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.

Parker Washington's Red-Zone Work Lifts His Week 10 Outlook

Thursday, November 12, 10:39 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington leads the team with 55 targets, 493 receiving yards and five touchdown catches. He is a WR2 in 12-team PPR leagues for Sunday's trip to the Tennessee Titans, who have allowed a league-high 40.7 PPR points per game to wide receivers through Week 9. Washington has drawn at least seven targets in three of his last four games after reaching that mark once in his first four. The exception was the 42-7 win over the Indianapolis Colts, when Trevor Lawrence threw 14 passes and Washington drew two targets. He led Jacksonville with seven targets four days later against the Baltimore Ravens, catching two passes for 61 yards and a touchdown. Jakobi Meyers (ankle) drew six targets against Baltimore and missed Wednesday's practice. On the 50-yard score, Washington lined up in the slot and cut across the safety as Baltimore sent an all-out blitz. Six of Washington's 10 red-zone targets have come in his last four games, and he's scored three touchdowns over that same stretch.
