As the fantasy playoffs approach, managers of James Cook face tough decisions regarding his start against the Detroit Lions, known for their strong run defense. Despite Cook's earlier contributions, his recent performance raises concerns, particularly after a disappointing outing in Week 14.

The Lions have limited running backs' fantasy points significantly, making Cook a risky play. Alternatives like Kendre Miller and Sincere McCormick may offer better options for those looking to bolster their lineups.
