Rico Dowdle Trending Up as Flex Option Against Bengals

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.

Brock Bowers Remains a Must-Start in Tough Week 10 Matchup

Friday, November 13, 1:07 PM

Tight end Brock Bowers is the Las Vegas Raiders' best fantasy asset as they prepare to host a stingy Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 10. The 23-year-old has been a consistent bright spot for the Raiders even when they lose, hauling in 48 receptions for 658 yards and six touchdowns through seven games played in 2026. He lost a fumble in Week 9, but still finished the day catching seven of eight targets for 11 yards and hauling in a touchdown. Bowers faces his greatest test yet in the visiting Seahawks, who have allowed just 12.2 yards per game to tight ends. Seattle leads the league with 155.9 passing yards per game overall, making for an intriguing matchup against rookie quarterback Fernando Mendoza in his first career start. Still, Bowers is expected to remain the top receiving target. He continues to be a must-start fantasy option as the Raiders kick off the Mendoza era against a tough opponent.
