HOU RB Joe Mixon - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Dallas Cowboys

Credit the Detroit Lions for stifling the Texans' run game, namely Joe Mixon. He was held to just 46 yards on 25 carries, by far his lowest output in a full game this season -- he was injured during Houston's Week 2 game. Mixon did score a touchdown for a fifth straight week. He should bounce right back against a Dallas team that is getting consistently hurt by running games, the latest being Saquon Barkley. Mixon remains a "set it and forget it" play.

HOU RB Joe Mixon - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions

Joe Mixon just keeps on rolling. He's now posted 100 rushing yards and a touchdown in four straight games and five out of the six he has finished. Mixon has worked his way into a position where he's nearly matchup-proof, so even with facing a Lions team that is only allowing about 80 rushing yards per game, Mixon has the volume and talent to be plugging into lineups regardless this week. Mixon has averaged over four yards per carry while seeing 24-25 attempts in each of the last three weeks.

HOU RB Joe Mixon - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. New York Jets

Entering Halloween night, Joe Mixon has been very much of a treat for the Houston Texans, rushing for over 100 yards in all four games he has finished this season -- he was injured during the Week 2 game against the Bears. As the workhorse for the Texans, he has a chance almost every week to hit the century mark, just like he will Thursday night against the Jets, who are allowing over 100 yards on the ground. The defense hasn't been as vaunted as previous years. With Stefon Diggs now also out in addition to Nico Collins, Houston will rely even more so on Mixon. Keep rolling with the hot hand this week.

HOU RB Joe Mixon - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Joe Mixon is back to being the workhorse for the Texans. Mixon carried 25 times and rushed for over 100 yards for the second straight game and third time this season in last week's last-second loss to the Packers. This week, he gets the Colts for the second time this season. Mixon rushed 30 times for 159 yards and a touchdown in his Texans debut in Week 1 at Indy. Now he gets them at home. Ironically, all three of his 100-yard games have come on the road (Colts, Patriots, Packers). Mixon is near the top of the board this week at the running back position.

HOU RB Joe Mixon - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Green Bay Packers

Joe Mixon returned from injury last week and posted his second 100-yard rushing game in three games played, going for 102 and a touchdown against the Patriots. Mixon has now played two full games -- he got injured during the Week 2 game against Chicago -- and has 100+ yards and a touchdown in both. He does face a tough matchup against a top-ten rushing defense in Green Bay, but Mixon should start climbing back into being a workhorse now that he's full healthy again. Keep Mixon as a solid RB2 this week with upside.

HOU RB Joe Mixon - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at New England Patriots

Joe Mixon could be returning this week from a Week 2 ankle injury. If he does, he'll face a Patriots defense that ranks 13th in rushing yards allowed per game. It will be interesting to see how much Houston runs him coming off an injury, but if his early-season work is any indication (30 carries), he'll be the workhorse in Houston. He's a solid RB2 this week.

HOU RB Joe Mixon - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Chicago Bears

Quite the debut in Houston for Joe Mixon. 159 yards and a touchdown on 30 carries. That includes 115 yards after contact. He'll have a chance for more this week after Chicago allowed over 100 yards combined between Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears last week against the Titans. The Texans have already shown an improved offensive line which will only mean Mixon's good fortunes should continue throughout the season. He;s a solid RB2 this week.
