Injury Joe Mixon expected to play in Week 6
Hasn't played since Week 2, ankle injury
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 11, 2:43 pm

Houston Texans
#Texans veteran running back Joe Mixon practiced again Friday, his second day in a row, and is expected to play Sunday as league sources expressed optimism he's ready for a solid workload against #Patriots, barring any unexpected setback. (Aaron Wilson on X)

FFToday's Take: Mixon hasn't played since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 2. His return will make Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale unplayable in most fantasy lineups. Dameon Pierce is also expected to be available after getting in a full practice on Thursday.


Injury Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce miss practice Thursday
Texans still struggling at RB
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Oct 3, 1:34 pm

Houston Texans
#Texans’ Joe Mixon misses second practice in a row with ankle injury, Laremy Tunsil returns to practice, Tank Dell, Jimmie Ward practice second day in a row, Dameon Pierce sidelined again @KPRC2 (Aaron Wilson on X)

FFToday's Take: Mixon was a limited participant in practice on Friday of last week but was ultimately ruled Out for Week 4. Two missed practices to begin Week 5 isn't promising for chances to play on Sunday against the Bills. If both Mixon and Pierce aren't able to play, it will once again be Cam Akers leading the backfield for the Texans. He's been underwhelming the last few weeks in the lead-back role.


Injury Joe Mixon Out for Week 4, ankle injury
Cam Akers expected to start
By: Mike Krueger | Sun Sep 29, 10:18 am

Houston Texans
Source: #Texans RB Joe Mixon will be OUT today vs the #Jaguars due to his ankle injury. Mixon tested it this morning, and while he's feeling better, everyone agreed to take the safe route and give him another week. (Jordan Schultz on X)

FFToday's Take: Mixon got in a limited session on Friday but needs another week to get healthy. With Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also out, it will be Cam Akers at running back for the Texans against the Jaguars today. Akers got 10 touches in a similar role last week against the Vikings. He's a Flex option in a much better matchup.


Injury Tank Dell unlikely to play in Week 4
Missed practice Thursday, ribs
By: Mike Krueger | Thu Sep 26, 1:34 pm

Houston Texans
#Texans’ Tank Dell managing pain of bruised ribs, unlikely to play against Jaguars; Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce still sidelined @KPRC2 (Aaron Wilson on X)

FFToday's Take: Dell has missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday due to a rib injury. If he misses Week 4 against Jacksonville, expect more receiving production from Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and TE Dalton Schultz. Cam Akers is trending to get another start as well.


Injury Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce miss practice Wednesday
Cam Akers prepping for increased role in Week 3
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Sep 18, 1:57 pm

Houston Texans
Texans running back Cam Akers, with Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce sidelined, preps for increased role against his former team #Vikings @KPRC2 (Aaron Wilson on X)

FFToday's Take: Mixon injured his ankle in Week 2, came back into the game, the left again. With Pierce battling a hamstring injury, we could see Cam Akers get the start in Week 3 against the Vikings. Stay tuned as we'll learn more as the week goes on.


Injury Joe Mixon ready to roll
Missed most of the preseason with a quad injury
By: Doug Orth | Tue Sep 3, 11:00 pm

Houston Texans
Texans Pro Bowl RB Joe Mixon missed the majority of the preseason with a quadriceps injury and was held out of all of the games. Mixon is fully healthy now and displayed explosiveness during a joint practice session with the Los Angeles Rams. Signed to a three-year, $27 million extension after an offseason trade from the Cincinnati Bengals, Mixon is expected to have a heavy workload as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. “Joe will be Joe,” HC DeMeco Ryans said. “Joe will be doing what he’s done his entire career. I don’t think you’ll see anything different. He’s a strong, physical back. He’s going to get yards. So, I’m excited about seeing Joe run the ball behind our offensive line.” (KPRC - Aaron Wilson)

FFToday's Take: It remains to be seen how productive Mixon will be in Houston after an inefficient back for most of his time in Cincinnati. With that said, Mixon should see the lion's share of backfield touches with Cam Akers (multiple Achilles injuries) and Dameon Pierce (bad fit for OC Bobby Slowik's offense) unlikely to convince the Texans to spread the workload. Consider Mixon a volume-based RB2 with occasional RB1 upside in what should be a high-scoring offense this season.
