Dowdle really cut into Warren's touches... Dowdle's return isn't great because it will leech touches and limit Warren's ceiling. But he's still a solid RB2 option.

Dowdle's return cuts into Warren's touches; ceiling now limited despite RB2 floor.

Warren's role as lead back was threatened by Rico Dowdle's return in Week 6 after Dowdle missed three games. Despite coach Mike McCarthy calling Warren a "featured player" before Dowdle's return, Dowdle significantly cut into Warren's touches (14 carries, 2 receptions, 78 yards, 0 TDs, 8.8 fantasy points). Warren was ineffective against Tampa Bay's tough front, and without overtime would have been a complete bust. The source views Dowdle's return as limiting Warren's ceiling, though Warren remains a solid RB2 option.
