Rico Dowdle vs CIN at home — Monitoring Health in Division Clash

Dowdle's status is in question after he was carted to the locker room with a toe injury on Sunday. Operating behind Jaylen Warren in the Steelers' backfield rotation, he has split touches across the first two weeks with 15 rush attempts and four receptions on seven targets. Managers should track late-week practice reports for clearance.

If healthy, our weekly projections peg him for around 52 rushing yards on 11 to 12 carries, positioning him for about 10.9 fantasy points. His fantasy start rate has plummeted to 24% amid the injury concern, making him a risky flex option best reserved for deeper leagues until full health is confirmed.

Outlook Ryan Flournoy

Ryan Flournoy vs. BAL — Expanded Slot Role in High-Scoring Matchup

Flournoy recently inked a one-year contract extension and is operating as Dallas' starting slot receiver alongside CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens. He has built early momentum through two games, earning 10 targets and hauling in seven catches for 45 yards as a reliable short-yardage outlet.

Looking ahead to a projected high-scoring environment, our models forecast Flournoy for roughly 3.1 receptions, 35 receiving yards, and 7.7 fantasy points against Baltimore. With his start rate currently at zero percent, he remains off standard-league radars, though his steady target volume provides appeal as a deep-league stash.
