Joe Mixon

Mixon's production in the data comes from a ground-and-goal-line profile. In 2024 he logged 245 carries for 1,016 yards and 11 rushing touchdowns, with 56 red-zone carries. In 2023 he logged 257 carries for 1,034 yards, 9 rushing touchdowns and the same 56 red-zone carries. Receiving was a steady secondary layer: 36 catches on 52 targets for 309 yards in 2024, and 52 catches on 64 targets for 376 yards in 2023. His efficiency was modest both years, at 4.2 and 4.0 yards per carry. The fantasy value rested on workload and scoring chances more than on explosive plays.

The two seasons look similar in total output, but 2024 was the stronger per-game year. He scored 240.5 PPR points in 14 games in 2024, compared with 267 in 17 games in 2023. That means he produced more per appearance in 2024 even though he finished 49th in PPR scoring that year versus 28th the year before. The data has no 2025 line and no 2026 games, so there is nothing here on his current form. He is 30, entering his tenth NFL season, and listed as questionable, with no detail on the reason.

Clutch Edge projects him at 16.9 PPR points per game, which falls between his 2023 and 2024 per-game rates. That projection assumes the carry and red-zone role he held in those seasons. The bigger issue is that he is listed as a free agent. Until he signs, he has no games to play and no weekly fantasy or DFS value. His overall rank of 140th sits well below what the per-game projection alone would suggest, which fits that uncertainty.

What would change the read is a signing with a team that gives him early-down and goal-line work, plus clarity on his questionable status. If both happen, his track record suggests his value will come from touchdowns and volume rather than efficiency. Without them, he is a name to watch, not a player to roster this week.
