Fantasy Impact
In a shocking twist, the Bengals have changed gears and are trading Mixon to Houston instead of releasing him. It appears that instead of letting him test free angency, the Texans wanted to get their hands on the talented running back and secure him. He joins a great young core of CJ Stroud, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell. Their offense is taking shape and Mixon should be a big part of it in 2024. An RB1 finish should easily be in the cards.
