Fantasy Impact
Dowdle is coming off of a second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season as he totaled 1,076 yards and a career-high six touchdowns with the Carolina Panthers. He finished four yards shy of surpassing his career-high of 1,079 yards in his final season with Dallas in 2024. Dowdle has played five seasons in the NFL and has carried the ball 567 times - but 471 of those have come in the last two seasons. He'll be the new running mate to Jaylen Warren in the Steelers' backfield in 2026.
