Rico Dowdle (ankle) practices in full on Thursday

Dallas Cowboys RB Rico Dowdle practiced in full on Thursday despite his ankle injury, upgrading from his limited status on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact: Dowdle was ruled out from Week 17’s win against Detroit due to an ankle injury, but he could be back for Week 18 given his promising status on Thursday. Dowdle has seen some games where he was given increased responsibility recently, and playing against a poor Washington defense, Dowdle could see more usage in the second half if Dallas were to get up to an early lead as it fights for the No. 2 seed. He’s more of a sneaky, cheap DFS option than a player to turn to in fantasy championships.
