Sure, if he's looking good in practice adjust accordingly. From what I'm hearing it isn't good and he didn't practice on Thursday. So as of right now, I'm saying no to him.Anyone going to start him if is a go?
I'm guessing he's going to be limited if he is
.
I'm probably not playing him. Looking at subbing in Jerome Ford or Calvin Ridley.
Having said that, if I see positive reports going into the game I won't hesitate to play Mixon.
hope others picked up Akers as well looks like Mixon is out (doubtful).
Yes Mixon officially doubtful and Pierce OUT
No. He's listed as doubtful which is similar to SEA listing Walker the same even though none of them are going to play. You can make a case they should be listed as OUT instead of doubtful but if those teams feel like they have the smallest glimmer of hope for the player's condition to improve by Sunday morning that's their call. But it's beyond rare for a player to be listed as doubtful to play, it's like the new OUT less official.
This is because Zac Taylor is a jackass when it comes to coachspeak
The Texans have great WR who will get most of the defense attention which is how they played the 49ers.
I agree but mixon was struggling last week. Akers came in 5 yards a pop. He’s a free rb2 for the week (free?)
Honestly I'm not sure what to make of Akers.
I could really use him as well but I heard he still isn't practicing. Not good. Even a limited practice would have been nice to see. My guess is he is out this week.Any update?
I need him in my lineup this week!!
Just saw Pearce didn’t practice again today. Maybe Akers was so lame last week because Minn is studly.
Negative game script was probably the biggest reason. Personally I like Akers as the RB2 on this team better than Pierce, but if both play I wouldn't start either.
Yep. If Pearce plays (assuming Mixon is out) both these backups are dart throws at best.
Nah Pierce stinks in this system he should have been cut after preseason but only stayed on given his high draft pick and success he had under different system.
He looked good in the short clip. Didn’t even see tape on the ankle but may be wrong

Im over here cheering with limited choices outside Akers loldagnabbit
I watched parts of Houstons game yesterday as well as last week. I didn’t watch both in their entirety—but I thought it was abundantly clear that the Texans go from being an explosive and dynamic team offensively with Mixon back there, to a team is pretty one dimensional offensively without him. Does anybody know if he was actually close to returning this week? I think the Texans play the Bills next week. A healthy Mixon would really change the dynamics of that game imo.
I need him as well. Any updates would be greatly appreciated!
Sorry but no positive news to share, still not able to practice.
Frustrating. I saw one post (wasn't confirmed) that maybe he had a setback. Unfortunate that is for sure.
I will be starting him a ton, but I also have some pretty desperate teams at RB. However it is a good matchup.
Honestly Akers has not looked bad, but not much value if he doesn't get the passing down play. They seem to be going backfield by role with Mixon out.
I traded for him last year for the same reason - very durable throughout his career. Very odd what is up and little to no update on why.
