Career-ending non-football foot injury; exact cause remains unconfirmed. Three competing narratives: (1) shot himself and covered it up (Aaron Wilson denied this); (2) dropped heavy weight during workout, suffered crush injury with blood-flow complications, gangrene, and failed rehab/surgery attempts, sought unauthorized doctor instead of team physician; (3) experimental procedure gone wrong. Injury occurred outside Texans knowledge; Mixon did not disclose to preserve guaranteed money. Permanent loss of mobility; cannot run or cut. Averaged 1,000+ rushing yards per season across 6 full seasons (2017–2019 peak); 2020 injury season excluded. Last year drafted despite being MIA in camp; rumo...

Also David Montgomery is the clear RB1 and they want to throw him the football Take: Yesterday’s insider report about splitting with Marks felt inconsistent from everything else I’ve read and heard. Still think this is a Joe Mixon role but will pay attention closely.

Mixon is the RB12 on RB5 usage over the past two seasons in 21 games with Joe Burrow active, using half-PPR scoring; in 2025 alone, he was the RB5 on RB4 usage in six games with Burrow. His ADP sits at RB12 in the middle of Round 2, so Mixon has very clear upside if this split continues. The Bengals didn't add RB competition, Mixon is healthy right now, and the Bengals are fourth in projected points according to betting markets. Mixon was the RB8 in rushing success rate in Burrow games and the RB2 in rush yards over expected on carries with three-or-fewer yards to go. The Bengals OL and rushing scheme has improved since Mixon entered the NFL, helping his TD chances. Mixon was the RB6 in receptions per game (4.1) last year and the Bengals don't throw him screens (10% screen rate in Burrow games since 2024), but Burrow is quick to check things down in shootouts. The source expects his rushing numbers to set career highs while his receiving work takes a slight hit—a net win in half-PPR.

Definitely get the sentiment here but I would say there's a couple key differences in why we should be much more concerned with Harvey's year 1: Prospect Strength: All three of CMC, Mixon and Bell were significantly better prospects than Harvey, and were much younger coming out (all 21 as rookies while Harvey was 24!) Offensive Line: The 2025 Broncos had a much better OL (7th best PFF run blk grade), while all these other RBs OL units were below average to horrible (19th or worse). Dobbins ha...
