Dowdle reunites with McCarthy in Pittsburgh after strong RB10 finish in Carolina.

Dowdle fought to the top of the Carolina running back depth chart last season, wrestling the starting job away from Chuba Hubbard. In Weeks 5-18, he averaged 18.6 touches and 87.7 total yards as the RB10 in fantasy points per game. He excelled both on the ground and in the receiving game, ranking 23rd in explosive run rate, 17th in missed tackle rate, tenth in yards after contact per attempt, 17th in yards per route run, and 16th in first downs per route run. After that strong season, Dowdle reunites with Mike McCarthy in Pittsburgh as a backfield complement to Jaylen Warren, positioning him as a potential lead back in McCarthy's system.
