Chig Okonwko More Attractive Off the Waiver Wire Going Forward?
Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo led the Titans with 56 receiving yards on three catches (three targets) in last week's 16-13 loss to the Houston Texans. It came in a game in which receivers Calvin Ridley (leg), Chimere Dike (chest), and Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) were all injured. Ridley broke his fibula and will miss the rest of the year, a significant development for the Titans' offense the rest of the way. It's unclear if Dike's and Ayomanor's injuries are serious enough to force ... [Read More]
Houston Texans D/ST Will Need to Shine on Sunday
The Houston Texans defense will need to continue to step up this week since the team will be without starting quarterback C.J. Stroud as they host the Jaguars in a divisional matchup. The Texans' defense has been outstanding all season and has only allowed more than 20 points one time in eight games. They had only one sack last week against the Broncos, but did force two turnovers while giving up just 18 points in the three-point loss. The unit has 10 takeaways in its last four games and has ...

No Timetable for Joe Mixon's Return
There remains no timetable for the return of Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot), and there continue to be rumblings that he could miss the entire 2025 season. General manager Nick Caserio wouldn't say one way or another earlier this month whether he thought the 29-year-old RB would come off the Non-Football Injury list to join the active roster this year. The Texans should have more clarity on Mixon's health in another couple of weeks, but until then, fantasy managers stashing ... [Read More]
More Clarity on Joe Mixon's 2025 Availability Coming Over the Next Few Weeks?
Houston Texans general manager Nick Caserio said the team will have clarity on running back Joe Mixon's (foot/ankle) health status for the "duration of the year" at some point "over the next few weeks." Mixon has not played yet in 2025, and the team has provided little to no information about a possible return timeline. It seems possible, if not likely, that the 29-year-old will miss the entirety of the season. If that's the case, Houston will likely continue splitting backfield work between ... [Read More]
Texans D/ST Ready to Take on the Ravens Without MVP QB
The Houston Texans defense is coming off a shutout against the Titans last week, and they'll get a decent matchup on the road against the Ravens, who won't have quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) and will start Cooper Rush instead. In last week's shutout of the hapless Titans, the Texans had two sacks and an interception, and they have multiple sacks in every game they have played this season, along with a total of three takeaways. The Ravens' offense will clearly be less potent without ... [Read More]
