Who Should I Start? Dare Ogunbowale or Justice Hill

Friday, September 19, 9:15 PM

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale has played significant snaps in the first two weeks of the season, but the veteran could be in for a reduced workload as the team tries to find more dynamic playmakers to jumpstart the offense. He's expected to play a reduced role against the Jaguars in Week 3 as the Texans lean more on rookie Woody Marks instead of the veteran Obubowale. In Week 1, he played 27% of snaps, and in Week 2, he played 20% of snaps. After two carries and two catches in Week 1, he didn't have an offensive opportunity in Week 2. Marks made some big plays as well, showing the spark he brings to the offense. Ogunbowale is only the RB76 in the RotoBaller Week 3 rankings, so he's off the radar in all but the deepest of leagues this week.

Baltimore Ravens running back Justice Hill had a monster game last week, but should be considered only a RB4/Flex option in deeper formats in Week 5 against the Houston Texans. Hill has appeared with outsized fantasy performances from time to time during his career, but has never had back-to-back top-10 finishes as a fantasy running back. With quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) out, the Ravens are set to lean on the Derrick Henry-led running attack, which could mean fewer targets for Hill, the primary driver of his fantasy value. Against a Houston defense that allows scoring drives at the lowest rate in the NFL, managers should tread cautiously with Hill before expecting a repeat of last week.
