Joe Mixon is the Houston Texans running back and finished the 2026 regular season as a solid mid-range fantasy option at his position. He averaged 16.5 fantasy points per game across 15 appearances, though he currently sits outside our ranked 2026 draft board at running back. That per-game number is the starting point for every start or sit decision you make with him in 2026.
Joe Mixon finished 2026 with 1,165 rushing yards and 11 ground scores. He added 32 catches for 240 receiving yards, a meaningful passing-game role that lifts his PPR floor without making him a pure receiving back.
