Is there a better running back to get behind on Thanksgiving week than James Cook? You can never have too many running backs of Cook's caliber, that's for sure.

The Buffalo Bills workhorse is tied for third at the position this season with 10 rushing touchdowns, including two in his last game against Kansas City.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 13 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Bills running back James Cook has rushed for seven touchdowns in his last six games.
