Fantasy Impact: The writing was on the wall for Mixon, who not only missed all of the 2025 season due to injury, but also had his replacement, David Montgomery, join the team just days ago via a trade.

Fantasy Impact: The deal is worth “up to” $7 million. Brown was released by Houston in training camp last year before he was brought back on the practice squad.

Fantasy Impact: Ward missed the entire 2025 season, spending the year on the reserve physically unable to perform list. Ward also suffered off-the-field issues as he was arrested twice in the span of three months over the summer. He has had an 11-year NFL career to date with the 49ers and Texans and has totaled 549 tackles, 10 interceptions, and 51 passes defended.

The Texans have traded a 4th and 7th-round pick alongside OL Juice Scruggs to the Lions in exchange for RB David Montgomery. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: With Montgomery on the move, Detroit bolsters its offensive line depth even more with the addition of Scruggs. The Lions offensive line was consistently banged up throughout this past season.

Tytus Howard has been traded to the Cleveland Browns for a fifth round pick. Cleveland will also give him a 3-year, $63 million extension. (Source: Ian Rapoport on X)

Fantasy Impact: Howard was part of a Texans offensive line that struggled to begin 2025, but improved as the season went on. Howard himself is a good pass blocker but could use some improvement in his run blocking game. Either way, getting a starting tackle for a fifth round pick isn’t too bad a price, even with the extension money tacked on.
