Production wasn't great for either, but Dowdle wasn't able to get much daylight anywhere. Dowdle also had a prime opportunity after Warren fumbled in the first half, but Mike McCarthy mostly stuck with Warren.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Dowdle struggled to gain traction; benched after fumble opportunity, remains secondary option.

Dowdle recorded 8 carries, 2 receptions, 10 total yards, and 3.1 fantasy points in Week 1, failing to gain traction in the Steelers backfield. Despite a prime opportunity after Warren's fumble, Mike McCarthy continued to favor Warren. The source notes Dowdle wasn't able to get much daylight anywhere and should be considered a volatile, TD-dependent flex play at best.
