STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Dowdle ranked in flex RB3 range; source prefers Wilson over him.

Ranked in the flex RB3 range (27 in ECR). The source notes he is one spot ahead of Emmanuel Wilson but prefers to wait on Wilson for the Monday night game against the Bears rather than start Dowdle.
