James Cook has posted seven rushing touchdowns through seven 2026 games for the Buffalo Bills, building on a heavy workload of roughly 20 carries per contest and a 5.1 yards-per-carry average that ranks among league leaders. Recent form includes a six-game touchdown streak and multiple 100-plus scrimmage-yard outings, supported by the Bills’ top-ranked offense and stable offensive line. Ball-security concerns stand out, however, with four fumbles (two lost) prompting public comments from head coach Joe Brady about potential carry reductions. Cook remains the clear lead back with no active injury designation after clearing a Week 8 concussion evaluation. The remaining schedule includes tough road tests against Minnesota and other stout defenses, while his 2025 output of 12 rushing scores provides a benchmark for a full 17-game season.
