Texans OC calls RB Joe Mixon a 'workhorse'

The Coachspeak Index on X

Jul 22 · 9:09 AM EDT

Texans OC Bobby Slowik called RB Joe Mixon a "workhorse" in every regard.

Fantasy Impact:

Smith had nothing but good things to say about Mixon in this clip. He said he was "fun to coach" and he would love to be used as a passing threat, a blocker, as a decoy or running the ball. He added Mixon knows what it takes to win. If you're high on Mixon this year, he's currently 17th in our RB rankings, coming off the board in the fourth round, so you'll certainly get your chance.

Bengals don't release Joe Mixon, trade him to Texans

Mar 12 · 11:42 AM EDT

Plot twist: The Bengals are now trading Joe Mixon to the Texans, rather than releasing him. So Zack Moss signs in Cincy, Mixon is traded to Houston. From Joe Burrow to C.J. Stroud.

Related Players: Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

Dameon Pierce has been woefully inefficient with his touches during his first two seasons in Houston, which led to Devin Singletary snatching his job away from him last year. He is unlikely to get in the way of Mixon taking over the majority of the workload. This is a best-possible-scenario for Mixon after leaving the Bengals and brings him right back into fantasy relevance as a pass-catcher on a great offense.

Bengals sign RB Zack Moss, cut Joe Mixon

It's the end of an era in Cincinnati, where Joe Mixon spent seven seasons, ran for 49 touchdowns, and was part of a Super Bowl team. Now, both sides move on, with Zack Moss joining the Bengals and Mixon headed to free agency.

Related Players: Chase Brown

Fantasy Impact:

The Bengals looked like they would prefer a committee approach towards the end of last season, and that's likely what is going to happen heading into 2024, with Moss operating as the main piece. He won't have the upside of Mixon because of that usage, but he should still be considered a top-25 option, with Brown a little bit behind that.

Bengals designate RB Chase Brown for return

The Bengals have cleared RB Chase Brown to practice by designating him for return from IR.

They also signed QB Drew Plitt to the practice squad and placed OL Jaxson Kirkland on the Practice Squad Injured list.

Related players: Joe Mixon, Trayveon Williams, Chris Evans, Chase Brown

Fantasy Impact:

While normally this may not be all that important of a story in terms of fantasy, the Bengals sit at 5-5 and just lost franchise QB Joe Burrow for the remainder of the season. It's possible the Bengals see what they have in some of their younger players, and this could be especially be true at the RB position where the team has some youth behind Mixon - who is 27 but getting up there in age in terms of RBs. Brown may be worth a stash in deeper leagues.
