Rico Dowdle News
Friday, November 13, 3:05 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle scored his first touchdown of the season in Week 8 and will return from a bye to face the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday Night Football in Week 10. Although teammate Jaylen Warren has overshadowed him, Dowdle is averaging nearly 14 opportunities per game since returning from a toe injury that sidelined him from Weeks 3-5. He has also shown an ability to contribute in the passing game and in the red zone, boosting his fantasy value. This is a favorable matchup to target, as the Bengals allow the eighth-most rushing yards per game and the eighth-most yards per carry to opposing running backs. It wouldn't be surprising to see Dowdle get even more touches coming out of the bye, putting him on the fantasy radar as a quality flex option this week.

Braelon Allen News
Saturday, November 14, 6:38 AM
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen carried eight times for 33 yards at Kansas City after averaging 19.8 carries from Week 5 through Week 8 with Breece Hall out. He still played 37 of the Jets' 63 offensive snaps. Allen's 19-yard catch on the opening drive was New York's longest completion, and he got another carry on the possession after his second-quarter fumble. That involvement gives Allen a case as a low-end flex in leagues with multiple flex slots. Buffalo held the ball for more than 42 minutes against Minnesota last week, leaving the Vikings with just 12 rushing attempts. Hall handled 15 of the Jets' 23 carries by running backs in Week 9, a split that could leave Allen with another single-digit carry total if Buffalo controls possession again. RotoBaller ranks Allen RB27 for Week 10. He has caught 19 passes for 102 yards this season, with six of those catches coming in one game against Miami. Allen has caught two passes or fewer in seven of nine games, including against Kansas City.
