Rico Dowdle News
Friday, October 30, 6:14 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle has been getting more involved since returning from a toe injury and should again play an important role against the Cleveland Browns in Week 8. While Dowdle only finished with nine carries last week, he led the Steelers in receptions, securing all six of his targets for 45 yards. Cleveland is giving up the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, but it is surrendering the fourth-most yards per carry and allowed the Tennessee Titans to rush for 141 yards and three touchdowns in Week 7. Given how thin Pittsburgh is at wide receiver right now, Dowdle's role as a pass-catcher should continue alongside his work as a change-of-pace option behind teammate Jaylen Warren. The backfield split keeps Dowdle from being a must-start fantasy option, but the 28-year-old has flex appeal and could surprise in this matchup.

Rhamondre Stevenson News
Monday, November 9, 4:45 PM
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was forced to make an early exit from Sunday's Week 9 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He underwent imaging on Monday, which revealed that Stevenson won't require surgery to fix his knee tendon issue, per Adam Schefter. The Patriots do expect Stevenson to miss a period of time while he recovers from this injury. The Patriots are now down their two top backs heading into next week's matchup against the Detroit Lions. TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is dealing with a neurological issue and has missed the last two games. Corey Kiner could end up being the top back for that one, so he's a name to watch on the waiver wire right now. Fantasy managers should check back for a better timetable on Stevenson.
