Dare Ogunbowale News
Saturday, October 24, 3:17 AM
Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale will be the second running back for Houston this week against the Giants, with both David Montgomery (groin) and Jawhar Jordan (quad) ruled out. The veteran has been active in each of the last three games but has only played one snap, without a carry or a catch. While Woody Marks is expected to handle almost all the work in the backfield, the team is confident in Ogunbowale's ability to succeed as well, according to offensive coordinator Nick Caley. Caley said of Ogunbowale, "We have faith whoever's out there, we have faith that we're going to put them in the best position." Barring an injury to Marks, though, Ogunbowale will probably be only involved a little bit in the team's game plan. He is only the RB57 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings, so he can be left on the waiver wire in all but the deepest of leagues.

Riley Nowakowski News
Saturday, April 25, 11:23 AM
The Pittsburgh Steelers have selected Indiana tight end prospect Riley Nowakowski with the 169th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Nowakowski caught 32 passes for 387 yards and two receiving touchdowns in the Hoosiers' national championship-winning offense last year. He also got involved as a fullback, scoring two rushing touchdowns. We could see him take on a similar hybrid fullback/tight end role in Pittsburgh, serving as the team's replacement for Connor Heyward, who signed with the Raiders this offseason. Assuming that's the case, Nowakowski doesn't have a clear path to fantasy relevance. He can be avoided in most fantasy football drafts.
