Joe Mixon News
Saturday, June 13, 12:45 PM
With less than three months remaining before the start of the 2026 NFL season, veteran running back Joe Mixon is currently unsigned. Mixon missed the entirety of 2025 with a mysterious foot/ankle injury and was released by the Houston Texans in March. Mixon was a productive player as recently as 2024, recording 1,325 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 281 touches across 14 games with Houston. However, his current health status remains an open question, and he will also turn 30 years old this July. At this point, it seems possible that Mixon's NFL career might be over. Even if he latches on somewhere before the start of 2026, he will likely be in a complementary role. Given the circumstances, dynasty managers are probably safe to move on from Mixon.

Tony Pollard News
Friday, June 26, 8:30 AM
Across 17 games in 2025, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard recorded 1,288 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns on 275 touches. The 29-year-old has been both consistent and durable in recent years, recording four consecutive seasons with at least 16 games played and 1,000 rushing yards. Pollard may also have more chances to score touchdowns in 2026 in what should be an improved Titans offense in quarterback Cam Ward's second NFL season. However, Pollard is entering his final year under contract with Tennessee in 2026. The Titans have a new coaching staff in place and a couple of younger running back options on the roster in Tyjae Spears and fifth-round rookie Nicholas Singleton. Pollard has averaged just 4.5 yards per touch over his first two seasons in Tennessee, so he's highly reliant on volume for fantasy production. In dynasty formats, managers may want to sell high on Pollard ahead of a potential workload decline in 2026.
