Outlook Rico Dowdle
Reunion With Mike McCarthy Unlocks Standalone Flex Appeal and Value
Rico Dowdle arrives in Pittsburgh reunited with head coach Mike McCarthy, stepping into a balanced backfield rotation alongside Jaylen Warren. Following back-to-back productive campaigns with over 230 carries across Dallas and Carolina, Dowdle provides established early-down stability and red-zone dependability.
Our projections forecast Dowdle to handle 200 rushes for 865 yards and six touchdowns, while contributing 23 receptions for 175 yards and one score (188.0 total fantasy points). Although his 44% start rate reflects a shared backfield, his expected volume offers regular flex utility.
Draft sentiment has steadily shifted over the summer, with Dowdle's ADP tumbling from the mid-80s in late July down to pick 122. As fantasy managers shy away over committee concerns, our projections indicate his declining draft cost makes him an enticing value steal in 1.0 PPR leagues.

Outlook TreVeyon Henderson
Dynamic Second-Year Back Offers Substantial Draft Value
Henderson enters his second NFL campaign sharing touches with Rhamondre Stevenson in New England. Coming off an efficient rookie season where he averaged 4.9 yards per carry across 198 attempts, the young running back continues to showcase explosive playmaking ability in both phases of the offense.
Our season projections anticipate another strong year with 865 rushing yards, seven touchdowns, and 35 catches on 46 targets for 203.0 fantasy points. While working in a committee caps true bell-cow volume, his regular passing-down usage provides a stable PPR floor.
After holding steady in the fourth round throughout July, his ADP recently plummeted from 47 into the late 80s following an ankle scare in practice. However, with reports indicating he is good to go for the opener, this price drop makes him an attractive draft-day steal.
