Fantasy Impact
Cook saw 28 total touches on Sunday, which is a lot more than he is used to. He did pretty well with his opportunities, ending the game as the team's leading rusher and totaling 125 yards on the day. His fantasy total didn't quite reflect his value in real life, however, as he wasn't able to get into the end zone and caught just one pass over the course of the game.
