Rico Dowdle is the first undrafted player in a decade with three straight 100-plus yard rushing games. Here's why he's been so successful.
Dallas dominated Carolina in a 30-14 road win despite the Panthers hanging tough with both the Eagles and Chiefs in recent weeks
Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle set a career-high with 25 carries and 149 yards in Sunday's win over Carolina. He s now hit the century mark in three straight outings.
Dowdle rushed the ball 25 times for 149 yards in Sunday's 30-14 win over the Panthers. He was not targeted.
Despite the incredible rushing line, Dowdle ended the day with a quiet, 14.9 fantasy points. He was not targeted and all three of the Cowboys' touchdowns came through the air. While fantasy managers may be left wanting more, Dowdle's role remained elite. He out-carried Ezekiel Elliott 25-9 and set a career-high in rush attempts. Dowdle has now seen at least 20 opportunities (carries plus targets) in four straight games. His elite role will have him fighting for an RB1 rank in Week 16 against the Bucs.
