook also added 58 receiving yards on three catches against the Raiders. A video from inside the NFL shared by Schultz_Report showed Cook on the sideline after a touchdown pass by Josh Allen, saying, “I don’t know how you do it, boy!”

Context

Cook has 89.3 PPR points through Week 5, with 95 carries for 532 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns, along with 11 targets for seven receptions and 31 receiving yards. He is averaging 17.9 PPR points per game and has played 67% of snaps. His Week 6 projection is 17.2 PPR points.

Ty Johnson is second on the Bills’ running back depth chart, with 23.4 PPR points in three games, rushing once for three yards and catching 10 passes for 131 yards. Ray Davis is third, with 6.3 PPR points, four carries for eight rushing yards and two receptions for 35 yards.

Cook fumbled twice in Week 5’s Monday night overtime win against the Los Angeles Rams, prompting head coach Joe Brady to say his carries will decrease if the fumbles continue. “At some point there has to be consequences when we’re putting negative stuff out there,” Brady said.

What’s next

Cook’s Week 6 game against the Las Vegas Raiders has already been played.

James Cook rushing last 5 games: 22/95/1 25/111/2 12/75/1 24/154/1 21/135/1 Current longest active streak of games with a rushing TD (5).

🏈 Fantasy impact

Cook continues to be a high-end fantasy running back, and this 153-yard, one-touchdown performance reinforces his role as the Bills’ clear lead back. The five-game rushing touchdown streak shows consistent scoring ability. For fantasy managers, Cook remains a top-10 start every week. The fumble concerns haven’t reduced his workload; he has at least 12 carries in each of his last five games, including 22 against the Raiders. Ty Johnson is the handcuff, but he’s not a standalone start. Cook’s Week 6 projection of 17.2 PPR points indicates continued high expectations, and he exceeded that with 24.3 PPR points (95 rush yards + 1 rush TD + 58 receiving yards + 3 receptions = 24.3) against Las Vegas.
