Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Chase Brown

Sunday, December 1, 4:46 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon bounced back from a season-worst day last week by going for 101 yards on 20 carries and also catching four passes for 18 yards in a 23-20 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday. The veteran back was efficient on the ground after a slow start, and continued being a major asset as a runner who catches passes and gets red zone work. His six targets were second on the team, and his seven-yard touchdown marked the seventh time in eight weeks that he found the end zone. Mixon should continue being a fantasy lineup staple after the Texans take their bye in Week 14.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown ran for 70 yards and a touchdown off 12 carries in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. He also caught all three targets for 30 yards. The 24-year-old had another quality fantasy performance against a tough Steelers defense. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough to lead the Bengals to a much-needed win. With at least one trip to the end zone in seven of his last nine appearances, Brown has a chance to keep it going versus a Cowboys defense that has allowed 14 rushing touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, the worst in the National Football League.
