Joe Mixon Week 10 Outlook - Lions at Texans

By Mick Ciallela (Fantrax), Wed, Nov 6th 2024, 11:05pm EST

Joe Mixon joins Derrick Henry and Saquon Barkley as the only NFL running backs averaging at least 100 rushing yards per game in 2024. Mixon's place in that group may be tenuous as he faces the Detroit Lions in Week 10. Detroit has a top-10 defense in just about every aspect, including versus the run. The good news is that Houston is not remotely shy about feeding Mixon the rock. Mixon has at least 24 carries in four of six games this season. Mixon's efficiency may be a bit lower than usual this week, but consider him a volume-based RB1.
