2022 Fantasy Outlook
Ogunbowale, who was an undrafted free agent signed by the Texans in 2017, returns to Houston on a two-year deal. He never suited up for Houston other than preseason games but managed to carve out a marginal NFL career for three franchises over five seasons, most recently with Jacksonville. Ogunbowale joins a backfield in transition, which in theory means an opportunity (currently topping the depth chart are fourth-round pick Dameon Pierce and 32-year-old Rex Burkhead). However, the Texans likely kept Ogunbowale around for special teams and blocking, while a practice-squad call-up like Marlon Mack could be next in line for ground work if Pierce is demoted or misses time. Ogunbowale could see some targets if Burkhead needs to be replaced, but the passing-down role doesn't come with much upside. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS

Leads backs in finale
Ogunbowale had 11 carries for 33 yards and caught five of six targets for five yards in Sunday's 32-31 win over the Colts in Week 18.
ANALYSIS
Ogunbowale led all running backs in yards in what was his most productive game since becoming a regular in the rotation Week 12. Houston finished out the season with Ogunbowale, Royce Freeman and Rex Burkhead in the backfield following the season-ending ankle injury to Dameon Pierce. There's zero chance any of the three will challenge a healthy Pierce for the top spot in 2023. Of the three, only Ogunbowale has a contact for next season. Adding to the dynamic, the Texans fired head coach Lovie Smith, so there should be many changes to an underwhelming offense come September.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
The undrafted journeyman out of Wisconsin saw limited snaps behind rookie James Robinson for most of 2020, though he had 28 carries for 121 yards while catching seven passes for 29 yards over the last two games of the season. The Jags then drafted Travis Etienne in the first round, but his season-ending injury in August could clear up a role for Ogunbowale on passing downs. Still, James Robinson and Carlos Hyde figure to get the carries, while Ogunbowale is valued for special teams and blocking.
