BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 13% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Rico Dowdle is not currently a back that should be considered as a starting option. However, he has elevated among this week’s most viable roster additions due to his role as the Cowboys' RB2.
Dowdle continues to operate as the direct backup to Tony Pollard, which positions him to launch into an extensive workload if Pollard is forced to the sideline for any reason.
RICO DOWDLE FOR 6!

Dowdle’s involvement in the Dallas offense has expanded since Week 10 as he has accumulated 64 snaps while generating 128 rushing yards on 28 attempts during his last four matchups. He has also averaged 4.6 yards per attempt during that sequence while collecting all three of his targets and assembling 19 yards as a receiving weapon.
That includes Dowdle’s numbers when Dallas hosted Seattle in Week 13 (16 snaps/five carries/15 rushing yards). Dowdle remains available in nearly 90% of all leagues even though he would become the primary back in a potent Dallas offense if Pollard becomes unavailable for any reason. That makes Dowdle an enticing handcuff who should be secured this week.
