Dowdle's strong efficiency and volume face Cleveland's second-worst run defense.

Last week Dowdle was RB22 with 15 touches and 86 total yards, playing 44.4% of snaps with 30% of rushing attempts and 55.9% route share (20% target share). He has 2.06 yards after contact per attempt and 10% missed tackle rate.
