Joe Mixon Week 6 Outlook - Texans at Patriots
By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, Oct 11th 2024, 8:05pm EDT
Mixon looks to be back this week. He had limited practices on Thursday and Friday. He has been listed as questionable, but heâs expected to play and handle a sizable workload. In his only full game this season, he handled 33 touches and produced 178 total yards. Mixon has only forced a missed tackle on 10% of his runs, with 2.28 yards after contact per attempt. These arenât great numbers, and this week, while Mixon is playing, he is likely still not 100%, so we canât expect his tackle-breaking to be much better than that baseline. He has a tough matchup this week, but if he sees anything close to his usual volume and red zone role, heâs somewhere in the RB2 realm. New England has allowed the 13th-fewest rushing yards per game, the third-lowest missed tackle rate, and the 11th-lowest rushing success rate.
