Yahoo Sports NFL on Rico Dowdle

Bengals' pass-funnel scheme and negative game script limit Dowdle's carries.

Bengals are a pass-funnel defense and Steelers are projected to lose by 3.5 points. It'd be surprising if Dowdle sees as many second-half carries in this one, and the scheme might lean towards Warren's receiving ability to get him matched up with concerning LBs. That said, Dowdle can also break tackles against this group and Steelers still have a 23-point team total, making it a fine enough spot for FLEX value in half PPR leagues.
