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.

De'Von Achane News
Friday, June 26, 12:46 PM
Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (shoulder) put together an all-world season in 2025, recording 1,838 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 305 touches across 16 games. Even with the rest of the Miami offense crumbling around him, Achane led the NFL in yards per carry (5.7) and recorded 67 catches for 488 yards and four touchdowns on 85 targets. The Dolphins overhauled their coaching staff, quarterback room, and wide receiver room over the offseason, leading to speculation that Achane might have been on the trade block. Instead, Miami inked Achane to a four-year contract extension, cementing him as one of the team's building blocks as it enters a new era. The 24-year-old is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, but should be ready to go for the start of 2026. Even with the uncertain offensive environment around him in Miami, Achane should be viewed as an elite running back option in dynasty formats.
