ADVICE

Ride Rico Dowdle's Hot Hand

Start Rico Dowdle confidently this week given his recent workload and production.

INSIGHT

Dowdle's Dual-Role Floor

Dowdle offers a safer floor due to his role in both rushing and receiving compared to pure runners.
The Panthers emphasize running and will ride the effective back until injury or clear decline.

ADVICE

Use Gentry For Floor, Respect The Matchup

Start Ashton Gentry for floor but temper expectations because of the tough Denver short-week matchup.
Favor him in season-long lineups when you value steady targets from the backfield.
