00:00Houston against Indianapolis. Indianapolis is the team that I thought would be better.

00:06The player that's on the field is Joe Mixon. Every time he's on the field, he does something

00:10really exciting from a wagering, from a fantasy standpoint. What do you expect today?

00:14Yeah, Mixon is ranked as a top five running back this week on Fantasy Pro's consensus

00:18rankings and I agree with that. He has had three top four finishes already. Now he's

00:24missed a couple games. That's kind of what we expect for running back of his age. The

00:28last time that we saw him in a game against the Colts, 30 carries for 159 yards. So that's

00:33something this Colts offense, you know, isn't good now just because they, you know, didn't

00:37give up a ton of points last week. They're not all of a sudden good. They're still bad.

00:40So Joe Mixon is a player you want in your lineups for sure, of course, but I think he's

00:45got the opportunity to really exceed today. So what does that mean? That means we start

00:48to look for the props for him. Anytime touchdown score over on the rushing. We're gonna look

00:51to invest in him that way and the DFS market too. We're gonna get to that in just a bit,

00:56but you have to pay for running backs this week. This is a week that's set up very well

00:59for the running back position. And I think that's something you have to account for and

01:04find some pivot points potentially on that wide receiver scale and on that tight end

01:09scale, which luckily this week there are those guys available. So you can certainly make

01:12your case for them guys like Cedric Tillman, for instance, guys, even like Hopkins who

01:16are still priced as though they were Tennessee Titans going into the week. That's something

01:20that you can take advantage of this week. Even if he's not on the field that much, I

01:24think he's going to be on enough to make an impact at some point and certainly as touchdown

01:27equity, if he's going into that rushy rice roll, which is exactly, I think the role of

01:30the offense they envisioned for him. So Joe makes it in a really good spot here. I expect

01:35him to crush and also keep this in mind without Nico Collins. This offense has not been as

01:40prolific. He has been that number one guy. Diggs has been okay. Dale has not been great.

01:46That's certainly not lived up to expectation. So look for the Texans to lean heavily on

01:49the run here against the Colts and come out with a victory, running the football, playing

01:53defense at home in a big division game. And they could certainly kind of not lock up this

01:58division here with another win, but certainly put themselves into the driver's seat to again,

02:02put themselves in the playoffs and probably the winners of this division.
