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.

Christian Watson Carries Hot Streak Into Vikings Rematch

Friday, November 13, 11:15 AM

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has posted consecutive 100-yard games despite suffering a broken rib against Carolina in Week 8. Watson returned to finish that contest with eight catches for 113 yards, then caught seven of eight targets for a career-high 171 yards and a touchdown against New England. He also torched Minnesota in Week 1, recording six receptions for 147 yards and two touchdowns. The Vikings have been much tougher on opposing receivers since that meeting and have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to the position this season. Watson isn't listed on Green Bay's Week 10 injury report, easing concerns about his rib injury. His recent production and connection with Jordan Love make him a strong fantasy start despite the difficult divisional matchup.
