Joe Mixon News
Tuesday, April 14, 6:00 AM
When he last took the field, free agent running back Joe Mixon was able to turn 20 touches into exactly 100 yards and a touchdown. Unfortunately, that came 15 months ago in a divisional playoff loss that ended the Texans' 2024 campaign. A mysterious offseason foot injury sustained outside the team facility cost Mixon the entire 2025 season, and he was released prior to the start of the new league year. Because so little information was provided about the injury, dynasty managers are left in a precarious position. The soon-to-be-30-year-old Mixon has become a frustrating hold, as the potential value he could bring by latching on with an NFL team after the draft still outweighs much of what can be found on the dynasty waiver wire. Should a depth-seeking contender offer a late fourth-round pick, he'd be an easy sell, but even that kind of offer would likely require an update to his status or sorts, and as fantasy managers have come to realize all too well, waiting on a Mixon status update has become a patient man's game.

Rashee Rice News
Friday, April 3, 3:45 PM
The NFL concluded on Friday that Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice "has not engaged in conduct that violates the personal-conduct policy," according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The investigation into accusations from his former girlfriend is now closed, and there will be no discipline from the league at this time. "Mr. Rice wants to thank the NFL for their thorough investigation, and looks forward to the start of the 2026-27 NFL season," Rice's attorney, Sean Lindsey, said in a statement. The 25-year-old Rice is no stranger to bad off-the-field publicity, as he was suspended for the first six games in 2025 due to a high-speed hit-and-run incident in Dallas. The former second-rounder in 2023 out of SMU caught 53 of his 78 targets for 571 yards and five touchdowns in his eight games played in 2025 before suffering a concussion in Week 15 and missing the final two games. The Chiefs can't be happy with Rice's choices off the field, but with no discipline affecting his fantasy value in 2026, he should have a pretty high ceiling as KC's WR1. Rice had a 79-102-7 line in 16 games in his rookie campaign, but he's played only 12 games since due to injuries and suspension.
