The Top RBs To Start in Week 15
James Cook, RB, Buffalo Bills (vs. DAL)
Analysis by Kyle Soppe | The second-year back piled up 141 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in last week’s critical win over the Kansas City Chiefs, as his usage continues to trend in a positive direction (100-plus yards in four straight games).

The matchup with the Dallas Cowboys isn’t great, but given the versatility of Cook (16 targets over his past three games) and Buffalo’s creativity with respect to getting him in favorable spots, he should be locked into your RB2 spot — especially with his 34-25 snap edge over Latavius Murray in Week 14.
