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.

Drake London Leads Team in Receiving Yards Amid Modest Performance

Sunday, November 8, 2:40 PM

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London caught all five of his targets for 68 receiving yards during Sunday's Week 9 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals. On a positive note, London had a 100% catch rate and led the team in receiving yards. However, fantasy managers would have liked to see him finish with more catches, more yards, and perhaps a touchdown, given that he is widely viewed as a WR1 in fantasy football. Somehow, London has just one touchdown this year, which is a remarkably low total for a physical, alpha receiver. Perhaps he'll be able to break his scoring drought in Week 10 against the Kansas City Chiefs, as the Falcons are presented with a possible negative game script environment. Unfortunately for London, the odds aren't in his favor; Kansas City has allowed an NFL-fewest two touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2026. London ranks as a high-end WR2, but we acknowledge that many managers will end up deploying him as a WR1 in their lineups.
