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.

D'Andre Swift News
Saturday, June 13, 12:21 PM
Across 16 games in 2025, Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift recorded 1,386 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 257 touches. Swift has been one of the NFL's more consistent backs in recent years, as he's now logged three consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played, 250 touches, and 1,260 yards from scrimmage. However, Swift's usage in Chicago declined a bit down the stretch of the 2025 season thanks to the emergence of Bears running back Kyle Monangai. From Week 11 through Week 18, neither Swift nor Monangai played more than 60% or fewer than 40% of Chicago's offensive snaps. Entering 2026, the two backs appear set to both play significant roles in the Bears' offense. With Swift entering his age-27 season and the final year of his current contract, Monangai may profile as the future of the running back position in Chicago. In dynasty formats, managers may want to explore selling high on Swift ahead of a possible production decline in 2026.
