Read the Rico Dowdle fantasy football waiver wire pickup analysis for Week 6 of 2024. RotoBaller's advice for Rico Dowdle waiver wire adds for free agents.
BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle has emerged as the starting running back and should be added in all leagues.
In Week 5, Dowdle tallied a season-high 87 yards on 20 attempts and added 27 yards and a score on two receptions. This was the first game this season where Dowdle totaled over 100 scrimmage yards.
In addition, Dowdle saw 14 more carries than No. 2 running back Ezekiel Elliott, which further suggests Dowdle is the leader in the backfield. In Week 4, Elliott saw just six fewer carries than Dowdle.

Also, the 26-year-old has seen at least two targets in three games this season showing a high-floor in PPR formats.
Dowdle should be added in all leagues as he should see at least 20 touches every game playing on one of the better offenses in football and is a viable RB2/high-end flex option going forward.
