Seems for certain he will get more carries and pass receptions and he's earning it.  He and Harris should be a nice combo, plus whoever they might still add.  Now go draft at least one quality O-lineman Beane.    

but wait-

we need to trade up to get Robinson so Cook can ride the pine

that's quality roster building and virtue signaling

Early Fantasy Football Breakout Candidates

Which RB has the best shot of having a breakout year in 2022 and why?

“Cook, a 2nd round pick of Buffalo in 2022, may have only finished as RB51 in ppg last year but is primed for a second-year jump. Cook finished with the highest breakaway run rate of any running back while also finishing second in true yards per carry and third in yards per touch. While Buffalo may have signed Damien Harris, Cook finished top-20 among RBs in PFF REC grade and Yards Per Route Run, indicating that Cook can fill a 3rd down role with a pass-catching skill set. Bills GM Brandon Beane said recently, “We’re excited about Cook, and looking forward to what he can do in Year 2, especially with an expanded workload and more touches.” Cook checks boxes for a potential breakout: Good offense, 3-down skill set, efficiency metrics, Day 2 draft capital, and improvement during his rookie year.”

“The addition of Damien Harris has dimmed James Cook’s star, but his path to breakout town still exists. Entering year two and without Devin Singletary  on the roster, it’s not hard to envision Cook’s opportunity share growing from the paltry 31.2% (55th) he saw last year. A moderate volume spike for the hyper-efficient Cook could go a long way in one of the league’s best offenses. Last year Cook was 17th in fantasy points per opportunity, third in yards per touch, and first in breakaway run rate (per Playerprofiler.com). Cook will have to compete with Harris for early down work and red zone opportunities, but he should have all the passing game work to himself. That’s fantastic on a team likely top 10 in neutral passing rate in 2023.”

I hate to break the news to him but the nickelback is still in New England. He's playing with a quarterback now.

Bills dodge bullet with McKissic

J.D. McKissic released

Transaction date: March 14

Releasing J.D McKissic ends the running back’s time with the Washington Commanders. Whether this is the end of his career is the next question.

 

McKissic missed 15 games over the past two years due to season-ending neck injuries after signing a two-year deal in March 2022. That took the pass-catching threat — 150 receptions over three seasons — off the field for a team that lacked scoring punch. The release puts $2 million of dead money on the team’s salary cap.

Sometimes the biggest blessings are the wishes that don't come true. Antonio Brown and now McKissic, good near misses.

That song is fantastic. For everyone that complains about Nickleback - and I admit there was a point when all music being released had started to sound like them - this song is just 👍

Wow does Wayne Gretzky look young.

It's a very good song.

 

Problem I have with Nickelback is that every one of their songs sounds like "Rock Star."

Oops, should probably put this here, too:

Always liked Latavius Murray. Not sure what is left in the tank, but he and Harris can do the dirty work and keep the hits off of Cook and Hines. Though Cook was cooking by season end. Showed really nice burst and a lot of big runs (15+ yards)

I like him as well but I think he’s a long, LONG shot to make the roster. He’s camp meat unless he beats out a teams guy which I think would be a surprise.
