Quick answer

Hold

Dowdle ran for 1,076 yards and caught 39 passes in 2025, finishing RB17. He scored 11% more than his touches said he should. He's 28 with a quiet recent trend — no red flag, no spike either. Looking at 2026, he's a situational piece unless the role grows. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
