RotoWire on Rico Dowdle

VideoHayden Winks’ 6 Must-Draft RB Targets (Fantasy Football 2026)Captured August 1, 2026

From the video

Rico Dowdle and Jaylen Warren are essentially going side by side in drafts. Um Jaylen Warren is currently going off the board as the running back 28. Dowdle, the running back 32... I think there's a chance Jaylen Warren is way better than Rico Dowdle as a rusher... Jaylen uh Warren is I think a little bit more explosive.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

RB32 inferior to Warren; lacks explosiveness and bell-cow upside.

Hayden Winks views Rico Dowdle as inferior to Jaylen Warren despite going side-by-side in drafts at RB32 ADP versus Warren's RB28. Despite the Mike McCarthy reunion narrative, Winks notes Warren is way better as a rusher and more explosive, with Warren better aligned to Rodgers/McCarthy's historical passing patterns (lean toward pass-catching RB profile). Dowdle has some moments but lacks Warren's explosiveness and bell-cow upside.
