He has had cramps in previous games before, so maybe that again? Just guessing though.

I started Dowdle, Chuba to the bench. Did well in that league.
Less than thrilled in the league I only have Chuba.

Can’t believe the coaches had to debate this decision. Watching it live today at Lambeau, every time Rico was in the game the offense looked dangerous. He is so quick and elusive. Chuba looked like he was running in quicksand by comparison.
To be fair, I don't think Dallas is disappointed with Javonte. Seems like it worked out for Dallas and Carolina.

Delicious matchup against the Saints next week.

I say the same thing but in analyzing all the info out there I made what I thought, at the time, was a logical choice not to start him. This of course has changed now as it is clear the split looks like it will be +75% touches going forward. I didn't believe it would be 50-50 but maybe a 60-40 split. A GB team rated 3rd in the league against RB's was enough to scare me away especially after Buffalo put a beat down on them capping his yards the week before. I had 5 different choices to put into flex all of them within a point or two. Rico was 4th or 5th in consideration.

Traded Dowdle away in 2 dynasty leagues this offseason because I was "stacked" at RB and would "never play him"
Let this be a lesson learned for everyone never think you will ever Never play someone I could used those 28 pts yeterday.
I got a 3rd round pick in a FFPC league because I had to cut down to 14 position players so it only made sense to send him to the hubbard owner I thought a 2026 3rd was actually a good deal.
In my other though I offered him to the Hubbard owner a bunch of times during the rookie draft I started by asking for a 3rd rejected then a 4th rejected then a 5th rejected.
Finally I offered him for the 6.03 and 7.03 and I put in the offer a comment saying "this is your last chance" and sadly he accepted.
I wanted that 6.03 to take JCM but and when I made the trade the 6.01 was OTC and he took JCM so I was like well I do have Swift so I will take Monangai but then he went 6.02.
Brutal all the way around

Amazed at what this guy is doing.
Prior to this game, the GB D was considered one of the best. Rico was just ripping through there.
CAR is sooo determined to run the ball too and actually is in the playoff hunt.
Seriously...how many RBs would you rather have ROS ahead of Rico?
Waiver pickup of the year if this continues.

Also amazing that Dallas let him go and even more to a one year deal for 2.75 base. He can go over 6 with incentives.

Valid question. Always allowing for him slowing down some, getting dinged or teams simply selling out against the run (maybe they already are? I don't see many Panthers games)
Definitely prefer - Robinson, Taylor, McCaffrey, Jacobs, Cook
Maybe prefer - Gibbs, Barkley, Achane
That's about it, all subjective. Maybe 5-8 backs ahead of him, not bad for a free pick up in most redraft leagues.

Yep. Scored more than him despite being the backup for many weeks.
Makes much sense to me.
Canales did say he expected Dowdle to practice tomorrow
Only the headline number is "among the top paid RB's." His contract is quite backloaded and is basically a bunch of one year options. They could cut him before March and owe him nothing with only a $4.5M dead money hit.

A Rico Dowdle thread and no mention of his "Key n Peele" TD celebration??? WTHeck??
Canales brought Key in during a team meeting too lol.

TD 15 minutes into the day.
League winner as long as he's healthy.

His issue is the team he's on and the QB. Difficult to always produce when the opponent knows what's gonna happen on most plays.

Still think an old Andy Dalton might be better for this offense then Bryce Young. He's got ONE game over 200 yds passing

Rico has been the reason for this team's success. QBs aren't growing on trees of course but if the Panthers can get out of their own way and find a real QB this offseason, the sky's the limit.

This kid has to be the biggest surprise this season, along with Drake Maye & Jaxson Dart.
Thinking it may be time to sell high.
Faces LAR next week, then a bye week. Playoff schedule ok but end with SEA.
All that said, I'd only be selling REAL high for an RB or WR1 to somebody who is still riding the Rico hype train hard and for a player with a iron clad playoff schedule.

Counterargument: Panthers offense might be rounding into form, and if Young/McMillan can sustain even a little but, Dowdle will see lighter boxes.
I'm not confident anyone is selling a WR1 for Dowdle. I think he's more of a hold than anything else, or maybe a buy if the team that has him really needs a win in week 14.
It's certainly possible. In the league I own both Dowdle and TMac I hope you're right.
I also hope last week's performance wasn't a mirage.
