Who Should I Start? Rico Dowdle or Brian Robinson Jr.

Friday, November 29, 9:27 AM

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle posted his first-ever 100-yard rushing game in the 27-20 division win on Thanksgiving. The 26-year-old finished with 112 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries with three receptions for 11 yards on three targets. Dowdle's top six rushing outputs have all come this season now that he's seeing a higher snap share. In fact, this game against the Giants was his second-highest snap share of the year with 70%. Dowdle should continue to be one of the fantasy bright spots in this offense for the rest of the year and will look to keep the momentum rolling against the Bengals in Week 14.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. tallied 103 yards and a score off 16 carries during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He was not targeted in the passing game. Robinson wasted little time as he posted an impressive 40-yard TD run on their opening possession. The Commanders would have a sizeable lead throughout, which allowed Robinson to see a slight decrease in workload by the second half. However, with Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, the Alabama product would dominate touches while the game was close. Fantasy managers should feel confident viewing Robinson as a solid RB2 with scoring upside heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Saints, as the Commanders are off next weekend.
