Dare Ogunbowale (RB, JAX) - Fantasy Football Week 18 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues

ROSTERED IN: 34% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: We already recommended targeting Dare Ogunbowale last week as a fantastic WW addition, and that isn't going to change getting into the last week of the season. Of course, this play wouldn't have been possible without James Robinson getting done for the year, but here we are. J-Rob isn't coming back, Ogunbowale has had two great games on the last two weeks, and if you're still lucky enough to find available you should definitely grab some shares of Dare.

Ogunbowale is coming off back-to-back (almost) 15-PPR-point outings with the Jaguars. He reached 15.2 a couple of weekends ago and he posted a 14.8-mark this past Sunday against New England. Although the usage went down a bit (from 61 snaps played to just 31 last Sunday; from an 82% snap share to a 65% one this past weekend), Dare was good for 9 carries and 36 yards on the ground while catching both of his two targets for 32 more yards and a touchdown, his first one this season.

As you see, it's not that Ogunbowale is getting huge touch numbers or anything of the like, but he's made the most of his chances in two consecutive weeks playing in a putrid squad that won't have any interest in winning their last week with the no. 1 pick still in play. In other words, Jacksonville could very well rush the rock as much as possible while hoping to get that sweet L that gives them access to the top-overall draft pick come Spring time.
