Joe Mixon News
Tuesday, March 24, 9:09 PM
Free-agent running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) remains unsigned deep into March. The Texans recently released Mixon after one of the most confusing seasons in recent memory. Mixon's timetable for returning from an undisclosed injury kept getting pushed back, and the team never provided any clarity on why he wasn't able to play. Ultimately, the veteran running back finished the season with zero snaps, making his 2025 season certainly one to forget. Being released is never ideal, but this could be a blessing in disguise for Mixon if he signs elsewhere and contributes in the backfield. After all, he's less than two years removed from an elite 2024 campaign in which he posted 1,325 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns. Even partially returning to that form would get Mixon back on the fantasy radar as an RB3/flex or higher. However, his fantasy outlook is somewhat meaningless as long as he's a free agent.

Tyjae Spears News
Thursday, April 2, 4:13 PM
Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has missed nine games over the past two seasons and seen his carries and rushing yards drop year over year. Heading into the final season of his rookie contract, the former third-round pick might be facing a make-or-break situation. Unfortunately for Spears, the Titans have been heavily linked to Notre Dame prospect Jeremiyah Love in the upcoming NFL Draft, a selection that could result in little more than change-of-pace work for the fourth-year pro. Once expected to share close to a 50/50 split with veteran Tony Pollard, Spears has been out-touched by nearly a 2.5:1 ratio over the past two seasons, and should the Titans spend a top-four pick on the best running back in the draft, any hopes of a fantasy resurgence will likely be put to rest.
