BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: RB28
ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle missed the Week 8 loss to the San Francisco 49ers with an illness. However, the veteran running back has been a solid flex option for fantasy players, averaging 9.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game this year. Furthermore, he was playing well before the team’s Week 7 bye.
Dowdle has averaged 12 rushing attempts for 52.7 yards and 13 fantasy points per game over his past three contests, totaling 12.6 or more fantasy points twice. More importantly, he has earned a role in the passing game, totaling eight receptions for 72 receiving yards and two touchdowns in those three contests.

Fantasy players can start Dowdle as a low-end RB2 or a high-end flex option in Week 9. He faces an Atlanta Falcons defense that has surrendered at least 24.2 fantasy points to running backs in back-to-back games.
