Joe Mixon was a top six fantasy back over the first 13 weeks in his first season in Houston. The rest of the season he ranked 44th with only 129 yards on 40 carries, with no touchdowns. The team signed Nick Chubb for a reason. Mixon will have good games, but his usage may be limited and a hot hand factor will play imto it.

"Fantastic season in Houston, will run it back"

If you believe the Texans that Joe Mixon's ankle will be fine and he'll be ready for the opener, then Chubb has no business being ranked this high.

If you believe what you see -- Mixon is still in a walking boot after playing through an injured ankle last year -- Chubb could earn a bigger split than we're considering.

Mixon is an excellent running back -- a more experienced Breece Hall who may have lost a little bit of explosion with his game over the years.

But you know what I'm going to say if you're familiar with my work: A healthy Nick Chubb is the best back in football.

Will Chubb be healthy enough? That's the key question. Stay tuned.

The team signed Nick Chubb for a reason. Mixon will have good games, but his usage may be limited and a hot hand factor will play into. At his age, its one season at a time as dynasty rankings fall quickly.

Mixon has been productive enough throughout his career to maintain pretty steady high end running back two status. I don't think the Chubb signing will do much to change that. Mixon should still be a running back two this year, but maybe one with less potential for volume-based boom weeks. If I'm a contender I'm holding him. If I'm in rebuild mode I should be looking to move him to a contender regardless of Chubb's presence on the roster.
