Dare Ogunbowale Fantasy

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale finished the 2022 campaign with 42 carries for 123 yards and a touchdown, adding 20 receptions for 104 yards. The 28-year-old had his best stretch of games during the final four weeks of the season when rookie Dameon Pierce was dealing with an ankle injury, allowing him to be more involved. He had a season-high 11 rushing attempts and 33 rushing yards in Week 18 against the Colts. He also caught five passes for five yards. The Texans have several quality draft picks from the Deshaun Watson trade, making it probable they bolster their backfield this offseason. Additionally, Pierce will remain ahead of Ogunbowale regardless of who else they add, pushing him down the depth chart. He's only a stash in deeper dynasty leagues.

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale ended up playing in Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday despite being listed as questionable with a knee injury. He finished the 31-3 blowout loss with seven carries for 21 yards while catching two of his three targets for only four yards. Ogunbowale will continue to see an expanded role for one more game in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts with rookie Dameon Pierce (ankle) out, but he'll have very little upside in Houston's weak offense with Royce Freeman also involved. Freeman had seven carries as well on Sunday and caught three of his five targets for 20 yards in the passing game. The 28-year-old Ogunbowale played just 37 percent of the offensive snaps.

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale (knee) is officially active for Week 17 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Ogunbowale has yet to see a sizable workload despite the absence of rookie Dameon Pierce (ankle). The former has 16 rushes for just 42 yards over his last two games and should be avoided in most leagues this week.
