Dowdle looked sluggish in Week 1, gaining just 15 yards on eight carries and six yards on two catches, while Jaylen Warren accumulated 73 combined yards on 10 carries and five catches. The source identifies Warren as the clear lead back heading into Week 2 and warns that Dowdle needs to look better next week to avoid being relegated to a role where he strictly spells Warren a few times each game.
