• Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Joins Houston backfield

  03/16/2022 •

  Ogunbwale agreed Wednesday with the Texans on a two-year, $3.3 million deal, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports. Ogunbowale joins a Texans running-back corps in transition. Once the dust settles after free agency and the draft, however, a better read on Ogunbowale's role in 2022 should become available. In all likelihood, the 27-year-old will enter the upcoming season no higher than second on the depth chart, as he's been relegated to a depth role throughout his career and hasn't been especially productive with his limited opportunities.

• Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Minor production on 14 touches

  01/10/2022 •

  Ogunbowale had 11 carries for 30 yards and caught three of six targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 26-11 win over the Colts. Ogunbowale played 68 percent of the offensive snaps and led Jacksonville's backfield with 14 touches, though Ryquell Armstead out-produced him with 11 touches for 62 yards. Ogunbowale took on a larger role down the stretch following injuries to James Robinson (Achilles) and Carlos Hyde (concussion), and he finished 2021 with 43 carries for 137 yards and one touchdown to go along with 13 catches for 114 yards and another score. The 27-year-old will enter next season as a restricted free agent, so he could return to the Jags in a depth role should the team tender him a contract.

• Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Tallies another touchdown

  01/02/2022 •

  Ogunbowale rushed nine times for 36 yards and caught both his targets for 32 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 50-10 loss to the Patriots. Ogunbowale was unable to find much success through most of the afternoon, though he salvaged the day for fantasy managers with a 28-yard touchdown catch-and-run on a screen pass in garbage time. He mostly split backfield work with Ryquell Armstead, who had seven touches, but neither back found much success prior to the touchdown. Ogunbowale should operate as Jacksonville's top tailback again in Week 18, but he has a limited ceiling in a tough matchup versus Indianapolis.

• Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Scores TD after Robinson injury

  12/26/2021 •

  Ogunbowale rushed 17 times for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jets. He added two catches on four targets for 15 yards after taking over as the lead back for the injured James Robinson (Achilles). Robinson reportedly suffered a partial tear of his Achilles, per Michael DiRocco of ESPN. That injury will almost certainly sideline Robinson for the remainder of the season, so Ogunbowale should continue to work as Jacksonville's lead back in Week 17 against the Patriots and Week 18 against the Colts. Ogunbowale made the most of his opportunity in this one, finding the end zone from one yard out in the fourth quarter for his first touchdown in two seasons as a member of the Jaguars.

• Jaguars' Dare Ogunbowale: Two touches as backup

  12/19/2021 •

  Ogunbowale had one carry for one yard and caught one of two targets for five yards during Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Texans. Ogunbowale served as Jacksonville's No. 2 tailback with Carlos Hyde (concussion) sidelined, and he was minimally involved in the offense. James Robinson should continue to operate as the workhorse back if he can stay healthy.
