Texans WR Stefon Diggs (knee) not expected to play Week 9

CBS Sports

Oct 28 · 9:32 PM EDT

The Houston Texans offense was already shorthanded at wide receiver with Nico Collins on injured reserve, and now it seems like they'll be down another key outlet for C.J. Stroud. Wideout Stefon Diggs suffered a non-contact knee injury during Sunday's Week 8 win over the Indianapolis Colts and is not expected to play when the team travels to New York to play the Jets, according to NFL Media.

Fantasy Impact:

This is a tight turnaround for Diggs as the Texans open up Week 9 on Thursday night, which makes a possible return to the field difficult, even if the injury isn't as serious as it looked on the field, the story said. The team did not practice Monday, but the initial injury report of the week -- albeit a projection -- notes that Diggs would've been a nonparticipant, the story went on to say. With no Collins and Diggs, Dell looks like he could be the top WR target against the Jets. Schultz and Mixon could also get more involved in the passing game.

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.

Potential good news for the Texans: QB C.J. Stroud, in the NFL's concussion protocol, is expected to practice today. Coach DeMeco Ryans told Stacey Dales on Sunday that Stroud had been in meetings on Friday. "He's definitely making progress." This would be more progress.

Related Players: Case Keenum

Fantasy Impact:

This would be fantastic news for Texans skill position players and would also put Stroud back on the map as a top-12 option. We'll keep an eye on his progress throughout the rest of the week.
