Delayed gratification could be the theme for Buffalo Bills running back James Cook.
Expectations were understandably high when the Bills selected him in the second round of the 2022 NFL draft. Taking a running back that high is a strong endorsement.
And while Cook didn't have a prolific college career (230 carries, 1,503 yards and 14 touchdowns in four seasons), his workload at Georgia meant his best days might be ahead of him.
Instead, the 23-year-old has run for 169 yards and one touchdown on 33 carries. His seven receptions for 96 yards have done little to help his fantasy football value.
The Bills also acquired Nyheim Hines from the Indianapolis Colts in the middle of the season. Through Hines has logged just 10 offensive snaps with Buffalo, that's bound to change because the team wouldn't have executed the trade if it didn't believe he'd play a meaningful role in the offense.
For fantasy football managers with Cook on their rosters, there isn't much reason to consider trading him now unless a rival manager is willing to go above and beyond in the deal.
Devin Singletary is a free agent in the offseason, and his return shouldn't be considered a foregone conclusion.
As well as Singletary has performed through his first four years in Buffalo, the Bills could easily prefer to lean on a younger replacement who also costs less in 2023. And if Singletary leaves, then Cook will be the primary beneficiary.
Should that become a reality, Cook's value will climb significantly ahead of next year. You could either move forward with him as a regular contributor in your lineup or sell relatively high in a trade.
According to FantasyPros, the default 2022 fantasy trade deadline is Nov. 19 in Yahoo and CBS fantasy leagues, while ESPN's is Nov. 30.

The Green Bay Packers are still on the outside looking in, but they earned their biggest win of the year by defeating the Dallas Cowboys 31-28 in overtime Sunday to end a five-game losing streak. Green Bay will continue to try to climb the ladder, but it faces another tough team in Week 11.
The Packers will host the Tennessee Titans in what might be one of the better Thursday Night Football matchups of the season. The Titans are coming off a 17-10 win over the Denver Broncos and have a firm grip on first place in the AFC South.
At this point in the season, the Packers need every win they can get if they hope to keep pace in the playoff hunt. Thursday's game could be a good opportunity for Green Bay to take advantage of a short week against a team that hasn't scored 20 points since Oct. 9.
After their loss to the Packers on Sunday, the Cowboys fell to third place in the NFC East. Dallas still has a solid position in the playoff race, but things won't get easier in Week 11 when it visits the surging Minnesota Vikings, who are riding a seven-game winning streak.
In the AFC, all eyes will be on the East division, which would have all four of its teams in the playoffs if the season ended today. The key game will be between the New York Jets and New England Patriots.
A win by the visiting Jets would propel them into first place in the AFC East and a top-four seed in the playoffs. However, a loss could drop them to last place in the division. New York suffered a 22-17 loss to New England at MetLife Stadium on Oct. 30 and will surely be out for revenge.
The Buffalo Bills will be looking to end a two-game skid when they host the Cleveland Browns. Buffalo's 33-30 overtime loss to Minnesota might have been the game of the year, but it dropped the team to third place in the AFC East.
The Bills still have one of the most talented rosters in the league and maintain their status as title contenders. They will have a prime bounce-back opportunity against a team that was defeated 39-17 on Sunday by the Miami Dolphins, who are off in Week 11.
Finally, the Kansas City Chiefs will have the chance to further cement their hold on the No. 1 seed when they visit the AFC West rival Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers need a win to stay on the cusp of the playoffs, which should make for a fiery matchup.
Bills Had 12 Men on Defense for Goal-to-Go Play in OT vs. Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings overcame improbable odds to beat the Buffalo Bills on Sunday while also overcoming poor officiating at the end of the 33-30 overtime win at Highmark Stadium.
The Bills defense had 12 players on the field during the Vikings' 1st-and-goal play from the 2-yard line in overtime, Kevin Seifert of ESPN confirmed.

Dalvin Cook was stopped for a three-yard loss on the play, and the Vikings settled for a field goal three plays later.
"I do believe there was 12 players on the field. ... I know it's moving pretty fast out there sometimes," Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell said after the game.
If the officials had caught the infraction, Minnesota would have gotten a 1st-and-goal from the 1-yard line and a better chance to end the game with a touchdown.
Instead, the goal-line stand helped Buffalo get another chance to tie or win. The Vikings still held on as Patrick Peterson intercepted Josh Allen on the next drive.
The missed call for too many men on the field wasn't the only officiating error that benefited the Bills late in the game.
After the Vikings took the lead in the final minute with a fumble recovered for a touchdown, Buffalo forced overtime with a five-play, 69-yard drive that resulted in a field goal. The biggest play on that drive was a 20-yard pass to Gabe Davis on the sideline.
Other angles of the play showed that Davis did not complete the catch, but the officials did not review it before the Bills snapped the ball.
"We were able—several plays after—to look at all the angles," referee Walt Anderson told the pool reporter after the game. "It would have been reversed to an incomplete pass because he did not maintain control of the ball after he hit the ground and the ball touched the ground out of bounds."
In both cases, the officiating mistakes gave the Bills extra chances to win.
Minnesota still prevailed, fighting back from being down 17 points in the second half to beat one of the NFL's best teams on the road. The Vikings improved to 8-1 while showcasing impressive resilience.
Josh Allen's Brutal Turnovers Draw Scrutiny as Bills Lose Instant Classic to Vikings

