Episode notes
Rico Dowdle's Real But Fragile Role
- Rico Dowdle has posted back-to-back 200+ scrimmage yard games and is seeing ~30 touches and ~19% target share.
- Matthew Berry thinks Dowdle is a mid-tier RB2 but warns Chuba Hubbard's return could reduce his ceiling.
Think Twice Before Selling Dowdle
- Don't sell Rico Dowdle unless you can extract true RB1 value because his current usage is rare.
- Buyers likely won't pay full value, so riding him may be safer than selling high.
Pickens Is A High‑Upside Secondary Star
- George Pickens is thriving in Dallas with high end-zone usage and large target share while CeeDee Lamb returns.
- Matthew Berry believes the Cowboys can support two top-20 wide receivers with Pickens and Lamb.
