James Cook had a season-high 22 touches in the Bills' recent game against the Eagles, but his role has not necessarily grown. Despite the high number of touches, Cook's carry and opportunity shares have not increased in the past two weeks. However, Buffalo's running backs have seen an increase in target share, which could benefit Cook's fantasy numbers. Cook should be a solid PPR contributor going forward, but his touch counts may not be consistently high due to the involvement of other running backs like Latavius Murray and Ty Johnson.
