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.

MarShawn Lloyd Faces Uncertain Role Against Vikings in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 11:52 AM

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd is expected to return Sunday against Minnesota after missing Week 9 with a knee injury. Josh Jacobs (finger) will miss the game, opening up additional carries in Green Bay's backfield. Kaleb Johnson rushed 14 times for 68 yards and a touchdown after Jacobs exited last week's win over New England, while Pierre Strong Jr. added eight carries. Chris Brooks (ankle) could also return from injured reserve, giving the Packers several options. Lloyd managed 37 yards on 13 carries against Minnesota in Week 1, and the Vikings remain a difficult matchup for opposing running backs. With no clear indication of how the carries will be divided, Lloyd is a risky fantasy play. RotoBaller ranks him RB47 for Week 10, making him a bench option in most leagues.
