Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Jahmyr Gibbs

Sunday, December 1, 4:46 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon bounced back from a season-worst day last week by going for 101 yards on 20 carries and also catching four passes for 18 yards in a 23-20 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday. The veteran back was efficient on the ground after a slow start, and continued being a major asset as a runner who catches passes and gets red zone work. His six targets were second on the team, and his seven-yard touchdown marked the seventh time in eight weeks that he found the end zone. Mixon should continue being a fantasy lineup staple after the Texans take their bye in Week 14.

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs turned in a mediocre fantasy output during the team's 23-20 win over the Chicago Bears in Week 13. Gibbs managed nine carries for 87 rushing yards, including several chunk gains, and added two receptions for 17 yards in the passing game. Despite his strong production, Gibbs' fantasy performance was dampened by a costly fumble and his inability to reach the end zone. The Lions will look to lean on Gibbs' explosiveness in their upcoming Week 14 Thursday Night Football showdown against the Green Bay Packers.
