High wind typically means reduced pass volume (and higher run volume) and lessened passing efficiency.Our trusted projections expect Rico Dowdle to accrue 19.7 carries in this game, on average, putting him in the 99th percentile among running backs.The model projects Rico Dowdle to be a much bigger part of his team's run game in this contest (69.9% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (40.7% in games he has played).
