Mixon tends to play a very high percentage of snaps on early downs, at the goal line, in short-yardage situations and during two-minute drills. Running backs who do so, despite not playing on third downs, generally play close to as well as feature backs and score more points in standard leagues.
Offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik recently said Mixon is “an absolute workhorse, in every regard.” The offenses Slowik has been part of generally run the ball more than average, which should continue to be true with Mixon. Going back to his 49ers days, Slowik's offenses typically had a clear early-down back and an every-down back with the right player, like Christian McCaffrey. This is all a great sign for Mixon's utilization this season.
Mixon has been a consistent top-12 fantasy running back in both total rank and points per game. Although he enters a new environment in 2024, he will again play in a high-scoring offense as the Texans' clear lead running back. While he’s never been the most explosive running back, it’s fair to think he will finish in the top 12 yet again.
