From the episode

But it's actually Dowdle who's been more involved in the passing game, which is really interesting. And I think Dowdle has some flex appeal rest of season if you're in a pinch.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

More involved in passing game than Warren despite narrative; flex appeal ROS.

Despite Jalen Warren being the narrative favorite for receiving work in the Pittsburgh backfield, Rico Dowdle has actually been more involved in the passing game; the source notes this is 'really interesting' and suggests Dowdle has flex appeal rest of season if needed, indicating a role shift that contradicts market expectations.
