From the episode

Jalen Warren. I just think he's a better player than Rico Dowdle period... Warren's crushing him in adjusted yards after contact per rush so far this year. He's got the pass catching edge... Warren has a higher route share and he's already been more effective per route run.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Warren crushes Dowdle in adjusted yards after contact and route efficiency; the better back.

Warren is outperforming Rico Dowdle in adjusted yards after contact per rush, has a pass-catching edge, higher route share, and better efficiency per route run; Zachariason views him as a better player than Dowdle and a continuation of pre-season expectations as an effective running back.
