Behind the Steel Curtain on Rico Dowdle

Dowdle's 1.5 YPC efficiency lags Warren's 4.6 YPC, risks losing backfield touches.

Dowdle struggled with efficiency in Week 1, averaging just 1.5 yards per carry compared to Jaylen Warren's 4.6 yards per carry. While there was not a huge difference in terms of touches between the two backs, Warren did get five more touches than Dowdle in Week 1, likely because of Dowdle's efficiency issues. Warren was the more explosive and efficient back. If Dowdle's struggles continue, we could see more Warren going forward.
