Rico Dowdle

RB, PIT

Wednesday, September 30

Sat out Monday's practice ahead of Thursday's Browns game, and both shows agree his short-week status is shaky, with Jaylen Warren the clear beneficiary if he sits; treat Dowdle as a game-time decision and Warren as the priority pickup.

▶ Yahoo Fantasy Forecast with Matt Harmon: Did not practice Monday and may miss again on a short week, which would further boost Jaylen Warren's workload. listen ↗

Tuesday, September 29

▶ FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast: Injury status uncertain/ambiguous, and his eventual return is the key risk factor cited for selling high on Jalen Warren now. listen ↗

Sunday, September 27

▼ Fantasy Football Today: Ruled out for the game. listen ↗

Saturday, September 26

▼ Fantasy Football Today: Officially ruled out for this week's game. listen ↗

Friday, September 25

Both shows are down on Dowdle—he's banged up with a lingering toe issue clouding his Week 3 outlook, and he's already trailing Jalen Warren in efficiency metrics. Treat him as a risky flex at best until the injury clears and the Warren split resolves.
