Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is doubtful for Week 3 against the Vikings.

Mixon did not practice at all this week and players rarely play through doubtful tags, so fantasy managers can move forward assuming Mixon is out for Week 3. Backup running back Dameon Pierce is also out, putting Cam Akers in line to start versus the Vikings. Akers played well in the preseason despite joining the team after the start of training camp and managed to carve out a spot on the roster via his performance. He should see the bulk of Houston’s carries this week with Dare Ogunbowale pitching in on obvious passing downs. Akers ranks as an RB2 for Week 3.
