From the article

Dowdle's 15-touch, 86-yard performance against the Saints needs to be graded on a curve since New Orleans plays a fast-paced style and allows the most fantasy points to RBs.

Negative signalProjection

Dowdle's 15 touches inflated by Saints' pace; too volatile with Warren as lead.

Dowdle's 15-touch, 86-yard performance against the Saints must be graded on a curve because New Orleans plays a fast-paced style and allows the most fantasy points to RBs, inflating his usual 10-touch average. Jaylen Warren remains the clear lead back, making Dowdle too volatile to start in most weeks.
