Dare Ogunbowale - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Plays sparingly Week 9 Ogunbowale had one carry for one yard and caught his lone target for four yards during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Bills.

Impact Starter James Robinson (ankle) was inactive for Sunday's contest, but Ogunbowale played only eight offensive snaps, while Carlos Hyde dominated Jacksonville's backfield reps. There would need to be a significant shakeup in the Jaguars backfield in order for Ogunbowale to enter fantasy relevance.

Three touches Week 8 Ogunbowale had two carries for nine yards and caught his lone target for nine yards during Sunday's 31-7 loss at Seattle.

Impact Ogunbowale played a season-high 15 offensive snaps with James Robinson (ankle) exiting early Sunday, while Carlos Hyde dominated the snaps and backfield touches the rest of the way. Robinson is considered day-to-day and appears to have avoided a serious injury, but Ogunbowale would still only be in line for a change-of-pace role if Hyde were forced to be the fill-in starter.

Appears set in No. 3 role Ogunbowale carried the ball twice for six yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's preseason win over the Cowboys.

Impact The Jaguars helpfully made it very clear what their backfield pecking order looks like in the team's preseason finale, as James Robinson worked the first two series of the game and Carlos Hyde got the third (and Trevor Lawrence's last), before Ogunbowale took over for the rest of the first half. Barring another injury ahead of him on the depth chart like the one that ended the season of Travis Etienne (foot), Ogunbowale could once again see more snaps on special teams than he does on offense.

Re-ups with Jaguars Ogunbowale signed his ERFA tender with the Jaguars on Monday, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

Impact Ogunbowale played a depth role behind James Robinson last season, but with just 199 yards from scrimmage across 14 games, he wasn't a significant factor for fantasy purposes. With the offseason addition of Carlos Hyde, Ogunbowale's path to offensive touches has only gotten more crowded.

APRIL 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 72 total yards Ogunbowale had 14 carries for 50 yards and caught four of seven targets for 22 yards during Sunday's 28-14 loss to the Colts.

Impact The 26-year-old played all but two offensive snaps in the absence of workhorse James Robinson (ankle). Ogunbowale spent most of the season working in a passing-down role with minimal production, but he was the lead tailback for the final two games of the season, rushing 28 times for 121 yards while catching seven passes for 29 yards in that stretch. He's set to be an exclusive rights free agent in 2021 and could remain in Jacksonville, though he'd revert to a reserve role with Robinson back in the mix.

Impact Heading into Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bears, the Jaguars' plans at running back sans Robinson weren't fully known, but Ogunbowale -- who had previously been mostly limited to a passing-down role -- emerged as the team's clear lead option. Ogunbowale (39 offensive snaps, 17 touches) saw more work than backup Devine Ozigbo (11, two) by a large margin, and he was efficient with those opportunities, gaining 4.5 yards per touch. Jacksonville could elect to add another back to the roster to provide competition Week 17, but for the time being, Ogunbowale looks poised for another turn in the lead role to conclude the season.

Jags limp into finale with QB Glennon, without RB Robinson

The worst and potentially best season in Jacksonville’s relatively brief history is coming to a close

DECEMBER 30, 2020 • Associated Press

Impresses with increased role Ogunbowale rushed 14 times for 71 yards, secured three of five targets for seven yards and had six kick-return yards in the Jaguars' 41-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Stepping into the lead role in the backfield with James Robinson (ankle) out of action, Ogunbowale thrived with his opportunity by putting together an efficient performance on the ground. The fourth-year journeyman had logged just four carries all season prior to Sunday and had never topped 11 rush attempts in any of his three previous seasons, so he was in uncharted territory in terms of workload. If the 1-14 Jaguars hold Robinson out again in Week 17, Ogunbowale figures to helm the ground attack again versus Indianapolis.

Jags starting Mike Glennon vs Bears, sitting James Robinson

Mike Glennon will make his fourth start of the season when the skidding Jacksonville Jaguars host playoff-hopeful Chicago on Sunday

DECEMBER 26, 2020 • Associated Press

Potential for increased role Ogunbowale could have an increased role Sunday against the Bears if James Robinson (ankle) is limited or unavailable, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

Impact Robinson suffered an ankle injury Week 15 and was unable to practice all week, and he's considered questionable for Sunday's contest. Ogunbowale had a season-high 25 scrimmage yards last week on only 14 offensive snaps and has played a minor offensive role most of the year. Robinson has dominated the backfield touches for Jacksonville this season, so if he's unavailable Ogunbowale could have some volume-based fantasy value.

DECEMBER 25, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Totals 25 yards from scrimmage Ogunbowale had two carries for 17 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Ravens.

