Yahoo fantasy analyst Andy Behrens explains why fantasy managers should roll with the Houston RB vs. the Colts in Week 8.

Video Transcript

Joe Mixon has only played four games this season but he has gone over 100 yards in three of them.

Plus he's made five house calls on the season.

He has just absolutely been tremendous, awesome stuff.

Kind of like the early career version of himself.

To be honest, he's actually averaging career highs in yards per carry and yards per touch.

Not too shabby, um, fire him up aggressively wherever you can against the Colts defense in week eight.

Indianapolis allows the second most rushing yards per game this season and over 4.5 yards per carry.

The matchup is a gift.

Mixon is a full workload featured runner who is just tearing up defenses recently this week.

Uh, I'm gonna predict another big one.

Let's give him 100 and eight yards on the ground one touchdown plus three catches for another 33 yards.
