Joe Mixon Week 8 Outlook - Colts at Texans

Fun fact: Derrick Henry is on pace to set the NFL single-season rushing record. He has three top-four weekly finishes in seven games. What does this have to do with Joe Mixon? Well, Mixon also has three top-four finishes despite only playing in four games. One of those games was the season-opener against the Indianapolis Colts. In that game, Mixon carried the ball 30 times for 159 yards. Mixon gets the Colts again in Week 8. Though it is still October, this game could go a long way towards deciding the AFC South. Look for Houston to continue riding Mixon in this matchup, particularly with how their passing game has sputtered since losing Nico Collins.
