Rico Dowdle and Chuba Hubbard will both 'get their touches'

Rico Dowdle's usage is expected to change in some way once Chuba Hubbard returns from injury. "While Dowdle has earned a prominent role, I'm told the Panthers are taking the approach that both players will get their touches regardless of who gets the first snap… Dowdle said the previous setup was that Hubbard got the first two series and Dowdle would get the third. Expect Carolina to tweak that to accommodate the prowess of both players." (Jeremy Fowler via ESPN)
Fantasy Impact:
Dowdle has been dominant over the last two weeks, totaling 473 yards from scrimmage, 66.3 PPR points, and two touchdowns. He is carrying a hyper-efficient 5.83 yards per carry average. Regression in his yards-per-carry is inevitable but if he maintains efficiency, he can continue to produce consistent RB2 numbers in the right matchup. While it’s likely Dowdle will see fewer opportunities in Week 7, he remains a startable asset. This is a developing situation and updates throughout the week may shift his fantasy outlook.