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is known for his steadiness in critical situations, but his blunder late in Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings wound up costing his team a victory.
After the Bills defense came up with a huge goal-line stop with under a minute left in the fourth quarter, Allen fumbled the snap from under center and the Vikings recovered the ball in the end zone for a go-ahead touchdown.
Allen orchestrated a drive that ended with a field goal to force overtime, but he threw a game-sealing interception in the extra period and Buffalo came up short in a 33-30 loss. After losing in consecutive weeks, the Bills are now 6-3 and fell out of first place in the AFC East.
Allen finished the game with 330 passing yards and a touchdown while adding a team-high 84 rushing yards. However, he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble, and all three turnovers proved costly against a surging Minnesota team that earned its seventh straight win thanks to his mistakes.
Fans on social media who tuned in for the game couldn't help but find fault in Allen's decision-making in clutch moments:
Game of the year ends on one of the worst picks of the year, from Josh Allen.
Tough loss for the #Bills. Another red zone INT thrown by Josh Allen. This one hurts for Buffalo. Meanwhile, hell of a comeback and fight and all that from the #Vikings.
This Bills/Vikings game was all the way bananas. A certified 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 🍌 special including a Josh Allen end zone fumble. Bills still have 37 seconds. stay tuned
The Bills lost 33-30 and fall to 6-3 and third place in the AFC East. Josh Allen and the offensive made crucial mistakes late. Allen has thrown 2+ interceptions in three straight games for the first time in his career. Bills squandered a 17-point lead.
Allen entered the year as the presumptive favorite to win NFL MVP. His performances in the Bills' back-to-back losses are far from the level we're accustomed to seeing from him. He also threw two picks in Buffalo's upset loss to the New York Jets last week.
The Bills will need Allen to get back on track if they hope to fulfill their expectations of competing for a Super Bowl this year. Buffalo will host the Cleveland Browns (3-6) next Sunday.
Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis' Fantasy Outlook with Josh Allen Rumored to Play Injured
Nov 13, 2022

One of the NFL's most dynamic aerial attacks won't be grounded after all.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is expected to play Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings despite an ulnar collateral ligament injury, per ESPN's Adam Schefter, which may have an adverse effect on Stefon Diggs and Gabriel Davis.
Through eight games, Diggs has 60 receptions for 857 yards and seven touchdowns. Davis (18 receptions, 451 yards, four touchdowns) is setting a noticeably better pace than he did in 2021.
With Allen on the mend, the Bills may rely more on a running back room that's gotten only moderate work so far this season. Starter Devin Singletary has only 79 rushing attempts, while rookie second-round pick James Cook has just 35 touches (28 carries, seven receptions).
It's unclear how much Allen's injury will impact his downfield throwing ability, which would impact Davis far more than Diggs, who tends to be involved in the offense all over the field.
Davis is a bigger variable, but he should still be considered a solid flex option in standard leagues. Diggs, of course, remains a plug-and-play must-start no matter who is under center for Buffalo.
Bills' Josh Allen Questionable for Week 10 vs. Vikings with Elbow Injury

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings amid his recovery from an elbow injury.
The MVP candidate missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning for a limited session Friday, according to the team's injury report.
Here is Josh Allen at the end of #Bills practice today.

Veteran backup Case Keenum will start if the franchise cornerstone is ruled out.
Allen suffered the injury during Buffalo's 20-17 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Monday the 26-year-old was being evaluated for an injury to his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) and related nerves around his elbow. The issue occurred during the Bills' final drive of the game when he was hit by Bryce Huff.
Allen remained in the game, even throwing a pass deep down the sideline that hit Gabe Davis in the hands though he was unable to hang onto the ball.
This marks the first significant injury Allen has suffered since his rookie season in 2018, when an elbow problem kept him out for four games.
Since returning from that injury, the Wyoming product has started 69 consecutive games between the regular season and playoffs. He has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL since the 2020 season and is on the shortlist of MVP contenders in 2022.
Allen has thrown for 2,403 yards, 19 touchdowns and has completed 64.1 percent of his pass attempts in eight games. He also leads the Bills with 392 rushing yards and four rushing touchdowns.
Given how much of the offense Allen is responsible for, losing him for any length of time would significantly impact what the Bills can do.
Keenum went 2-0 in two starts for the Cleveland Browns in 2021. He has appeared in two games for the Bills, completing two of seven attempts in blowout wins over the Tennessee Titans and Pittsburgh Steelers.
Bills' Stefon Diggs, Gabriel Davis, Dawson Knox Fantasy Trade Advice Before Deadline
Nov 10, 2022

