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.
The Texans placed WR Nico Collins on IR. That knocks him out for at least the next four games vs. the Patriots, Packers, Colts, and Jets. Collins will be eligible to return for Week 10's game against the Lions. "While hamstrings can be tricky, the belief is that Nico Collins will be back sooner, rather than later," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweets.
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.
When addressing WR Nico Collins' injury on Monday, Texans HC Demeco Ryans said, "it takes a couple of weeks for a hamstring, so we'll evaluate that on a week-to-week basis." It's not exactly a concrete timetable for Collins' return, but it sounds like the Texans are bracing for a potential multi-game absence. We'll keep an eye on Collins this week, but fantasy owners should at least prepare to be without him for this Sunday's game vs. the Patriots. Collins' absence would leave behind a ton of opportunity for WRs Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell. Xavier Hutchinson stepped in as Houston's No. 3 WR in the second half of last week's game but would be a desperation fantasy play.
The Texans consider WR Nico Collins "day to day" with the hamstring injury that knocked him out of Sunday's game vs. the Bills, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. It sounds like Collins avoided a significant injury, although we'd still consider him iffy for Week 6's meeting with the Patriots. We'll keep you updated on Collins' status throughout this week. WRs Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell will get rankings boosts with Collins misses more time.
Texans WR Tank Dell caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Sunday's win over the Bills. He also carried once for a loss of five yards. The quiet outing was even more disappointing considering WR Nico Collins missed the entire second half with a hamstring injury. Dell ranked just fourth on the Texans in targets with a 10.5% share.
Texans WR Nico Collins is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Bills with a leg injury. His last play was a 67-yard TD. Collins made his way back to the locker room under his own power. We'll update his status when we know more.
Update: Collins has a hamstring injury.
Update: Collins has been ruled out.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is inactive for today's game vs. the Bills. That again leaves the backfield to Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, and J.J. Taylor. Akers figures to lead in touches but ceded carries to Taylor and passing-down snaps to Ogunbowale last week.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) is not expected to play vs. the Bills today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pierce just returned to a limited practice on Friday after missing the last three games, so it's no surprise that he's not ready yet. With RB Joe Mixon (ankle) also out, Houston will again roll with RBs Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, and J.J. Taylor.
Texans WR Tank Dell (chest) is not listed on the final Week 5 injury report. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so he should be ready for a full slate of snaps vs. the Bills this weekend.
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.
Texans WR Tank Dell (chest) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We're tentatively projecting him to play vs. the Bills this weekend but will keep you updated on his progress leading up to that one.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. That's a disappointing start to the week after he put in a limited practice last Friday. Perhaps Houston is just giving him some early-week rest, but Mixon's availability for Sunday's game vs. the Bills remains uncertain. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) also missed Wednesday's practice.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. He returned to a limited practice on Friday, which should put him on track to play in Week 5. His absence today – along with RB Dameon Pierce’s – leaves Cam Akers as Houston’s lead back again. He’ll lose passing-down snaps to RB Dare Ogunbowale but is a serviceable RB3 or Flex play with the Texans 5.5-point home favorites.
Joe Mixon will not play against the Jaguars today. He feels good, but the Texans are giving him another week off to ensure he is fully recovered from his ankle injury. RB Cam Akers will be the starter with RB Dameon Pierce also out for another week.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is a game-time decision for today's tilt with the Jaguars, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mixon only got in a limited practice on Friday. Mixon "has worked hard to be back and even though it seems to be an uphill climb to play, he hasn't given up trying. He'll test it out," Rapoport tweeted. That sounds like Mixon is on the wrong side of 50/50 to play against Jacksonville. We still have him projected out as of now but will adjust the RB Rankings if Mixon ends up active.
Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. He put in a limited practice on Friday after sitting out the previous two days. That gives Mixon a shot to play on Sunday, although we're still projecting him to miss as of now. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out, leaving RB Cam Akers as Houston's lead back if Mixon sits.
Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is not listed on the final Week 4 injury report. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday but put in a full workout on Friday. Collins should be ready for his usual role in Sunday's plus matchup vs. the Jaguars.
