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.

Tyler Allgeier News
Friday, November 13, 4:41 PM
Arizona Cardinals running back Tyler Allgeier had the backfield to himself last Sunday with Jeremiyah Love (ankle) on injured reserve and Bam Knight (concussion) sitting out with a concussion. Against a stacked Seahawks defense, Allgeier managed just 47 rushing yards on 17 carries. Allgeier won't have it any easier in Week 10, when the Cardinals play the Los Angeles Rams. When the teams last played each other in Week 6, Allgeier had a similarly dreadful 38 rushing yards on 18 carries and was outgained by Knight, who picked up 80 yards on 15 carries. Arizona could go run-heavy in the rematch also, given the injuries to Gardner Minshew (elbow) and Michael Wilson (neck), among others. Allgeier may wind up in another timeshare, though, as Knight has been cleared from concussion protocol and will play on Sunday. Allgeier is projected as an RB3 for Week 10, but a risky play for fantasy managers to bank on considering the circumstances.
