		| Joe Mixon turns 29 this summer but continues playing at a high level. An injury kept him out of three of Houston's first five games. But upon his return to the lineup in Week 6, he scored 10 total TDs over the next six games. The RB2 price that fantasy managers paid in 2024 was paying off. But he finished the season with a dud as the entire offense cratered to an anemic level, scoring only once the rest of the season. 
 Once again, Mixon enters draft season as an RB2. It's a lot to ask of a 29-year-old RB to continue playing at a consistently high level. Personally, I'm not a fan of relying on RBs at that age, especially having to use a premium draft pick to get them. And as mentioned above, the Texans have a leaky O-line that's ranked in the bottom-third of the league. Now throw in the fact that the team signed RB Nick Chubb, who is also 29 years old, and you have the makings of a season that falls short of expectations for Mixon. His production history says yes, draft him. But his age and other conditions beyond his control say let someone else draft him. Either way, you should have guarded optimism when it comes to Joe Mixon.

		| |  Joe Mixon headed to NFI list RB to miss at least first four games with ankle issue
 By:  Doug Orth | Tue Aug 26, 9:30 pm
 
  
 |   |  | Texans are not activating RB Joe Mixon by Tuesday’s 4 pm ET deadline, making him ineligible to play at least the first four games this season due to an ankle injury.  
Mixon will be moved to Reserve/Non-Football Injury, which automatically rules him out for at least four games. (ESPN - Adam Schefter) 
 FFToday's Take: By all accounts, Mixon did not participate in OTAs or has not practiced at all since the team reported to training camp. At this point, it would be shocking if he is ready to practice - much less play - by Week 5. Fantasy managers should not expect Mixon to contribute in a meaningful way until at least Week 8 - especially considering he has likely done little more than take mental reps in new OC Nick Caley's offense. Nick Chubb and Dameon Pierce - assuming the latter is not cut on Tuesday - is expected to handle most of the early-down work, while rookie Woody Marks should take most of the work in the passing game.
