Latest news
Ogunbowale didn't record an offensive touch or target in Sunday's 24-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Even with David Montgomery (groin) and Jawhar Jordan (quadriceps) injured and inactive, Ogunbowale played just seven offensive snaps behind Woody Marks' 54. Ogunbowale can continue to be ignored in fantasy football.

The Texans signed Ogunbowale off the Raiders' practice squad Tuesday.
Ogunbowale signed with the Raiders' practice squad after being trimmed from the team's roster during final cuts. The running back now returns to Houston, where he participated in 129 offensive snaps and 281 special-teams snaps over 17 regular-season games in 2025.

The Raiders signed Ogunbowale to the practice squad Monday.
Ogunbowale was unable to beat out Dylan Laube for the Raiders' RB3 role behind Ashton Jeanty (ankle) and Mike Washington, prompting Las Vegas to release Ogunbowale on Sunday. The veteran running back will stay with the organization as a member of the practice squad, and he could be elevated to the active roster for Week 1 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Sept. 13 if Jeanty is ruled out.

Ogunbowale was released by Las Vegas on Sunday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
After signing with the Raiders earlier in August, Ogunbowale has failed to make the 53-man roster. The veteran running back had been competing for a depth role, but it looks like the Raiders are content to roll with the younger Mike Washington and Dylan Laube as their backfield depth options behind Ashton Jeanty (ankle), even with Jeanty's status for Week 1 still uncertain.

Ogunbowale signed a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday.
After a four-year run in Houston, Ogunbowale will head to Las Vegas and will battle for a backup running back job in training camp and the preseason. The 32-year-old has averaged just 3.4 yards per carry for his career, but he's been serviceable on passing downs and has found a spot on NFL rosters each of the past nine seasons mainly because of his contributions on special teams. In Las Vegas, Ogunbowale looks set to compete with third-year player Dylan Laube and undrafted rookie Roman Hemby for the third spot on the depth chart behind Ashton Jeanty and fourth-round rookie Mike Washington.

Ogunbowale played 18 snaps on special teams in Sunday's 28-16 playoff loss to New England.
Ogunbowale never stepped on the field with offense and finished out his fourth season in Houston with 11 carries for 25 yards and one touchdown. He added 10 catches on 13 targets for 76 yards over 17 regular-season games. The 31-year-old back, who served as a captain in 2025, did a little bit of everything during his Texans tenure, which included serving as an emergency placekicker. He enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent but is popular within the organization. Ogunbowale's vast experience as a special teams player should find him a home in Houston or elsewhere.

Verdexed board · 2026
| Format | Our rank | Market ADP | Value | Proj pts | Floor–Ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPR | RB123 (#446) | undrafted | -56 | 96.8 | 3.4–154.0 |
| Half PPR | RB128 (#443) | undrafted | -70 | 81.4 | -12.0–138.6 |
| Standard | RB135 (#451) | undrafted | -78 | 66.3 | -27.1–123.5 |
“Value” is market slot minus our slot: positive means the market lets you draft him later than our blend ranks him. Ranks blend our projection model with ADP at backtested weights, the receipts are on methodology.
Trade value: what to ask for Dare
Our board has Dare Ogunbowale at RB123, #446 overall in PPR, and the market leaves him undrafted. The market prices him about 56 picks higher than we do, so in a trade ask for more than his slot suggests: a fair return is a player the market ranks near #446, and you are giving up someone our model values as a #446. He projects to 96.8 points (floor 3.4, ceiling 154.0).
RBs in that range on our board right now: Ulysses Bentley IV (#440, NO), Chris Brooks (#442, GB), JaMycal Hasty (#443, NE), DJ Giddens (#449, IND), Will Shipley (#451, PHI), Jaret Patterson (#452, CLE).
