Texans RB Joe Mixon expected to miss Week 5

Oct 04, 2024

Texans RB Joe Mixon, who missed both practices thus far this week, is not expected to play Sunday. That means the duo of Cam Akers (4.1 yards per rush) and Dare Ogunbowale (game-winning TD) once again.

Fantasy Impact:

It seemed as if Mixon was trending toward playing in Week 5, but he and Dameon Pierce look like they're out. In that case, we're lining up for another Akers week, which would put him in the RB2 radar against a Bills defense that has been gashed by the run through the first month of the season.

Giants WR Malik Nabers "seems like a longshot" for Week 5

While Malik Nabers (concussion) seems like a longshot to be ready for Seattle, RB Devin Singletary (groin) told me he has a chance. Wednesday was the best he’s felt since the Cowboys game.

Big couple days of practice upcoming to see if he can make it for Sunday.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt

Fantasy Impact:

This would be a brutal loss to the offense in what has been a fantastic rookie season for Nabers. The whole offense would essentially be a stay-away, though Robinson should continue to be targeted in PPR leagues.

Raiders WR Davante Adams not expected to play Week 5 due to "hamstring"

Adam Schefter

Raiders WR Davante Adams is not expected to play Sunday vs. the Broncos due to his hamstring injury, per league sources.

Related Players: Brock Bowers, Tre Tucker, Jakobi Meyers

Fantasy Impact:

There's a very real chance we've seen Adams play his last snap as a Las Vegas Raider, which leaves their receiver corps as one of the worst in the league if they don't get anyone back in a potential trade.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson "good to go" for TNF

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (hamstring) is off the injury report and good to go Thursday night vs. Tampa Bay.

Related Players: Tyler Allgeier

Fantasy Impact:

Good news after Robinson missed two "expected" practices earlier in the week. If Robinson is good to go, he's good to go in your lineup but it's worthwhile to point out that Allgeier has logged a little more work on the ground (24 carries last three games) than we would have expected, so if Robinson is limited at all he could cede more rushes than usual.
