From the episode
the coaching staff does have, in terms of Mike McCarthy, does have that previous connection with Rico Dowdle in Dallas...Rico Dowdle has operated as a three down back under Mike McCarthy...Warren is considerably better on that end, like by far over Rico Dowdle...if this were to split to a committee, my assumption would be that it would be Rico Dowdle early down in goal line with Jalen Warren as receiving work change of pace and blocking.
STACKED’s take
NeutralRole
Dowdle's McCarthy connection and early-down upside offset Warren's receiving edge; narrow gap.
Dowdle is ranked RB31 in ADP, just four spots behind Jalen Warren (RB27). Mike McCarthy has a previous connection with Dowdle from Dallas and has historically used him in committee situations. Dowdle has operated as a three-down back under McCarthy but is considerably worse at pass protection than Warren. If the backfield operates as a committee, the source expects Dowdle to handle early-down and goal-line work while Warren handles receiving and blocking. Vegas odds project Dowdle to have more rushing yards than Warren, but the source believes neither has a clear breakout opportunity.
