Joe Mixon, the running back previously with the Bengals, is moving to the Houston Texans, marking a significant addition to their roster. Mixon, known for his impressive performance with 376 receiving yards in 2023, including +131 receiving yards over expected, ranks 4th among running backs. This move comes after the Texans' running backs gained only +28 YAC over expected last season, the 4th-fewest in the NFL. Mixon, who was RB5 in carries and RB11 in targets with the Bengals last season, finds a favorable position in Houston, especially considering the Texans recently lost their leading rusher, Devin Singletary, to the Giants. Mixon is due $5.75 million in 2024, including a $3,000,028 roster bonus. His acquisition is seen as a strategic fit, enhancing the Texans' offensive capabilities and potentially boosting his fantasy football value. Currently, he has no competition for touches in the team.
So the exact same group as last year but with a RB who hasn't topped 4.1 yards per carry since 2018? https://t.co/uSVFUY03UO

It's hard to find a better landing spot than the Texans for Joe Mixon, who was RB5 in carries and RB11 in targets in Cincy last season. Right now, he has no competition for touches. The Texans' RB2 very well could could via the draft.
Joe Mixon is due $5.75 million in 2024 -- including a $3,000,028 roster bonus due Sunday -- in the last year of his contract. Instead of being cut by the #Bengals, Mixon now lands in a great spot with the #Texans, who just lost leading rusher Devin Singletary to the #Giants.
