Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Raheem Mostert

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio spoke on Tuesday about running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot), saying that "it's a very gray situation." There have been very few updates in regards to Mixon's recovery process, and the ones we have gotten have not been positive. It's looking increasingly unlikely that Mixon will be able to return in 2025. Caserio went on to say that there were times when the 29-year-old was making progress and other times when the progress stalled. As we are already in Week 12, there aren't any expectations for Mixon to come back after being placed on the Non-Football Injury list in the offseason. The Texans will continue to rely on veteran Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks in the meantime.

Las Vegas Raiders running back Raheem Mostert has worked strictly as a backup this season. Through five games, he has logged 16 carries for 80 yards and added three receptions for 27 yards. With rookie Ashton Jeanty leading the backfield, Mostert has been limited to just a 24% snap share. The matchup doesn't help in Week 10, as Denver is allowing the fifth-fewest fantasy points to running backs. Mostert holds value only as Jeanty's handcuff and on kick returns, but he should remain on waivers in all fantasy formats for now.
