I could see it. I think both Dowdle and Chuba are both better as bellcow backs. We spent draft capital to acquire RB depth in Brooks and Etienne, Chuba is on a long term deal and just last season put up 1,200 yards. Dowdle has been great, I want him to get the carries this week, but end of the day he’s a UFA after the season and I doubt the FO spends more $ at the position to resign him.
Might as well feature him Sunday and see if the Chargers or Chiefs are willing to part with a 4th to fortify their run game.
