Texans RB Joe Mixon to get MRI on ankle

Sep 16, 2024

Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Joe Mixon is getting an MRI on his ankle.

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon was able to return to Sunday night’s game after hurting his ankle, but there’s enough concern about the injury for Mixon to go for tests on Monday, the story went on to say. While it was good news he was able to return, Mixon owners may want to backup their RB if they haven't already. Pierce was the team's RB1 before Mixon was signed and should be up next if Mixon would have to miss time. Ogunbowale is more of the pass-catching back. Akers had a nice preseason and looks to be healthy again and could factor in as well.

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
