2025 · Commissioner's Premier Cup VII
James Cook could not carry the whole RB result
After opening with two receivers, fjc3 took James Cook and Alvin Kamara in consecutive rounds, but Cook supplied 217 lineup points to Kamara's 84.2. Cook's 13 starts were productive without making the entire RB group a strength. Across weeks 1-14, including pickups, RB averaged 11.9 points per start against the peer median of 14.3; WR, helped by Puka Nacua's 212.4 lineup points, finished above its benchmark at 11.6 versus 10.8.

The draft allocation and the realized position output are separate observations. Injury and availability effects are not separated; low realized scoring is not a decision-quality grade.
Supporting facts
- Whole draft: 6 WR, 4 RB, 1 QB, 2 TE, 1 K, 1 DEF.
- Round 3, pick 29: James Cook; 13 original-spell starts / 217 points; all own starts 13 / 217 including later reacquisitions.
- Round 4, pick 44: Alvin Kamara; 11 original-spell starts / 84.2 points; all own starts 11 / 84.2 including later reacquisitions.
- Round 9, pick 101: Najee Harris; 0 original-spell starts / 0 points; all own starts 0 / 0 including later reacquisitions.
- Round 12, pick 140: Dylan Sampson; 0 original-spell starts / 0 points; all own starts 0 / 0 including later reacquisitions.
- Fixed RB slots: 333 points, 28 occupied starts and 28 opportunities. Drafted-player totals may include FLEX; the slot comparison does not.
- Other managers' median points per occupied RB start: 14.3; this manager: 11.89. The season slot result includes later acquisitions, not only the named draft picks.
- James Cook: round 3, pick 29; 13 original-draft-spell starts / 217 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 13 / 217 points.
- Alvin Kamara: round 4, pick 44; 11 original-draft-spell starts / 84.2 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 11 / 84.2 points.
- Puka Nacua: round 2, pick 17; 12 original-draft-spell starts / 212.4 points. All-own starts, including later reacquisitions: 12 / 212.4 points.
- RB fixed slots, 2025 weeks 1-14: 333 points / 28 occupied starts in 28 opportunities; stored rate 11.89, other-11 manager median 14.3. Rates in the body round the underlying points/start ratio. Full-season slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX.
- WR fixed slots, 2025 weeks 1-14: 487.32 points / 42 occupied starts in 42 opportunities; stored rate 11.6, other-11 manager median 10.81. Rates in the body round the underlying points/start ratio. Full-season slots include acquisitions and exclude FLEX.
- Drafted-player contributions can include FLEX and stop at first departure unless explicitly described as all-own; they are not the numerator for fixed-position output. Allocation and realized scoring do not establish causes or decision quality.
- Rationale: The opening allocation was WR in rounds 1-2, RB in rounds 3-4. Named draft contributions can include FLEX and are not the fixed-position numerators.
- 3 starts (20.8 known points) have uncertain acquisition origin.
- 2 weekly roster arrays have no exact within-window replay state; snapshot timing is unresolved.
Comparison and window
