Though Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle hasn’t had the highest ceiling this season, he’s provided fantasy football managers with a very safe floor since taking over the lead-back role.
Among RBs with 100+ rush attempts this season, Dowdle’s 4.7 yards per rush attempt rank top-12 among RBs, averaging 3.21 yards after contact per attempt (tied, 13th). The bad news for Dowdle has been his stance on a struggling Dallas offense which is tied for the second-fewest offensive touchdowns this season (21). Dowdle has notched four scores this year, but could add another to the mix in Week 15 with a matchup against the Carolina Panthers on deck.
