Who Should I Start? Joe Mixon or Zack Moss

Sunday, December 1, 4:46 PM

Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon bounced back from a season-worst day last week by going for 101 yards on 20 carries and also catching four passes for 18 yards in a 23-20 victory against Jacksonville on Sunday. The veteran back was efficient on the ground after a slow start, and continued being a major asset as a runner who catches passes and gets red zone work. His six targets were second on the team, and his seven-yard touchdown marked the seventh time in eight weeks that he found the end zone. Mixon should continue being a fantasy lineup staple after the Texans take their bye in Week 14.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Zack Moss (neck) will meet with neck specialist Dr. Robert Watkins and is likely to avoid surgery. It's good news for Moss, but he's already been placed on Injured Reserve and will miss the rest of the 2024 season after injuring his next in the Week 9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He will be shut down for the next two months. In a best-case scenario, the 26-year-old might be able to return if the Bengals make the postseason and make a deep run. In his first year in Cincy, Moss finishes with 74 carries for 242 yards (career-low-tying 3.3 yards per carry) and two touchdowns while snagging 23 of his 27 targets for 187 more yards and a touchdown. The Bengals quickly replaced Moss by trading for Bears RB Khalil Herbert, who should immediately serve as the No. 2 behind Chase Brown, possibly as early as Thursday night against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens.
