Why It Matters: Cook didn't find a lot of room to operate in Week 1, settling for a 13-57-0 line, so it was good to see him more involved (and more effective) on Thursday night. At a time when so many teams utilize committees and change-of-pace backs, Cook is a legitimate workhorse as Ray Davis rarely sees the field outside of blowouts. As long as Cook stays healthy, he should be locked into your lineup as an RB1.
