Who Should I Start? Dare Ogunbowale or Mike Boone

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale only had one carry on Sunday against the Chiefs, but he took that carry five yards for one of the team's two touchdowns of the night. The Texans extended their winning streak with a huge 20-10 win on the road in Kansas City, and Ogunbowale was more involved than usual since he helped fill in after Nick Chubb (rib) left with an injury in the first half. Ogunbowale could help fill in the gap if Chubb misses time moving forward, although Woody Marks carried the load on Sunday with 26 carries and two catches. The Texans trust Ogunbowale near the goal line and he's a solid receiver, so he'd be an interesting option if he got significant playing time in the next few weeks.

Free-agent running backs Mike Boone and Aaron Shampklin have signed contracts with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins wasted little time beefing up their running-back corps after they lost Alexander Mattison (neck) to a season-ending neck injury following their first preseason game on Sunday. Boone played in six games for the Carolina Panthers in 2024, handling 13 carries for 51 yards. Shampklin appeared in four games for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, carrying the ball six times for 17 yards. Both players will compete with Ollie Gordon II and Jaylen Wright for a reserve role behind locked-in starter De'Von Achane.
