Both running backs were targeted four times, while Dowdle had seven rushing attempts to 14 for Warren. Until we see evidence that Warren is back in charge of the backfield, he goes back to being a shaky top-24 running back with upside.

Warren's hot streak fades as Dowdle reclaims backfield role; shaky top-24 option.

Warren had an amazing hot streak while Rico Dowdle was out with a toe injury, earning praise from quarterback Aaron Rodgers and coach Mike McCarthy for his toughness and effectiveness. However, in Pittsburgh's game against Tampa Bay—a game the Steelers trailed for most of regulation—both running backs were targeted four times while Dowdle had seven rushing attempts to 14 for Warren. The source believes McCarthy may be reverting to Dowdle based on his strong second-half performance in Dallas a couple years ago. Until evidence emerges that Warren is back in charge of the backfield, he reverts to being a shaky top-24 running back with upside.
