Texans RB Nick Chubb will "likely" serve as lead back with potential Joe Mixon absence

Jonathan M. Alexander

Aug 20, 2025 · 1:58 PM EDT

This is why the Texans felt it was necessary to go out and get Nick Chubb in free agency. Chubb will likely serve as the lead back until Joe Mixon returns, whenever that may be.

Related Players: Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks

Fantasy Impact:

Pierce saw a lowly 16.4% of the team's snap share in 2024, and Marks is a Day 2 rookie, so this makes sense. With that said, Marks still makes a very interesting late-round dart throw, as Chubb has dealt with his own major injury in the recent past and it's clear the coaching staff doesn't think too highly of Pierce.

Texans RB Joe Mixon "could" begin regular season on PUP

Jonathan M. Alexander

Aug 20, 2025 · 1:54 PM EDT

The last I reported was that Joe Mixon would miss the entire preseason and maybe longer. What I would say is no one has expressed major concern to me about him being out for the entire season. There has been caution about him returning in Week 1. So I do think it’s possible he could begin the regular season on the physically unable to perform/reserve list, in which case he’d miss the first four games.

He hasn’t been seen out at practice, nor has he worked off to the side, which would indicate he’s not two to three weeks away from returning from the foot or ankle injury he suffered off the field this past offseason.

Related Players: Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, Woody Marks

Fantasy Impact:

The foot/ankle injury was enough of a worry for the team to go out and get Chubb, and it doesn't seem like there has been any change in the following weeks/months. Mixon should be avoided until we get clarity on the matter, but any further dings to his efficiency would make him a stay-away anyways.

Texans RB Joe Mixon, in a boot throughout spring, lands on NFI

Adam Schefter

Texans placed RB Joe Mixon on the Non-Football Injury list.

Related Players: Nick Chubb, Woody Marks, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

Maybe the Chubb signing was a little more necessary than we thought at first? Schefter followed this tweet up with the idea that he is "expected to be OK fairly soon", so we'll keep an eye on the matter. Mixon should continue to be regarded as a fantasy RB2 as it stands, with Chubb more of a contingency bet as an RB4/5.

Texans to sign former Browns RB Nick Chubb

Ian Rapoport

Jun 08, 2025 · 6:39 PM EDT

Sources: Browns free agent RB Nick Chubb, one of the most decorated players available, is expected to sign with the Texans on Monday if all goes well with his physical, sources say.

Chubb’s 2024 ended prematurely with an injury, but now he could return for more in Houston.

Related Players: Joe Mixon, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale, Dameon Pierce

Fantasy Impact:

If everything goes through without a hitch, both Ogunbowale and Pierce could be in a battle for an eventual roster spot. As Rapoport said, Chubb's season was cut short, but it wasn't a particularly prolific one when he was on the field. Chubb had the exact same YPA as D'Onta Foreman (3.3) and was easily outpaced by Ford in YPA (5.4) and yards after contact per attempt (3.5-to-2.7).

With the addition of Woody Marks in the fourth round, we'd take a wait-and-see approach before we skyrocket Chubb all the way up the rankings.
