No Touchdowns, 71 Total Yards For Joe Mixon At Chiefs

Saturday, December 21, 4:15 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon compiled 71 total yards with no touchdowns in a 27-19 defeat at Kansas City on Saturday. The first-year Texan had a decent day on the ground against a strong Chiefs run defense, compiling 57 yards on 14 carries, but wasn't involved much as a receiver, drawing just two targets for one catch and 14 yards. The veteran has now gone back-to-back weeks without a score after compiling 11 touchdowns in the prior eight games. Mixon and the Texans will be back in action in short order, taking on the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.

Alvin Kamara Ruled Out For Week 16

Saturday, December 21, 4:28 PM

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) has been ruled out by the team for Week 16's game at Green Bay. Kamara will miss the matchup with the Packers this week and look to rebound to be available for Week 17 against Las Vegas. Kendre Miller will be the lead back for the Saints in Week 16. Kamara has 228 rushes for 950 rushing yards and six rushing TDs this season. He also has 68 catches for 543 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns this year. He has been one of the most productive fantasy running backs this season so his absence is a crushing blow for the fantasy playoffs. Miller has a decent matchup in Week 16 and looks like a must-add waiver-wire option for fantasy managers.
