Cam Cook News, Rumors, Updates - West Virginia Mountaineers

Scores despite reduced workload Cook compiled 10 carries for 52 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 52-7 victory against Tennessee-Martin.

Impact Cook took a backseat statistically in the Mountaineers' rout of UT Martin. With Michael Hawkins accounting for four touchdowns and West Virginia generating explosive plays throughout the afternoon, Cook simply wasn't needed as heavily as he was in Week 1. The bigger picture remains encouraging for fantasy managers. Cook has now scored in both games and continues to operate as West Virginia's lead running back, giving him a strong weekly floor in an offense that appears much more explosive under Rich Rodriguez.

Powers West Virginia's ground game Cook posted 30 carries for 142 yards and two touchdowns and caught all two targets for 11 yards during Saturday's 31-24 victory against Coastal Carolina.

Impact Cook delivered one of the most impressive rushing performances of opening weekend. Cook set the tone immediately with a 72-yard run on the Mountaineers' first play from scrimmage and consistently punished the Chanticleers' defense throughout the afternoon. His productive partnership with dual-threat QB Michael Hawkins gives West Virginia a dangerous rushing attack that should be the foundation of the offense moving forward. After a statement performance in Week 1, Cook looks locked in as a high-end fantasy starter heading into next week's matchup.
