From the episode

I say that Jalen Warren makes more sense. Incumbent starter. I think a better fit for McCarthy, certainly a better fit for Aaron Rogers at this point.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Warren is a strong start and a better fit for the scheme than Dowdle.

Warren is viewed as a strong fantasy option against the Falcons, with the source noting he is the incumbent starter and a better fit for the current scheme. The source expects him to be involved in valuable passing situations and potentially outperform Rico Dowdle in total usage.
