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.

TreVeyon Henderson News
Wednesday, June 17, 8:37 AM
New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson flashed explosive upside as a rookie in 2025, finishing the year with 1,132 scrimmage yards and 10 touchdowns on 215 touches across 17 games (four starts). Henderson averaged over five yards per carry and also excelled as a kick returner, demonstrating his big-play ability in the open field. However, Henderson was unable to fully seize the Patriots' RB1 role away from veteran Rhamondre Stevenson, whom the team trusted more as a downhill runner between the tackles. Stevenson remains under contract with New England through 2028, which brings some degree of uncertainty to Henderson's workload upside with the Patriots. Still, Henderson is clearly the higher-upside back between the two and could have a superstar ceiling if he can make modest improvements as a pass-protector and short-yardage rusher. Henderson is currently valued as a low-end RB2 in redraft formats, which could be a steal for fantasy managers in 2026.
