Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz on Rico Dowdle

VideoThe Steelers RB Duo With Sky-High Handcuff UpsideAugust 23, 2026

From the video

Rico Dowdle or Jaylen Warren, they are the same person... I just think it's going to be pretty close to 50-50. And guess what? If it's not, if one guy goes down, the other one should be a complete workhorse

High handcuff upside in a projected 50-50 backfield split

Ian Hartitz views Rico Dowdle as having high handcuff upside and potential to serve as a primary starter in a near 50-50 backfield split. Dowdle is considered capable of three-down work and may compete for pass-down targets, with the team's quarterback situation historically favoring high target volume for running backs.
