Dowdle ran for 37 yards and caught 4 passes in 2026, ranking RB75 through 2 games. Through 2 games the rank is RB75, off a RB17 season. Wait for more games before calling it a decline. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
