Texans RB Joe Mixon returns to practice Thursday

Oct 10, 2024

Texans RB Joe Mixon is practicing today. He’s back.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

This is nothing concrete yet —we'll know more after Friday's practice— but it's certainly a good sign. If he's a full go for Week 6 it makes the rest of the backfield an afterthought while Mixon would be a high-end RB2 (at least) once again.

Raiders WR Davante Adams (hamstring) is not expected to play this week vs. Steelers, per sources.

Related Players: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Brock Bowers

Fantasy Impact:

No surprise here, but at least we get the news early in the week. Meyers and Bowers look to benefit the most from Adams' absence (and eventual trade) and should be considered respective WR2 and TE1s.

Texans WR Nico Collins to hit the IR

The Texans have placed WR Nico Collins, the NFL's leading receiver on Injured Reserve. He's out four games.

Related Players: Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson, Dalton Schultz

Fantasy Impact:

Hutchinson came in and basically played Collins' role for the rest of Week 5, but he is obviously not going to demand the same type of target share. He can be added in deeper leagues, but we expect Diggs, Dell, and Schultz to take a majority of the extra usage.
