Any fantasy football players who picked up Rico Dowdle earlier this season have reaped some great rewards.
But things could get tricky in Week 10, with Dowdle not getting great injury news on Wednesday.
The Panthers' new star RB didn't practice with the team, instead just off to the side, in the first reported practice day of the week.
He doesn't have the same kind of fantasy handcuff as some other backs, because Chuba Hubbard would've already been rostered in leagues.
If you have both Carolina RBs, then you're set. If not, a Dowdle absence would be tricky.

Rico Dowdle fantasy injury tip
------------------------------
The first thing to keep an eye on if Dowdle's health doesn't improve is the Bills' backfield, where James Cook is also battling injury.
If Cook is out, his replacement Ray Davis is a surefire pickup for anyone.
But if that doesn't present itself, there are a couple other pickup options.
Bam Knight (30% Yahoo rostered) will still be useful if Trey Benson isn't back for the Cardinals.
There are some platoon backs available in more than half of leagues, including Bhayshul Tuten, Kenneth Gainwell and Tyler Allgeier.
The Giants' Devin Singletary and Commanders' Chris Rodriguez Jr. are also deeper league pickup options as secondary options who get some carries.
