Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Malik Nabers

Saturday, December 21, 4:15 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon compiled 71 total yards with no touchdowns in a 27-19 defeat at Kansas City on Saturday. The first-year Texan had a decent day on the ground against a strong Chiefs run defense, compiling 57 yards on 14 carries, but wasn't involved much as a receiver, drawing just two targets for one catch and 14 yards. The veteran has now gone back-to-back weeks without a score after compiling 11 touchdowns in the prior eight games. Mixon and the Texans will be back in action in short order, taking on the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day.

New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (knee, foot) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 16 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The rookie wideout was limited to start the week and end it, but will suit up this weekend. Possibly, the Giants were just giving the 21-year-old some extra rest considering he's dealing with a few lingering issues. Quarterback Drew Lock (heel, elbow) has been cleared as well, so that should increase Nabers' fantasy value. Nabers hauled in 10 receptions for 82 yards and a touchdown last week. Fantasy managers can go ahead and plug Nabers in as a WR2 for a plus-matchup against the Falcons secondary.
