All season, DeVon Achane was crowned the most underrated RB1. That still may be true, but James Cook is giving him a run for his money. With 14 touchdowns on the season, and five in his last two games, Cook is getting hot at the right time for fantasy championships. Over his last six weeks, he has five games inside the top 10 at the position and now faces a surprisingly vulnerable Eagles defense. The Eagles are allowing the seventh most fantasy points to the RB position on the season. Most notably, they are allowing the sixth most fantasy points to RBs in the red zone. With 80-plus rushing yards in all of his last five games, with four topping 100 yards, he is the perfect mix of floor and ceiling for your fantasy championship match.
