Outlook Rico Dowdle
Rico Dowdle at Atlanta — Committee Role Offers Solid Flex Appeal
Dowdle enters the matchup fully healthy, sharing duties with Jaylen Warren in Pittsburgh's backfield rotation. After joining the Steelers during the offseason, he has settled into a complementary rushing role that guarantees regular touches on early downs while chipping in as a check-down option for Aaron Rodgers.
Our weekly projections slate Dowdle for roughly 12 to 13 carries for 57 rushing yards alongside two catches for 17 receiving yards (13.1 fantasy points). Started in approximately 46% of fantasy leagues, Dowdle lacks the bell-cow volume to be a must-start, but fantasy managers can comfortably deploy him as a high-floor flex option against Atlanta.

Outlook Makai Lemon
Makai Lemon Opens Season as High-Upside Slot Stash
Makai Lemon is fully healthy entering Week 1 after moving past a training camp hamstring tweak and playing in the preseason finale. While listed as Philadelphia's primary slot receiver alongside DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks, missed practice time in August may limit his early snap volume.
Rostered in 87% of leagues but started in just 5%, fantasy managers are prudently taking a wait-and-see stance. Our weekly projection expects a modest showing of roughly 3 targets, 2 receptions, and 29 yards (6.1 fantasy points), making him a clear bench stash for now.
