Rico Dowdle News
Wednesday, November 11, 5:18 AM
Pittsburgh running back Rico Dowdle is on the rise as a fantasy asset after what he's done over the past two games. In Week 7 against New Orleans, Dowdle went for 41 rushing yards on nine attempts, plus caught all six of his targets for 45 more yards. In Week 8 against Cleveland, Dowdle finished with 56 rushing yards and a score over 15 carries, while not being targeted in the passing game. He logged 28 offensive snaps in both games, which was over 40% of the team's total in each contest. Dowdle is trending up heading into Week 10, which offers him a pretty average fantasy matchup against Cincinnati. He didn't face the Bengals earlier this season, but has a pretty solid outlook based on what we've seen from him of late, so he can be started in deeper leagues and considered as a flex-level option in standard leagues.

Jonathon Brooks News
Thursday, November 12, 10:59 AM
Carolina Panthers running back Jonathon Brooks (groin) completed a full practice Thursday, according to Sheena Quick. The Panthers opened his return window Wednesday and listed him as a full participant on their estimated report after a walkthrough. Brooks remains on injured reserve ahead of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He has missed six games since aggravating the injury at Atlanta in Week 2 and undergoing core muscle surgery. Brooks can stay on fantasy benches if Carolina activates him for Week 10. Chuba Hubbard returned to full practice Thursday after resting Wednesday. He played 89% of the offensive snaps against Denver and has handled 49 touches over the past two games, including 11 catches. Trevor Etienne had two carries on seven offensive snaps against the Broncos and is listed as Carolina's lead punt returner this week. Brooks ran nine times for 30 yards in two games before going on injured reserve. His 48-yard catch on a deep pass from Bryce Young in the opener against Chicago accounted for most of his 73 yards from scrimmage.
