Rico Dowdle struggles against Patriots, exits with toe injury

In Week 2 of the NFL season, Rico Dowdle of the Pittsburgh Steelers faced challenges against the New England Patriots. He managed seven carries for 22 yards and two receptions for another 22 yards before leaving the game early due to a toe injury sustained while attempting to recover a fumble. Dowdle briefly returned at the start of the third quarter but was subsequently ruled out before the fourth. His performance has raised concerns among fantasy managers, especially given his limited touches in the opener against Atlanta.
