Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Kenneth Walker III

Monday, October 27, 2:56 PM

In what is becoming part of his weekly routine, Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans told reporters on Monday that he has no update on the injury status of Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon (foot). Mixon has been on the team's NFI list since the beginning of training camp after injuring his ankle/foot during a spring workout. More than halfway through the fantasy football regular season, managers who have kept him stashed on IR are potentially weighing their options as injuries continue to mount around the league. With the emergence of rookie Woody Marks and the loudening rumors that Mixon could miss the entirety of the season, he should no longer be viewed as a must-hold. At the same time, managers with the luxury of an open IR spot should monitor their own league's waivers, as he's dropped in more leagues each week.

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III has been a fantasy disappointment this season; however, Walker could deliver flex value in Week 10 against the Arizona Cardinals. Arizona has a good-but-not-great defense this season. Walker already carved them up to the tune of 110 total yards in Week 4. Walker has been held in check since then, never topping 9.6 PPR fantasy points. Still, Walker is consistently receiving double-digit opportunities. It is only a matter of time before he breaks off a big run. Seattle's offense is in a serious rhythm at the moment. They are throwing the ball extremely effectively, but they could improve on the ground. Look for Walker to have a bit of a bounce-back game this week to get the Seahawks' running game going again. If you need a flex play with upside, Walker could be your man in Week 10.
