Rico Dowdle News
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.

Jordan Mason News
Friday, November 13, 11:58 AM
Lost in the Minnesota Vikings' offensive ineptitude this season is that running back Jordan Mason has still been efficient, giving renewed hope to fantasy managers in Week 10 at Green Bay. The Vikings' trade for quarterback Kirk Cousins should, at minimum, give the team some semblance of a passing game, which should mean more chances to stay on the field for the Vikings' running backs. Even as opponents have locked in on the running game with the team unable to complete passes, Mason has still averaged 4.2 yards per carry since his return from a thumb injury. The presence of Cousins -- a play-action merchant during his time in the NFL -- could have the added effect of unlocking the run game, good news for Mason against a Green Bay defense that ranks 25th against half-PPR running backs. As RotoBaller's No. 31 running back this week, Mason should be considered an RB3/Flex option at Green Bay.
