Joe Mixon
RB - Houston Texans
Availability
Joe Mixon carried the ball 25 times for 46 yards and a touchdown while catching two of his four targets for 44 yards in a 26-23 loss to the Lions in Week 10.
Fantasy Impact
Mixon turned in an inefficient outing as he averaged just 1.8 yards per carry but he extended his touchdown streak to five straight games along the way. The veteran running back has been excellent in his first season with the Texans, rushing for 655 yards and seven touchdowns across seven games. He will be an RB1 in Week 11's Monday night game against the Cowboys.
Joe Mixon carried the ball 24 times for 106 yards and a touchdown in a 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9's Thursday night game.
Fantasy Impact
Getting the ball to Mixon was a focal point for the Texans as they were down two starting receivers in Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee). Mixon responded well, posting his fifth 100-yard rushing game and sixth rushing touchdown of the season. The veteran running back is locked in as an RB1 in fantasy as he heads into a Week 10 matchup against the Lions.
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon ran for 102 yards on 25 carries with a touchdown in their Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Fantasy Impact
In four healthy games (Mixon got injured during Week 2's outing), the former Cincinnati Bengals RB has four 100-yard days on the ground, five rushing TDs with at least one in every performance and three games with 25+ carries. He's seeing both volume and high-value touches (20 targets in five games) providing both a strong floor and ceiling in an offense likely to get better as the season progresses.
Joe Mixon rushed for 115 yards and two touchdowns on 25 carries in the Texans 24-22 loss to the Packers. He caught 2-of-3 targets for nine yards.
Fantasy Impact
Mixon scored twice in the second quarter, both from inside the five yard line. Outside of Mixon, the remainder of the team's scoring came on field goals. Mixon remains a must start against the Colts in Week 8.
Joe Mixon (ankle) was limited at practice again on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
Mixon was at practice again on Thursday. He was once again limited, but it's looking like he's going to be available to play again in Week 7. Assuming that's the case, fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him in a matchup against the Packers.
