Dare Ogunbowale Losing Playing Time?

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale has played significant snaps in the first two weeks of the season, but the veteran could be in for a reduced workload as the team tries to find more dynamic playmakers to jumpstart the offense. He's expected to play a reduced role against the Jaguars in Week 3 as the Texans lean more on rookie Woody Marks instead of the veteran Obubowale. In Week 1, he played 27% of snaps, and in Week 2, he played 20% of snaps. After two carries and two catches in Week 1, he didn't have an offensive opportunity in Week 2. Marks made some big plays as well, showing the spark he brings to the offense. Ogunbowale is only the RB76 in the RotoBaller Week 3 rankings, so he's off the radar in all but the deepest of leagues this week.

Dare Ogunbowale Could Be Involved on Monday Night Football

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale played a larger role than expected in Week 1, and the 31-year-old veteran could be in the rotation again on Monday night, when the Texans host his former team, the Buccaneers. In Week 1, Ogunbowale played 27% of the team's offensive snaps, more than any other running back except. starter Nick Chubb. He was also the only running back who had any catches, hauling in two passes for 17 yards. He brings value for his pass blocking and receiving skills and should continue to rotate in on passing downs, which does give him very limited upside in the Texans' offense, which sputtered in Week 1 and failed to score a touchdown. The Bucs gave up six catches for 100 receiving yards and a touchdown to the Falcons' running backs in Week 1, so Ogunbowale is an extremely deep sleeper play this week and could be valuable as a DFS bargain streamer. He's only the RB64 in RotoBaller's rankings, though, so he doesn't deserve consideration in most standard leagues this week.

Dare Ogunbowale Projected to Make Texans' 53-Man Roster

ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime projects Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale to be one of five backs who make the team's initial 53-man roster. Notably, Bien-Aime does not include Joe Mixon (foot), writing that Mixon "can land on the non-football injury list to start the regular season." Without Mixon, the path to playing time in the backfield in Houston appears to be wide open. Veteran Nick Chubb will likely get the first crack at early-down work, but Ogunbowale could have a role on passing downs. In 17 games with the Texans last year, Ogunbowale had just 30 rush attempts but was targeted 28 times, recording 19 catches for 198 yards and a touchdown.

Texans Re-Sign Dare Ogunbowale To One-Year Deal

The Houston Texans re-signed running back Dare Ogunbowale to a one-year, $2 million deal, according to NFL Insider Tom Pelissero. The 30-year-old has spent the last three seasons with Houston as a backup and primary special teamer following two seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Overall, Ogunbowale has rushed 166 times for 569 yards and four touchdowns in 95 games across four organizations. Fantasy managers should not expect Ogunbowale to be on the fantasy radar in 2025 barring a slew of injuries to Houston's running back room.

Dare Ogunbowale Not A Recommended Fantasy Option In Week 12

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers during the 2024-25 campaign. With Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce both missing time this season due to injury, Ogunbowale had a chance to get involved, even if it was only for a game or two. Yet, that didn't happen, with the 30-year-old amassing only 25 carries for 68 yards this season. To be fair, he did have a receiving touchdown in the Week 4 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Still, outside of that, Ogunbowale has been non-existent from a fantasy standpoint. Keep him out of the starting line in Week 12 versus the Titans.

Dare Ogunbowale Involved As Receiving Option In Week 5

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale saved an inefficient running day against the Buffalo Bills with regular involvement in the passing game, hauling in six of seven targets for 57 yards in Houston's 23-20 win. The journeyman running back had a team-high 15 carries, but turned them into just 30 rushing yards. The former Wisconsin Badger saw a higher-than-normal volume of carries due to an injury to starter Joe Mixon (ankle), but his receiving productivity offered some hope he could continue to be involved when Mixon returns. Houston's distribution of carries likely will depend on the injury report prior to a Week 6 game at New England.

Dare Ogunbowale Starts At Running Back In Hall Of Fame Game

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale started and recorded 14 yards on three carries while catching two passes for 21 yards on two receptions in Thursday's Hall of Game against the Chicago Bears. Following him, J.J. Taylor gained 16 yards on six carries without involvement in the passing game. Both Ogunbowale and Taylor took the field ahead of Cam Akers, who has been with the team for only a week. As Akers continues to acclimate, he could move up the depth chart. The Texans' new starting running back, Joe Mixon (quad), is dealing with a soft tissue injury that has kept him out of practice. Even if he were fully healthy, Mixon wouldn't have played in the game, and there are no concerns about his readiness for the regular season. The Texans also rested backup halfback Dameon Pierce, which suggests the team considers him a strong candidate to keep his role as the primary backup. Ogunbowale will continue to battle Taylor and Akers this preseason for a roster spot. None have fantasy value without injuries to both Mixon and Pierce.

Dare Ogunbowale Re-Signs With Houston

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, free-agent running back Dare Ogunbowale agreed to a one-year deal to remain with the Texans. The 29-year-old spent the last two seasons in Houston. He made 29 appearances for the franchise during that span, amassing 50 carries for 158 yards and a touchdown while adding 22 catches for 122 yards. However, most of Ogunbowale's snaps were as a member of the special teams unit, and that likely won't change during the 2024-25 campaign. As a result, he's not expected to see any attention from fantasy managers, especially with Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce ahead on the depth chart.

Ka'imi Fairbairn Ruled Out, Dare Ogunbowale To Handle Kickoffs

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (quad) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 9 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Running back Dare Ogunbowale is the team's emergency kickoff specialist, and he kicked the ball off to open the second half. It's too early to tell whether the Texans will attempt another field goal or simply pursue fourth-down conversions for the remainder of Sunday's game.

Dare Ogunbowale Questionable For Season Opener

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale (hamstring) is considered questionable for the Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran back has been limited all week in practice due to a lingering hamstring issue. That being said, he could possibly be on the sideline for this game, assuming he's not better by Sunday. His absence won't have much of an impact in the backfield. Ogunbowale is fourth on the depth chart and is mainly a special teams player right now. Sometimes, Ogunbowale is mixed into passing downs, so Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce could see an uptick in value if Ogunbowale is unable to play.
