Joe Mixon News
Thursday, July 23, 6:42 AM
Joe Mixon's NFL career has come to an end, according to Texans beat reporter Aaron Wilson. With teams around the league reconvening for the start of training camps, some of the still-unsigned veteran free agents could soon be presented with opportunities to find a new home, but Mixon has reportedly informed former teammates that he has taken his last professional snap. After a successful first season with the Texans, Mixon sustained a curious foot injury in the 2025 offseason that cost him the entire season and led to his release in March. Very few details have since emerged about the ailment that was first speculated to be related to the ankle injury that caused him to miss time in 2024 but was officially designated a non-football injury. Thursday's report brings closure to what has been one of the stranger stories in the NFL over the past year-plus.

David Montgomery News
Friday, September 25, 5:11 PM
Houston Texans running back David Montgomery put together a huge fantasy day in Week 1, scoring three touchdowns against the Buffalo Bills. However, the 29-year-old was unable to get anything going in his team's Week 2 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, rushing for 10 yards on six carries and recording two catches for 14 yards. While Montgomery's three touchdowns prop up his overall stat line, he's averaged just 2.7 yards per carry while rushing behind a struggling Texans' offensive line. Perhaps most concerningly for fantasy managers, Houston has split its backfield snaps almost exactly evenly between Montgomery and second-year back Woody Marks. If that continues, Montgomery will likely be highly reliant on touchdowns for fantasy production. Heading into Week 3, Montgomery's status as a no-doubt top-24 running back looks a little less certain.
