2025 Fantasy Outlook
A special-teams stalwart, Ogunbowale saw more work than usual on offense in the first half of the season as both Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce dealt with injuries. Ogunbowale wound up with a career-high 310 scrimmage yards, but his 3.7 yards per carry doesn't suggest he's deserving of a bigger role. His roster spot should be secure due to his versatility, but Houston did use a fourth-round pick on Woody Marks in the 2025 Draft, creating additional competition for depth jobs in the backfield.

Hits paydirt in win
Ogunbowale had one carry for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over Kansas City in Week 14.
ANALYSIS
On his only offensive snap of the game, Ogunbowale weaved his way through an opening and ran over a couple of defenders for the go-ahead touchdown. It was just his second red-zone carry of the season. The opportunity came about because Nick Chubb (ribs) had been earlier removed from the game, and Woody Marks was injured on the previous play. Depending on the health of Marks and Chubb for a Week 15 contest against Arizona, Ogunbowale could be in line for more snaps than usual on offense.

2019
Ogunbowale has established himself as a special-teams ace in the NFL, but he's been unable to translate that secure roster spot into consistent opportunities for touches and has played more snaps on special teams than on offense in each of the last four seasons. He does offer some potential as a passing-down option, but his career 3.4 yards per carry highlights his limitations as a runner, and his efficiency has declined further any time he's gotten a sizable role. With Joe Mixon now heading the Texans' backfield, Ogunbowale has an even narrower path to fantasy utility.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Early pass-catching role?
Ogunbowale could open the season as Houston's third-down back after the team placed placed Joe Mixon on the reserve/non-football injury list Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Mixon will miss at least four weeks due to a foot injury. Ogunbowale's 19 catches last season over 17 regular-season games were second among Houston's running backs behind Mixon's 36. Neither Nick Chubb nor Dameon Pierce are accomplished pass catchers out of the backfield, while Woody Marks and British Brooks are unproven in that regard, leaving an opening for Ogunbowale to play in passing situations while Mixon's sidelined.
