Rico Dowdle Fantasy Week 2 Start or Sit: A Warren Injury Away
Dowdle managed 21 yards on 10 touches against Atlanta, and he checks in 38th among running backs in PFN’s Week 2 rankings with the reigning AFC champions on tap. A 62.
Week 2 arrives for fantasy football players, and one running back that may leave managers pondering whether to start or sit is Rico Dowdle. After managing just 21 yards on 10 touches against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 1, Dowdle's prospects look dimmer this week, as the reigning AFC champions, the Baltimore Ravens, take on the division rival.
Ranked 38th among running backs in PFN’s Week 2 rankings, Dowdle displays a gain rate of 62.5% and has only two 30-plus-yard carries in 582 career attempts. These statistics raise concerns about his ability to generate significant yardage this week. However, despite these limitations, he remains a valuable asset on rosters.
Dowdle has the potential to shine this week if a Jaylen Warren injury occurs, as he would see a substantial increase in his workload. Until such an injury takes place, managers should keep Dowdle on their rosters, but he should not be a candidate for sit/start debates in Sunday's lineup discussions.
