Returning to Houston
Ogunbowale re-signed with the Texans on a one-year deal Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
After stints in Washington, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville, Ogunbowale will enter his third straight season in Houston. Primarily used on offense as a third-down back, the journeyman tallied 53 total yards in 2023 while also notably converting on a 29-yard field goal attempt. He will presumably compete for the No. 3 spot on the running back depth chart behind Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Kicks go-ahead FG
Ogunbowale kicked a go-ahead, 29-yard field goal in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 39-37 win over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn didn't play in the second half after injuring his quadriceps, so with the score tied 30-30 in the fourth quarter, Ogunbowale was called upon to kick the go-ahead field goal, and he made the kick. The running back's contribution as the emergency kicker proved crucial in a game Houston won by two points to improve to 4-4.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023

2020
2019
Following Dameon Pierce's season-ending ankle injury in Week 14 last season, the Texans were left with Ogunbowale, Royce Freeman and Red Burkhead in the backfield. Ogunbowale and Freeman finished the season as co-leads but neither was going to be featured for long. Pierce is back from his injury and the Texans also added a capable backup in Devin Singletary, who spent the first four years of his career in Buffalo, including at times as the lead back. Ogunbowale will be no better than third on the team's depth chart and probably fourth behind Mike Boone.
