More Clarity on Joe Mixon's 2025 Availability Coming Over the Next Few Weeks?

Tuesday, October 7, 11:41 AM

Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said the team will have clarity on running back Joe Mixon's (foot/ankle) health status for the "duration of the year" at some point "over the next few weeks." Mixon has not played yet in 2025, and the team has provided little to no information about a possible return timeline. It seems possible, if not likely, that the 29-year-old will miss the entirety of the season. If that's the case, Houston will likely continue splitting backfield work between veteran Nick Chubb and rookie Woody Marks. Chubb has recorded 58 carries for 249 yards and two touchdowns so far this season. Marks has logged 233 yards from scrimmage and two touchdowns on 42 total touches, and could eventually work his way into the lead role over the course of the season.

Rhamondre Stevenson Could Excel with Favorable Game Script in Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 12:24 PM

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson could see a large workload again in Week 7. The Patriots are facing off against the Tennessee Titans, which means the Patriots could enjoy a positive game script and therefore run the ball quite often. That would be good news for Stevenson, who has a slight edge on the lead-back role in New England despite some fumbling issues. Volume is just half the battle, though. Stevenson has struggled with efficiency at times this year, including last week when he had 13 carries for 18 yards (1.4 YPC). Fortunately for him, the Titans have been worn down by the run, allowing 4.7 YPC and the third-most fantasy points to running backs in 2025. With such a favorable matchup headed his way, Stevenson ranks as an RB3/flex.
