Joe Mixon News
Tuesday, March 24, 9:09 PM
Free-agent running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) remains unsigned deep into March. The Texans recently released Mixon after one of the most confusing seasons in recent memory. Mixon's timetable for returning from an undisclosed injury kept getting pushed back, and the team never provided any clarity on why he wasn't able to play. Ultimately, the veteran running back finished the season with zero snaps, making his 2025 season certainly one to forget. Being released is never ideal, but this could be a blessing in disguise for Mixon if he signs elsewhere and contributes in the backfield. After all, he's less than two years removed from an elite 2024 campaign in which he posted 1,325 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns. Even partially returning to that form would get Mixon back on the fantasy radar as an RB3/flex or higher. However, his fantasy outlook is somewhat meaningless as long as he's a free agent.

De'Von Achane News
Monday, March 30, 6:42 PM
Miami Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan called running back De'Von Achane one of the "three pillars" as a player he wants to build around and lock in on a contract extension, according to David Furones of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. Sullivan went on to say at the NFL owners meetings that he's not looking to trade Achane. Rumors circulated that Achane might be on the move this offseason after the new front office already cut both quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and receiver Tyreek Hill (knee) and traded Jaylen Waddle to the Denver Broncos. Achane, 24, apparently isn't going anywhere and will be part of the rebuild in South Beach. The former third-rounder in 2023 out of Texas A&M is one of the most explosive dual-threat backs in the NFL, and volume certainly won't be an issue as the only real reliable offensive threat for new quarterback Malik Willis. Achane is coming off his first 1,000-yard rushing season with 12 total touchdowns. He's a clear RB1 on volume alone, but his ceiling could be limited in what figures to be an inconsistent Miami offense.
