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.

Carolina Panthers rookie running back Jonathon Brooks saw more snaps and opportunities in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Panthers continue to ease him into their game plans. The Texas product carried the ball six times for 18 yards but did more damage in the receiving game, garnering three receptions for 23 yards. While it was starting to look doubtful that Brooks would bring any fantasy relevance this year, it now seems possible that he can make an impact in the waning weeks of the season. With Carolina taking on a tough Philadelphia defense next week, Brooks' usage compared to Chuba Hubbard will be something to watch.
