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.

Overall
Signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Texans in March of 2025.
Will have normal role Week 15
Ogunbowale is expected to be a depth option Sunday, as Woody Marks, who opened the week with a knee injury, carries no injury designation ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
The week started with both Marks and Nick Chubb (ribs) as non-participants in Wednesday's practice, opening a window slightly for Ogunbowale. Since then, Marks logged a limited practice Thursday and was a full participant Friday. Chubb sat out Thursday and got on the field Friday for a limited session, which included stretching on the side and working with the training staff. Ogunbowale could steal snaps from Chubb, but it looks like Marks should be a workhorse against Arizona.

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
Could have bigger role in Week 15
Ogunbowale could be in line for a larger role in Week 15 against the Cardinals, as Woody Marks and Nick Chubb were both sidelined at Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Chubb exited Houston's Week 14 win over Kansas City due to a rib injury, and Marks was absent from practice Wednesday due to a knee injury. Ogunbowale scored a five-yard touchdown on his only carry after Chubb's exit. Even if only one of Marks or Chubb plays, that would likely lead to Ogunbowale seeing more opportunities against a Cardinals defense that has allowed 18 total touchdowns to running backs.
