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.

Jakobi Meyers News
Tuesday, March 24, 5:52 AM
After a mid-season trade sent wide receiver Jakobi Meyers from the Raiders to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the seventh-year wideout played the final eight games of the year on a full-season pace of 83 receptions for 939 yards and six touchdowns, numbers that would have all led the team in 2025. With a full team offseason under his belt, Meyers will enter 2026 with a realistic shot of becoming the go-to receiver in one of the league's most ambiguous rooms. Following the trade, Jacksonville locked up Meyers with a three-year extension, and while the team has denied floating Brian Thomas Jr.'s name in recent trade talks, rumors that he still might be moved refuse to go away. 2025 second overall pick Travis Hunter is expected to spend more time on the defensive side of the ball in his second season, and while Parker Washington offers more upside potential, Meyers is likely the safest bet to lead the team in targets in 2026.
