Joe Mixon is projected to be a key asset for the Houston Texans in 2025, with expected stats of 1,017.1 rushing yards and 10.6 rushing touchdowns. Despite a minor foot injury keeping him out of voluntary OTAs, Mixon is anticipated to be ready for the regular season.
The Texans' offensive scheme under coordinator Nick Caley is designed to maximize Mixon's workhorse role, projecting him for 249.3 rush attempts and 40.9 receptions. His 211.5 fantasy points make him a valuable fantasy asset, though his 29th-ranked strength of schedule suggests a challenging season.
Fantasy managers should monitor rookie Woody Marks, who gains valuable reps in Mixon's absence. Mixon's current ADP of #44 and ECR of #38 reflect his solid, yet cautious, draft value given the Texans' balanced offensive approach led by quarterback C.J. Stroud.