With the fantasy trade deadline approaching, let's take a look at how you should value some of the skill-position players from the Buffalo Bills.
We'll start with Stefon Diggs, who is a top-five wideout and arguably a top-10 player in all of fantasy. To trade for him, you're going to need to be prepared to offer a massive haul. To depart with him, you better be getting back the kitchen sink.
Here's a piece of advice—don't trade him. Surely if you have a logjam at wideout you could trade one of your less productive players.
Now that we've settled that, we'll move over to Gabe Davis, who the Bills were clearly hoping would take a big leap in year three. He was solid in his first two campaigns, catching 70 passes for 1,148 yards and 13 touchdowns across 32 games.
On Buffalo's high-flying offense last year, however, players like Diggs, Dawson Knox, Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders often took precedent over Davis. With Beasley and Sanders gone, the table was set for Davis to emerge as the true WR2 in this offense.
He's offered mixed results. Davis has struggled to be a worthwhile starter in weeks when he hasn't scored a touchdown, making him an all-or-nothing proposition. In trade talks, he's a player worth valuing as an inconsistent flex option, and nothing more.
That means you might be able to get him for below market value at this point. If you're the seller, don't expect to get back much.
We move to tight end Knox, who had become a favorite of Josh Allen's last season but has struggled to have a similar impact this year. Knox isn't a receptions machine and he hasn't been a huge red-zone threat this year, leaving him with very little value.
At this point, he's nothing more than a TE2 consideration, which means his trade value is extremely low. If you think a bounce-back might be on the horizon, he's a good buy-low candidate.
We'll close with Isaiah McKenzie who, like Davis, has struggled to make a major fantasy splash in weeks when he doesn't find the end zone. He's made even less of an impact than Davis, however, which should tell you all you need to know about his trade value.
NFL Rumors: Bills QB Josh Allen Has Elbow Sprain Injury; Uncertain for Vikings Game
Nov 9, 2022

Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen's status for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings is uncertain because of an injury to his throwing elbow.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Wednesday that Allen has a sprained UCL in his right elbow, and while it is not considered a "major" injury, it is "up in the air" if he will play Sunday:
From @GMFB: #Bills QB Josh Allen is dealing with a sprained right elbow, sources say, a UCL injury that will limit him this week. While it’s no sure thing that Allen plays vs the #Vikings, belief is it’s an injury he can manage moving forward. How he responds this week is key. pic.twitter.com/86HQb0Kdzz
Rapoport added that the belief is that Allen will be able to manage the injury and play through it even if he isn't available against the Vikings.
On Wednesday, Bills head coach Sean McDermott told reporters Allen would not practice but also said the team will "see where it goes" with the quarterback and that the team would use "common sense" regarding his status.
Any injury to Allen is a huge concern for the Bills, especially if lingers. He is putting together a potentially MVP-worthy campaign, throwing for 2,403 yards, 19 touchdowns and eight interceptions while completing 64.1 percent of his passes.
The 26-year-old has also rushed for 392 yards and four scores, helping lead the Bills to a 6-2 record.
Allen's elbow injury occurred last week when he was hit in the throwing arm by New York Jets defensive lineman Bryce Huff during a strip-sack, the decisive play for the Jets in a 20-17 upset.
"There's some slight pain," he told reporters after the contest. "But we'll get through it."
McDermott added at the time:
"We all know Josh and how competitive he is, and he loves to compete, loves to be out there with his teammates. So, you know, I would never count him out. That's the one thing I do know about him is that right now, the medical piece, we're still evaluating it. I'll know more, again for myself even, tomorrow morning a little bit more."
That same injury caused him to miss four games during his rookie season. But he hadn't missed a game since in an impressive run of durability for a player who doesn't shy from contact once he tucks the ball and runs.
If Allen can't play Sunday, Case Keenum will start against one of his former teams.
The 34-year-old journeyman has only made 10 starts in the past four seasons and was last a regular starter for the Denver Broncos in 2018, throwing for 3,890 yards, 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions that year.
In 2017, Keenum went 11-3 as a starter with the Vikings and led them to the NFC Championship Game.
Bills, 49ers Projected as Super Bowl 57 Favorites by NFL Executives in ESPN Poll
Nov 8, 2022
Bills quarterback Josh Allen
NFL executives predicted the Buffalo
Bills against the San Francisco 49ers as the most likely Super Bowl
matchup in a midseason poll.
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported Tuesday
there was also support for the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC and the
Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC, but the Bills and Niners garnered the
most votes from their respective conferences.
"Battle-tested and explosive
playmaking on both sides of the ball," an NFL personnel director
said about San Francisco.
An AFC exec added about Buffalo: "This
feels like their time."
The Bills were on cruise control for
much of the first two months, going 6-1 with several blowout
victories, but their outlook is less certain after Sunday's loss to
the New York Jets that saw quarterback Josh Allen suffer an elbow
injury.
If Allen, one of the MVP front-runners,
misses an extended period of time, Buffalo is likely to lose its
status as the Super Bowl favorite.
ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported Monday
the quarterback is being evaluated for injuries to his ulnar
collateral ligament (UCL) and the related nerves.
"We're just going through it,
still evaluating it, and we'll see where it goes," Bills head
coach Sean McDermott said. "I'll know more in the next 24 hours
and then probably be able to check in with [the media] back on
Wednesday."
At full strength, the Bills have a
strong case as the NFL's most complete team, ranking first in total
offense (416.4 yards per game) and fourth in total defense (299.6
yards allowed per game).
Meanwhile, the 49ers are still seeking
top form after a 4-4 start, but the addition of running back
Christian McCaffrey from the Carolina Panthers ahead of the trade
deadline was the type of splash a team makes when it's seriously
chasing a title.
The combination of McCaffrey and wide
receiver Deebo Samuel is a nightmare for opposing defenses, and the
Niners also feature wideout Brandon Aiyuk and tight end George Kittle
among the targets at the disposal of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
San Francisco doesn't have a ton of
margin for error. It currently sits seventh in the NFC, which is the
final wild-card slot, and it has the 11th-toughest remaining schedule
in the league, according to ESPN's Football Power Index.
In terms of upside, however, there
aren't many teams with more potential heading into the second half of
the regular season than the Niners.
Both Buffalo and San Francisco are next
in action Sunday, when the Bills host the Minnesota Vikings (7-1) and
the 49ers take on the Los Angeles Chargers (5-3).

