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.

David Njoku News
Saturday, May 30, 8:25 AM
Los Angeles Chargers tight end David Njoku was one of the latest additions to the team, signing a one-year deal in mid-May, but he has a chance to make a legitimate fantasy impact in his tenth professional season. New Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel has found great success in recent seasons by involving his tight ends, and the room he has already helped to build in Los Angeles boasts a variety of skill sets. Free agent acquisition Charlie Kolar is one of the league's most impactful blockers, while second-year player Oronde Gadsden II flashed game-breaking athleticism as a rookie, but with Njoku being the most well-rounded of the three, he could become the most difficult to pull from the field. Coming off a down year and turning 30 before the start of training camp, he has fallen to dynasty TE26, making him a low-cost trade target. Having finished as the TE13 or better in three of the past four seasons, while playing in a low-scoring Browns offense, Njoku offers obvious short-term upside to contending managers.
