Who Should I Start? Antonio Brown or Joe Mixon

Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio reports that former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown has fled the United States while evading a warrant for an attempted murder charge. The incident stems from a shooting outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami on May 16, in which he claimed he was the victim of an assault. However, it's alleged that Brown "punched a man during a brawl, then grabbed a firearm from a security officer and fired two shots as he chased the same individual." Anything the former wideout says at this point must be taken with a grain of salt. However, if he's being truthful, the warrant for his arrest won't be resolved anytime soon.

The Houston Texans have been worringly vague when providing updates on the status of running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot), who did not participate in any team offseason activities while recovering from an ankle/foot injury. Mixon was placed on the non-football injury list before the start of the regular season, meaning his earliest possible return date is Week 5 against the Baltimore Ravens. However, it appears as though Mixon will likely be out significantly longer and could even miss the entirety of 2025. The 29-year-old was a huge piece of Houston's offense in 2024, totaling 1,325 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns in 14 games. In Mixon's absence so far, the Texans have turned to veteran running back Nick Chubb, who has 103 rushing yards and a touchdown on 25 carries through the team's first two games. Mixon may be worth stashing in an IR spot for fantasy managers, but the lack of updates from the team is a concerning sign.
