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.

Rachaad White News
Wednesday, November 11, 1:26 PM
Washington Commanders running back Rachaad White had a quiet outing in Week 9's loss to the Rams, handling seven carries for 28 yards and adding two catches (three targets) for 41 yards. White was surprisingly outtouched by Austin Ekeler 10 to nine in this game, though Ekeler was much less productive with only 34 yards to White's 69. Washington's rushing attack is rated near the bottom of the league by most numbers this season, with a struggling offensive line that ranks 32nd in ESPN's run block win rate metric. White hasn't exceeded 11 carries in a game this season and should handle 10-12 touches overall on Thursday against the division-leading Giants. It could be another down game for White as the Giants defense has been stingy of late, ranking fourth in rushing success rate (38.2%) and allowing the sixth-fewest PPR points per game to running backs over the last four weeks. White ranks as RotoBaller's RB21 in PPR leagues for Week 10.