The NFL has officially crossed the halfway point of the 2022 season with Week 9 in the books, and the postseason is now on the horizon as the second half of the year begins.
Here's a look at the current playoff picture heading into Week 10 as well as some matchups to keep an eye on.
NFC
1. Philadelphia Eagles, 8-0
2. Minnesota Vikings, 7-1
3. Seattle Seahawks, 6-3
4. Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 4-5
5. Dallas Cowboys, 6-2

10. Los Angeles Rams, 3-5
11. New Orleans Saints, 3-6
12. Green Bay Packers, 3-6
13. Arizona Cardinals, 3-6
14. Chicago Bears, 3-6
15. Detroit Lions, 2-6
16. Carolina Panthers, 2-7

Projected NFC Matchups
Bye: Philadelphia Eagles
(2) Minnesota Vikings vs. (7) San Francisco 49ers
(3) Seattle Seahawks vs. (6) New York Giants
(4) Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. (5) Dallas Cowboys
Projected AFC Matchups
Bye: Buffalo Bills
(2) Kansas City Chiefs vs. (7) Los Angeles Chargers
(3) Baltimore Ravens vs. (6) Miami Dolphins
(4) Tennessee Titans vs. (5) New York Jets
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers made the biggest jump this week and likely saved their season with Sunday's last-second comeback victory over the Los Angeles Rams. The win coupled with a loss by the Atlanta Falcons propelled the Bucs from 10th place to fourth, with a prime opportunity in front of them in Week 10.
The Bucs will face the third-place Seattle Seahawks next Sunday morning at Allianz Arena in Munich. The Seahawks have been the biggest surprise of the season so far, so a win over Tampa Bay could further cement Seattle as a title contender in the NFC. Conversely, a Bucs win could be key later in the season for seeding purposes.
The other marquee matchup of Week 10 features a pair of powerhouses as the Buffalo Bills will host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon. The Vikings have also been a revelation this year and are riding a six-game win streak into the contest.
The Bills are coming off an upset loss to the New York Jets, who surprisingly find themselves in the playoff picture as they enter their bye week. A loss to Minnesota would drop Buffalo to a tie with New York, which would make things interesting in the competitive AFC East.
To make matters worse for Buffalo, star quarterback Josh Allen is reportedly being evaluated for an elbow injury, putting his status for the Vikings game in question.
This week's Sunday Night Football matchup features a clash of two teams fighting to hold on to their playoff positions, as the Los Angeles Chargers will visit the San Francisco 49ers. Both teams are in the seventh and final playoff spot in their respective conferences, so a loss in Week 10 could be damaging.
