NBC Sports Rotoworld on Rico Dowdle

Dowdle projects as RB3 in 1B role; reunites with McCarthy but shares touches with Warren.

Dowdle reunites with Mike McCarthy, coming off back-to-back seasons of over 230 carries and 1,000 yards with the Cowboys and Panthers. Both Dowdle and Warren are used to being part of running back duos and neither are likely to dominate backfield touches. Dowdle profiles better as the downhill runner while Warren looks to be more of the receiver out of the backfield. Dowdle's familiarity in McCarthy's system ensures he will be the 1B to Warren's 1A, projecting in the RB3 range.
