Running Back · Pittsburgh Steelers · Age 28 · South Carolina · RB35 PPR (Week 2 2026)
Rico Dowdle is ranked RB35 (overall #35) for the Week 2 of the 2026 NFL season in PPR fantasy football by Hayden of The Underdog Football Show.
Dowdle had a rough first outing. He was the clear 1b in usage, though 10.0 expected half PPR points are enough to keep the FLEX lights on, and his tape was very mediocre. Dowdle looked a step slower, and his 8% success rate and -60% rush yards over expected on his carries back that up. He also ran the incorrect way on a play-action pass protection rep before getting flatbacked on an Aaron Rodgers sack. That won't help him earn more work in Week 2. I'd anticipate Warren's starting role is fairly secure, while both are available for a goal-line TD depending on if the Steelers marched on that drive. https://x.com/HaydenWinks/status/2099724244641059271
