2024 Outlook from 
Likely High Volume, Inefficient Back On Explosive Offense
After seven seasons in Cincinnati, Joe Mixon finds himself in Houston this season after the Texans signed him to a three-year, $27M deal this offseason. Mixon's average salary per year is the 6th-most among running backs, just behind Saquon Barkley and Josh Jacobs. Needless to say, the Texans view Mixon as their primary ball-carrier. That job belonged to Devin Singletary in the latter part of the 2023 season. From Week 10 on, Singletary averaged 13.2 half-PPR points per game and was the RB15. He played on over 75% of the snaps in five of those nine games. Mixon, like Singletary last season, is no stranger to heavy workloads. Last season, he was 8th in snap share (69.8%), 3rd in opportunity share (78.9%), and 3rd in red zone touches (71). Now Mixon joins an ascending Houston offense that added Stefon Diggs in the offseason to go along with Nico Collins and Tank Dell. Points will be scored, and Mixon should find himself as one of the primary beneficiaries. He may not be the most efficient running back in the league, but his secure volume on a high-octane offense should more than make up for it. Mixon should be viewed as a high-end RB2 with low-end RB1 upside in 2024.
