BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 1% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: It took 16 weeks and a very long time, but the moment you all had been waiting for has arrived: we have another RB1-injury to take advantage of... just in time for Championship Weekend! Will you be the brave fantasy GM to roster and deploy a RB2-to-date player next Sunday? Could very well win you the league when it comes to that player being Jacksonville Jaguars' backup Dare Ogunbowale, folks.
Prior to this Sunday, nobody remembered Ogunbowale. Let's be honest, that's the truth. He had logged a total of 52 snaps between Weeks 3 and 15, and then came Sunday of Week 16 and he played 61 snaps for an 82% snap share. Of course, it took RB1 James Robinson to get an Achilles injury for that to happen. But with that being the case and Robinson out ROS, it's all about Dare for W17 at the very least.
Ogunbowale (an oft-limited pass-catching back) got to rush the rock 17 (!) times last Sunday for 57 yards and a score. The Jaguars trusted Dare to be the lead back on rushing duties, and he delivered. It looks like Ogunbowale will be the leading man from the backfield come Week 17 and after putting up 15.2 PPR points on the board last Sunday (top-15 at the position pending MNF) we can't recommend adding-and-playing Ogunbowale enough. In every league, that is. Probably the best available-for-free Flex starter for those still fighting for the championship next weekend.
