Joe Mixon News
Saturday, June 13, 12:45 PM
With less than three months remaining before the start of the 2026 NFL season, veteran running back Joe Mixon is currently unsigned. Mixon missed the entirety of 2025 with a mysterious foot/ankle injury and was released by the Houston Texans in March. Mixon was a productive player as recently as 2024, recording 1,325 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 281 touches across 14 games with Houston. However, his current health status remains an open question, and he will also turn 30 years old this July. At this point, it seems possible that Mixon's NFL career might be over. Even if he latches on somewhere before the start of 2026, he will likely be in a complementary role. Given the circumstances, dynasty managers are probably safe to move on from Mixon.

CeeDee Lamb News
Tuesday, June 9, 8:59 AM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb saw a decline in his production in 2025, missing three games with an ankle injury and finishing the year with 75 catches for 1,077 yards and three touchdowns on 117 targets. After averaging 10.1 targets per game in 2024, Lamb saw 8.4 targets per game in his first season playing alongside Cowboys wideout George Pickens in 2025. While Pickens' presence could limit Lamb's target upside again in 2026, improved health from Lamb could be the difference in him bouncing back this upcoming season. Additionally, Pickens' long-term future in Dallas is an open question, given that he is currently signed to the franchise tag and is agitating for a contract extension. Lamb is still valued as a WR1 in the majority of dynasty formats, but his stock has fallen a bit after his underwhelming 2025 campaign. As he enters his age-27 season, Lamb should have every opportunity to re-establish himself as one of the elite wide receivers in fantasy football. Fantasy managers should explore buy-low scenarios for Lamb to see if they can acquire him for a relative bargain ahead of 2026.
