RotoWire NFL Articles on Rico Dowdle

Dowdle has 1,373 yards, 7 TDs in 2025; three-down upside in Steelers.

Dowdle would rank as the fifth-best backup RB if the starter took a season-long vacation. He went for 1,328 total yards and five touchdowns with the Cowboys in 2024 and 1,373 yards with seven touchdowns for the Panthers in 2025, exhibiting three-down ability. Both Dowdle and Jaylen Warren offer sky-high upside in a Steelers offense where elderly QBs have historically been fantasy cheat codes for their RBs due to their willingness to check the ball down repeatedly.
