Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.
Texans RB Joe Mixon had his way with the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. He ran 20 times for 109 yards and three TDs while also adding two catches for 44 yards. He has been a Fantasy MVP since returning from his ankle injury.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (groin) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Lions. He’ll be replaced again by RB J.J. Taylor, who is not a fantasy option. RB Joe Mixon should be in for another big workload.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (groin) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Jets. He's carried just 11 times over the past three weeks with RB Joe Mixon back, including three carries over the last two games, so there's little fantasy impact here. Mixon already projected to be super busy against the run-funnel Jets.
A week after he made a strong return from a hamstring injury with 132 total yards and 2 TDs against the Patriots, Texans RB Joe Mixon accounted for most of the offense in Sunday's narrow loss at Green Bay. He ran for 115 yards and 2 TDs on 25 carries (89.3% of the team RB total) and caught two passes for 9 yards. Even that low reception total ranked second on the team for the game. Mixon's 124 total yards constituted 63% of Houston's total net yardage against the Packers.
Texans RB Joe Mixon returned from his ankle injury with a big game rushing 13 times for 102 yards and a TD. He also caught 2 of 3 targets for 30 yards including a second TD. Mixon took 13 of the 25 RB touches in the game due to the blowout
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Patriots. He’s been out since Week 2 and got in just two limited practices this week. That adds obvious risk to Mixon’s profile, although he’s still worth starting for many fantasy teams. See where Mixon sits in the Week 6 Rankings.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Patriots today. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable. We're projecting Mixon's workload to be scaled back a bit in his first action since Week 2, but he still checks in 15th among RBs in the Week 6 Rankings.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Patriots. He put in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and is expected to play, according to insider Aaron Wilson. We’d expect Mixon’s volume to be scaled back at least a little in his first action since Week 2. But he still checks in as a top-15 RB play in the Week 6 Rankings.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) put in a limited practice on Thursday -- his first since the Friday before Week 4. It gives Mixon a chance to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, although Houston has wisely been cautious with this injury. We'll see how Mixon is listed on Friday's final injury report.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice. HC Demeco Ryans labeled him "week to week" on Monday, so fantasy owners should not be expecting Mixon back for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) was limited on Wednesday and is on track to return for Sunday's game. In that case, you should avoid Houston's backfield in Week 6 fantasy lineups.
Texans HC Demeco Ryans said Monday that RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is "definitely improving" but wouldn't say whether Mixon will be back for this weekend's game vs. the Patriots. Mixon returned to Friday's practice ahead of Week 4 but did not practice at all this past week, so it looks like he suffered a setback.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Bills. After returning to a limited practice last Friday, he didn't take the field at all this week. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) put in a limited practice on Friday, his first since going down in Week 1. He's listed as questionable to face Buffalo. We're not expecting Pierce to play, but if he does, this will be a stay-away backfield in fantasy lineups. Cam Akers will be in the RB3 mix if Pierce ends up inactive.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is not expected to play vs. the Bills this weekend, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mixon was limited in practice last Friday but has missed the first two practices of this week. So it looks like he suffered a setback.
