        PIT RB

        Rico Dowdle A Full-Go Thursday

        Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Buccaneers. RB Jaylen Warren has been excellent with Dowdle out the past three weeks and should remain the lead back in Week 6. Exactly how much work Dowdle takes remains to be seen, but HC Mike McCarthy called Warren the offense's "featured player" earlier this week. Warren should stay locked into fantasy lineups this week. Dowdle would be a risky start in his first game back from turf toe.

        Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) remained limited in practice Wednesday. He was limited all last week before missing the Colts game. We're tentatively expecting Dowdle to play vs. the Buccaneers this weekend but will keep you updated on his status. Dowdle won't be a recommended fantasy start in his first game back, but his return would dent RB Jaylen Warren's fantasy value.

        Steelers RB Jaylen Warren ran 15 times for 101 yards (6.7 yards per carry) and a TD in Sunday’s 34-22 win over the Colts. He added 6 catches on 6 targets for 87 yards and another TD, highlighted by an 80-yard score. That totaled 188 scrimmage yards and 36.8 PPR points, one of the top RBs for the week. His longest run went for 50 yards. With Rico Dowdle out, Warren again dominated the backfield snaps, while Lew Nichols got just 1 carry.

        Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Colts. He got in 3 limited practices this week, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for next Sunday’s game vs. the Buccaneers. But RB Jaylen Warren gets to play workhorse again today.

        Steelers RB Rico Dowdle (toe) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Colts today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. "Steelers will make final determination in pre-game warmups," Schefter adds. We'll get Pittsburgh's inactives around 11:30 am ET, but Dowdle should be on fantasy benches for now. His absence would keep RB Jaylen Warren in a workhorse role.
