News: 2 days agoDowdle carried the ball nine times for 41 yards and caught all six of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over New Orleans.
Spin: The 15 touches were a season high for Dowdle, but he still took a back seat to Jaylen Warren's 21 touches and 137 scrimmage yards in the Steelers' backfield. Dowdle also led the team in receptions on the day, and his own 86 combined yards were a season high. Pittsburgh could stay with its ground-heavy game plan in Week 8 against Cleveland, giving Dowdle some fantasy appeal even in his backup role.
ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dowdle signed with the Steelers after nearly identical campaigns with the Cowboys in 2024 (1,328 yards and five TDs on 274 touches) and Panthers in 2025 (1,373 yards and seven TDs on 275 touches). He was effective as a rusher (4.57 yards per carry) and fairly busy as a receiver (50 targets both years) en route to finishing just inside the top 25 in fantasy points per game both seasons. Now in Pittsburgh, the 28-year-old is expected to share work with Jaylen Warren. Earning lead-rusher duties could get Dowdle into the weekly flex discussion, but the ceiling will be low and he'll likely need an injury in order to find his way to consistent fantasy output. Consider him for your bench.
