STACKED’s take

Negative signalValue

Dowdle's RB3 ADP offers value given Rodgers' checkdown tendency to backs.

Rico Dowdle is priced in RB3 territory at ADP, which represents acceptable value for a talented player looking at significant volume. The source notes that older QBs like Aaron Rodgers consistently force-feed their team's backs in the passing game; data shows 15 of 20 offenses with QBs age 38+ starting 10+ games ranked top-eight in RB targets over the last 10 years. Even if Rodgers' play declines, Dowdle benefits from this checkdown tendency, and the Steelers' weapons have this risk baked into their respective ADPs.
