Dowdle's snap and red zone lead despite low Week 1 touches supports flex value.

Rico Dowdle was the starter for Pittsburgh in Week 1 despite only 10 touches and 21 total yards, leading the backfield with a 57.8% snap rate, 48.8% route share, and the only red zone carry. While his per-touch efficiency was modest (1.75 yards after contact per attempt, 13% missed tackle rate), a larger two-season sample shows he is a capable back. The source notes he has solid flex value this week in a good matchup against New England, which allowed the 12th-highest explosive run rate, 11th-most yards after contact per attempt, and sixth-lowest stuff rate in Week 1.
