Dare Ogunbowale expected to open season as Bucs' passing-down back

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Dare Ogunbowale is expected to open the year as the team's third-down back, per Trevor Sikkema of Pewter Report.

What It Means:

Ogunbowale has, at times, looked like the Bucs' best running back, according to Sikkema. His all-around ability, especially in pass protection, has caught then coaching staff's eye the most. With Peyton Barber and Ronald Jones expected to split the early-down work, Ogunbowale could handle the bulk of the third-down and passing-down work, which should translate to a significant amount of snaps in the Bucs' pass-heavy offense.

numberFire's models modestly project Ogunbowale for 130.6 rushing yards, 181.0 receiving yards, and 1.2 touchdowns on 63.0 touches this season.
