Texans RB Joe Mixon expected to miss Week 5

Ian Rapoport

Oct 04 · 10:43 AM EDT

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.

Texans RB Joe Mixon misses another practice

Texans RB Joe Mixon did not practice again today due to his sprained ankle.

Related Players: Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce, Cam Akers

Fantasy Impact:

It seemed as if Mixon was trending toward playing in Week 5, but he and Pierce still look like they'll be questionable. 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.

Texans RBs Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce not practicing on Thursday

Aaron Wilson

Texans’ Tank Dell managing pain of bruised ribs, unlikely to play against Jaguars; Joe Mixon, Dameon Pierce still sidelined.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale

Fantasy Impact:

Akers got most of the RB load in Week 3 but in a game where they were playing from behind, that equated to only nine rush attempts. He should get more run against the Patriots if Mixon and Pierce miss, making him a fringe RB2/3.

Texans RB Joe Mixon still "week to week", Dameon Pierce expected to return

Aaron Wilson

Sep 25 · 1:01 PM EDT

Positive development for Texans running game as Dameon Pierce is expected to return this week, per league sources, from a strained hamstring that sidelined him the past two games. #Texans starter Joe Mixon still regarded as week to week with ankle injury, per sources

Related Players: Cam Akers

Fantasy Impact:

Akers found the end zone on a receiving touchdown last week but was ineffective in all other areas of the field. After a 9-21 performance, his yards per carry are down to 3.31 and he has a fumble to his name. This is likely to be a rotation in Week 4, with plodding Pierce liable to take a little more of the action. It's a stay-away situation until Mixon returns.
