Joe Mixon

Joe Mixon rushed 25 times for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Texans’ Week 10 loss to the Lions, adding 44 yards on two receptions.

Mixon struggled to find any room to run against the stout Detroit defensive line, something that seemed to be masked by his production through the air and his touchdown until the Texans squandered a 23-7 halftime lead to fall to 6-4. Even so, fantasy managers have to be thrilled at the continued high usage for the veteran running back, who has operated as one of the only remaining true workhorse backs in the league this season, potentially returning one of the better fantasy profiles versus draft cost in fantasy drafts this offseason. Up next for Mixon and the Texans are the Cowboys on Monday Night Football in Week 11.
