New Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon signed a three-year, $27 million contract extension with the team on Thursday that includes $13 million guaranteed, according to a source. The Cincinnati Bengals were set to cut Mixon for salary cap purposes earlier this week but ended up trading him to the Texans instead. Devin Singletary, Houston's primary back last year, signed with the Giants in free agency. The 27-year-old Mixon, a Pro Bowler in 2021, goes from one potent offense to another and will be the Texans' No. 1 back, giving him clear RB1 upside in fantasy. In 17 starts for Cincy in 2023, Mixon had the fourth 1,000-yard season of his career while scoring nine rushing touchdowns on 257 carries. He added 52 receptions (64 targets) for 376 yards and another three TDs.

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale (hamstring) is considered questionable for the Week 1 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The veteran back has been limited all week in practice due to a lingering hamstring issue. That being said, he could possibly be on the sideline for this game, assuming he's not better by Sunday. His absence won't have much of an impact in the backfield. Ogunbowale is fourth on the depth chart and is mainly a special teams player right now. Sometimes, Ogunbowale is mixed into passing downs, so Devin Singletary and Dameon Pierce could see an uptick in value if Ogunbowale is unable to play.
