Where should you draft Mixon?
Mixon’s fantasy value should see a change this season entering a new location with a Texans offense led by QB C.J. Stroud. Houston will look to build on its momentum from last season with an offense that also added WR Stefon Diggs in the offseason.
Mixon will still mostly be a power back, whose shiftiness can create problems for defenses while his ability to receive out of the backfield will be another option for Stroud.
Draft Mixon in the 5th round and do not let him fall out of the 6th. The Texans will have a high-powered offense and Mixon will play a big role in that. When healthy, he’s good for 1,000+ yards and 10 touchdowns. In PPR leagues, he becomes more valuable demonstrated by his 50+ catches last season.
