Rico Dowdle
RB - Carolina Panthers
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
Rico Dowdle ran for 58 yards on 15 carries in the Panthers 31-28 win over the Rams. He also caught 2-of-2 targets for 21 yards receiving.
Fantasy Impact
Dowdle had one big run for 17 yards, but he was otherwise shut down on the ground. He was outshined by Chuba Hubbard who saw 17 carries with a receiving score. It appears that it's becoming more of a committee right now in the Panthers backfield, moving Dowdle back to RB2 status.
Rico Dowdle rushed the ball six times for 38 yards and caught four passes for 36 yards in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
Dowdle was one of Carolina's lone bright spots on Monday night, leading the team in both rushing and receiving in their loss to the 49ers. Still, he ended with a disappointing fantasy total and has another tough matchup coming up against the Rams next week.

Fantasy Impact
