In four of his final six games last season, Rico<\/strong> Dowdle<\/strong> had 100-yard rushing games, so his success should come as no surprise.<\/p>\n

However, I don\u2019t think many could have forecasted his first 200-yard rushing performance.<\/p>\n

Dowdle was the running back bright spot of the week as usage dropped overall for the position, likely as a result of the increased passing volume and efficiency.<\/p>\n

Also, it was partially because the Eagles abandoned the running game.<\/p>\n

Running backs averaged a season low 20 carries per game.<\/p>\n

However, efficiency remained solid at 4.5 yards per carry compared to earlier in the season, when running backs had low volume and poor efficiency.<\/p>\n

Five running backs hit 100 rushing yards in Week 5, including Quinshon Judkins<\/strong> and Jacory Croskey-Merritt<\/strong>, the second week in a row that two rookie running backs reached triple digits.<\/p>\n

Last week's pick, De\u2019Von Achane<\/strong>, fell shy as he averaged 1.6 yards per carry, but the running back receiving parlay hit for a +1685 for anyone who tailed.<\/p>\n
