Dowdle was the starter at RB for the Steelers in this contest, which often doesn't mean a ton, but left in the first half due to a toe injury. He was able to return briefly for the second half but was held back and was eventually ruled out.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Dowdle's toe injury and Pittsburgh's offense make him a drop candidate.

Dowdle was the starter for Pittsburgh in Week 2 but left in the first half due to a toe injury, returned briefly in the second half but was held back and eventually ruled out. Even before the injury, there was concern about the sustainability of the Warren-Dowdle duo given Pittsburgh's non-existent passing game and poor offensive performance. Dowdle is losing value fast and could become a drop candidate in shallow formats; in deeper formats he's a forced hold but barely in flex consideration.
