Rico Dowdle Has a Pretty Good Chance to Play Next Week

Thursday, October 1, 5:30 AM

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle (toe) has already been ruled out of his team's Week 4 matchup on Thursday night against the Browns, but his return may not be far away. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Thursday morning that Dowdle is more "day-to-day than anything else," and that he "has a pretty good chance" to return in Week 5, when the Steelers host the Colts at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh. Dowdle shared work in the first two weeks of the season with Jaylen Warren, and he'll be back in that timeshare when he returns from his toe injury. Until then, Warren will carry a big workload, giving him a boost in fantasy value.

Kenny Gainwell is Risky Flex Option

Friday, October 2, 11:36 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Kenny Gainwell hasn't experienced much success in his new offense. Through three games, Gainwell has carried the ball 10 times for 21 yards, while hauling in six receptions for 22 yards through the air. Bucs' offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has stated that they want to get Gainwell more involved. It remains to be seen how Gainwell will perform with backup quarterback Jalon Daniels under center. Gainwell could factor more into the gameplan with Daniels under center and the team likely doing more short routes and screens. The 27-year-old should be viewed as a low-end flex option for the upcoming Week 4 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.
