Joe Mixon Fantasy Overview

The Texans fired OC Bobby Slowik, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's a big fall for Slowik, who was mentioned as a potential HC candidate just a year ago. He helped QB C.J. Stroud to an impressive 2023 rookie season, with Houston finishing 12th in total yards and 13th in points. But Stroud and the Texans offense took a step back this past year, ranking 22nd in yards and 19th in points. Slowik took some heat for a high early-down run rate, but the Texans finished 10th in neutral pass rate and fifth in pass rate over expected. To our eyes, the biggest issue in Houston was an offensive line that ranked 31st in ESPN's run block win rate and 22nd in pass block win rate. We'll see what the Texans do to bolster that unit this offseason -- and who they tab to replace Slowik.

Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is active for today's game vs. the Chiefs. He was added to the injury report on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday. So it's safe to assume Mixon won't be at 100% today, although there never seemed to be much doubt about whether he'd play. See where Mixon lands in the Divisional Round RB Rankings.