Impact The 26-year-old broke off a 17-yard carry in the closing minutes of the contest but was otherwise minimally involved in the offense. Starter James Robinson exited late due to an ankle injury, and Ogunbowale would be the likely beneficiary should Robinson be sidelined or limited Week 16 against the Bears.

DECEMBER 21, 2020 • FANDUEL.COM

Works in No. 2 role Ogunbowale rushed twice for seven yards and failed to catch two targets during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Impact The two carries is hardly significant in the big picture, but it's still notable given it's Ogunbowale's first of the season, and also the first time a running back besides James Robinson has received a carry since Week 9. Ogunbowale was the only running back behind Robinson to play any offensive snaps, so he appears to have secured the No. 2 job in the backfield, not that there's any fantasy potential in that role.

DECEMBER 7, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Clear of hand injury Ogunbowale (hand) was a full participant during the Jaguars' practice session Thursday.

Impact After garnering a season-high 13 offensive snaps in Jacksonville's preceding matchup against Pittsburgh, Ogunbowale was deemed unavailable to face the Browns in Week 12. He collected 303 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns over 46 touches last year as a Buccaneer, but thus far in 2020, Ogunbowale has been seldom deployed. He's registered just one touch on offense this season, as undrafted rookie James Robinson continues to dominate the RB workshare.

Inactive Week 12 Ogunbowale (hand) is inactive for Sunday's game against Cleveland.

Impact Ogunbowale was considered questionable with the hand injury but will be unavailable for Sunday's contest. Devine Ozigbo will operate as Jacksonville's secondary running back, though James Robinson should once again dominate the backfield work.

NOVEMBER 29, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Considered questionable Ogunbowale (hand) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Impact Ogunbawale played a season-high 13 snaps on offense last week and was targeted twice. If he's unable to play Sunday, it'll mainly affect the depth behind bell cow James Robinson. Both Devine Ozigbo and Nathan Cottrell stand to benefit if Ogunbowale sits out.

NOVEMBER 27, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Catches one pass Ogunbowale caught one of two targets for five yards and had two tackles during Sunday's 24-20 loss at Green Bay.

Impact The 26-year-old saw additional offensive snaps and had his first touch of the season with Chris Thompson (back) leaving early with injury, but James Robinson still dominated the backfield work for Jacksonville. Ogunbowale could see sporadic chances as the passing-down back should Thompson miss time, but he's unlikely to be much of a factor in the offense regardless.

NOVEMBER 16, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Two tackles against Chargers Ogunbowale fielded six offensive snaps with no touches, also collecting two tackles on 21 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.

Impact Ogunbowale has yet to garner an offensive touch in his debut campaign with the Jaguars, after logging 35 receptions and 11 rushes for a total of 303 scrimmage yards last year in Tampa Bay. So far in 2020, James Robinson has dominated the running back workload by fielding 107 of the position's 113 carries and 32 of the 51 RB targets. Barring an injury on the depth chart ahead of him, Ogunbowale seems destined for extremely limited offensive usage.

Not playing in season opener Ogunbowale (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Leonard Fournette and Ogunbowale essentially swapped franchises earlier this month, as the former landed in Tampa Bay while the latter headed to Jacksonville after they were waived by the respective organizations. Unlike Fournette before him in Jacksonville, Ogunbowale won't be in line for nearly as substantial of a role, with most of the reps he earns coming in obvious passing situations. So long as Chris Thompson is healthy and available, however, Ogunbowale may become a fixture on the inactive list, as he's somewhat redundant as a second pass-catching back.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Let go by Bucs The Buccaneers will waive Ogunbowale, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

Impact Ogunbowale appeared destined for a change-of-pace/special-teams role with the Bucs, but the team's recent addition of Leonard Fournette made him the odd man out, with Ronald Jones, Ke'Shawn Vaughn and LeSean McCoy also in the mix. It remains to be seen if Ogunbowale catches on with another team in short order or circles back with Tampa Bay once the ongoing league-wide roster trimming settles down.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 • ROTOWIRE

Stuck on special teams? Ogunbowale's special teams value could keep him on the roster even after the Buccaneers signed Leonard Fournette, Greg Auman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Fournette, Ronald Jones and third-round rookie Ke'Shawn Vaughn are roster locks, and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network suggests LeSean McCoy is still expected to have a role, potentially handling the passing-down work that went to Ogunbowale last season. It's rare for a team to carry five running backs, but it wouldn't be an unreasonable choice if Vaughn is starting the season as a healthy scratch and Ogunbowale is taking snaps on multiple special teams units.
