Sharp take

Sharp SixStart

Warren practicing and Dowdle not is the only detail that matters here, and it points one direction. Warren has put up 11.3 and 9.7 FFPC points in a backfield he was already splitting; clearing that bar gets easier if the other guy sits. Pittsburgh as a 3.5-point underdog in a 42.5-point total caps the ceiling, so this is a flex body, not a difference maker. Start Warren and check the Friday report before you get attached. Dowdle stays on your bench until he practices.
