The Houston Texans will face the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding RB Joe Mixon.

Should You Start or Sit Joe Mixon in Week 11?
Joe Mixon posted his worst boom/bust rate of the season on Sunday night (six carries that failed to gain yardage and none that gained 10+) with easily his lowest mark in terms of yards per carry after contact. Signs of fatigue for a 28-year-old running back who has 24+ rush attempts in four straight games?
I think there’s some of that, but he’s been able to hold up. If Nico Collins returns to action, I think we could see an ideal situation — less work and more efficiency. From a week-to-week point of view, I’m not the least bit worried about Mixon on Sunday. But consider yourself warned that there are some warning signs to consider as you look to build an optimal playoff roster.
