Rico Dowdle did none of the above really. The duo did split the work, with Warren starting each half while rotating other drives. His usage was better, too — 13.5 expected half PPR points to 10.0.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Dowdle's inferior tape and usage (10.0 expected PPR) make him secondary to Warren.

Dowdle did not demonstrate the lateral ability, burst, pass-catching, or pass-protection skills that Warren showed on tape. In the committee split with Warren, Dowdle received inferior usage; his expected half-PPR points (10.0) trailed Warren's (13.5), and the Steelers' fourth-ranked neutral pass rate limits his involvement in the passing game.
