RotoWire NFL Articles on Rico Dowdle

Dowdle's 3.2 YPC in final nine games; splits work with Warren in Pittsburgh.

Dowdle collapsed over the second half of 2025, averaging 3.2 yards per carry and 39 rushing yards per game across his final nine games; he sits in the bottom 12 percent in avoided tackle rate, so he is not creating after contact. He also projects to split rushing work with Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh, and the receiving work is not his either. Fade Dowdle because the efficiency crashed and the role is not the fantasy-friendly role in this backfield.
