Rico Dowdle: limited at Wednesday practice with knee injury

THE FACT. Rico Dowdle was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice with a knee injury, according to the Steelers' official Week 7 injury report and NFL.com's Wednesday roundup. Pittsburgh plays the Saints in Paris on Sunday.

THE VERDICT. Limited on a Wednesday is the mildest version of bad news, and nothing in the report points toward a missed game. Start him. Redraft: leave him in, but a knee on a volume back is the injury most likely to cost touches late in a game rather than keep him out of it. Watch Thursday and Friday for an upgrade to full. DFS: playable, with the usual caveat that an international kickoff compresses the news window before lock.
