Ogunbowale is expected to remain the Jaguars' starting running back Week 17 against the Colts after head coach Doug Marrone said Wednesday that James Robinson (ankle) would miss a second straight contest, John Oesher of Jacksonville's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Heading into Sunday's 41-17 loss to the Bears, the Jaguars' plans at running back sans Robinson weren't fully known, but Ogunbowale -- who had previously been mostly limited to a passing-down role -- emerged as the team's clear lead option. Ogunbowale (39 offensive snaps, 17 touches) saw more work than backup Devine Ozigbo (11, two) by a large margin, and he was efficient with those opportunities, gaining 4.5 yards per touch. Jacksonville could elect to add another back to the roster to provide competition Week 17, but for the time being, Ogunbowale looks poised for another turn in the lead role to conclude the season.

Ogunbowale rushed 14 times for 71 yards, secured three of five targets for seven yards, and had six kick-return yards in the Jaguars' 41-17 loss to the Bears on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Stepping into the lead role in the backfield with James Robinson (ankle) out of action, Ogunbowale thrived with his opportunity by putting together an efficient performance on the ground. The fourth-year journeyman had logged just four carries all season prior to Sunday and had never topped 11 rush attempts in any of his three previous seasons, so he was in uncharted territory in terms of workload. If the 1-14 Jaguars hold Robinson out again in Week 17, Ogunbowale figures to helm the ground attack again versus Indianapolis.

Ogunbowale could have an increased role Sunday against the Bears if James Robinson (ankle) is limited or unavailable, John Reid of The Florida Times-Union reports.

EDGE Analysis

Robinson suffered an ankle injury Week 15 and was unable to practice all week, and he's considered questionable for Sunday's contest. Ogunbowale had a season-high 25 scrimmage yards last week on only 14 offensive snaps and has played a minor offensive role most of the year. Robinson has dominated the backfield touches for Jacksonville this season, so if he's unavailable Ogunbowale could have some volume-based fantasy value.

Ogunbowale had two carries for 17 yards and caught his lone target for eight yards during Sunday's 40-14 loss to the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old broke off a 17-yard carry in the closing minutes of the contest but was otherwise minimally involved in the offense. Starter James Robinson exited late due to an ankle injury, and Ogunbowale would be the likely beneficiary should Robinson be sidelined or limited Week 16 against the Bears.

Ogunbowale rushed twice for seven yards and failed to catch two targets during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

EDGE Analysis

The two carries is hardly significant in the big picture, but it's still notable given it's Ogunbowale's first carries of the season, and also the first time a running back besides James Robinson has received a carry since Week 9. Ogunbowale was the only running back behind Robinson to play any offensive snaps, so he appears to have secured the No. 2 job in the backfield, not that there's any fantasy potential in that role.

Ogunbowale (hand) was a full participant during the Jaguars' practice session Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

After garnering a season-high 13 offensive snaps in Jacksonville's preceding matchup against Pittsburgh, Ogunbowale was deemed unavailable to face the Browns in Week 12. He collected 303 scrimmage yards and two touchdowns over 46 touches last year as a Buccaneer, but thus far in 2020, Ogunbowale has been seldom deployed. He's registered just one touch on offense this season, as undrafted rookie James Robinson continues to dominate the RB workshare.

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbowale was considered questionable with the hand injury but will be unavailable for Sunday's contest. Devine Ozigbo will operate as Jacksonville's secondary running back, though James Robinson should once again dominate the backfield work.

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbawale played a season-high 13 snaps on offense last week and was targeted twice. If he's unable to play Sunday, it'll mainly affect the depth behind bell cow James Robinson. Both Devine Ozigbo and Nathan Cottrell stand to benefit if Ogunbowale sits out.

Ogunbowale caught one of two targets for five yards and had two tackles during Sunday's 24-20 loss at Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

The 26-year-old saw additional offensive snaps and had his first touch of the season with Chris Thompson (back) leaving early with injury, but James Robinson still dominated the backfield work for Jacksonville. Ogunbowale could see sporadic chances as the passing-down back should Thompson miss time, but he's unlikely to be much of a factor in the offense regardless.

Ogunbowale fielded six offensive snaps with no touches, also collecting two tackles on 21 special-teams snaps during Sunday's 39-29 loss to the Chargers.

EDGE Analysis

Ogunbowale is yet to garner an offensive touch in his debut campaign with the Jaguars, after logging 35 receptions and 11 rushes for a total of 303 scrimmage yards last year in Tampa Bay. So far in 2020, James Robinson has dominated the running back workload by fielding 107 of the position's 113 carries and 32 of the 51 RB targets. Barring an injury on the depth chart ahead of him, Ogunbowale seems destined for extremely limited offensive usage.
