A beat reporter suggests Rachaad White (and whoever else, most likely Jacory Croskey-Merritt) have been splitting reps in camp
White is your rock solid vet who can do everything and take care of the ball (9 fumbles in 882 career touches)
Bill fumbled 4 times on 184 touches as a rookie and averaged just 0.52 yards per route run on 131 routes (small sample size, but historically bad)
He was essentially a zero in the passing game, whereas White’s made a living catching passes (both in the NFL and with Jayden Daniels back in college)
White was in the 97th percentile for college target share (per @rotounderworld) and averaged over 41 receiving yards per game in his second season playing with JD5
Austin Ekeler had double digit PPR fantasy points in 8 of 12 games played for the Commanders in 2024 while battling multiple injuries
The Commanders were bottom of the league in RB targets last season and brought in one of the best receiving backs in the NFL to change that
James Cook:
- 32 TDs in last 33 games
- 1900+ scrimmage yards last season
- Led the league in rushing with 1,621
- One of the best O-lines in the league
- A HC that wants to run the ball
- 26 years old (prime age)
He’s my 1.05 in half PPR
The case for James Cook as RB1 (in fantasy)
1. Cook led the NFL in rushing last year - 1,621 yards - as a two-down back. He had touchdown regression (12 TDs) and still finished as RB5. This is the floor
2a. ".... but you just admitted he doesn't catch passes. Gibbs and Bijan catch 60+ balls a year - Cook's never hit 40"
2b. Cook has flashed - 54 targets back in 2023, before McDermott (and Brady) transitioned to a more balanced offensive strategy. Now Brady is fully unleashed and stories coming out of the Bills training camp say Brady/Carmichael want the backs more involved in the passing game - follow @Cover1
3. The Bills had a top 10 O-line last year. That unit is still mostly in tact. Now add a healthier and more dynamic receiving group +DJ Moore and you should have the same holes, lighter boxes, and more opportunities for Cook to break a big one
4. The defense is transitioning to an aggressive 3-4 under Jim Leonhard that will give up occasional big plays. This could lead to more possessions, more volume, and more red zone opportunities
5. Buffalo has the highest scoring offense in football over the last five years. Give him 45-50 catches, average TD production, a similar o-line, and he's going to smash
Don't mind me, just dropping some urls here, no reason at all.

Another great Dodgers meal deal:
Every time the Dodgers turn a double play at home this season (win or lose), you get a free Double Char with an $8 purchase. I just tried it and got a $9.39 Double Char with cheese for free. My wife got the Santa Barbara Char.
Here's the thematic flowchart for the LA Crime Trilogy:
CHINATOWN: Los Angeles is built on lies. Corruption is incestuously locked into its foundation.
LA CONFIDENTIAL: Los Angeles is now a city trying to hold its own fragile myths together. The civilized illusion is only held together by primal violence.
HEAT: Los Angeles in its final form. Moral ambivalence where criminality and justice are constructs. Each man builds his own code, mistaking it for free will inside a city with no memory.
