We are now deep into the NFL offseason, with OTAs underway and training camps starting next month. While most free agents have found their new teams, there are still a few key players available who could have a significant impact on the fantasy football season.
RB Joe Mixon, FA
Mixon missed all of last season with the Houston Texans due to a foot injury and will be 30 years old when this season kicks off. However, he was still very fantasy relevant in 2024, rushing for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns on 4.1 yards per carry while catching 36 passes for 309 yards and one touchdown. If a team loses their starting running back, Mixon could be brought in as a starter if he's healthy.
RB Najee Harris, FA
We only got a small sample size for Harris last season with the Los Angeles Chargers due to an Achilles injury, but he did average 4.1 yards per carry in three games. He is a reliable back who has proven he can consistently get you four yards per carry. It's unlikely you want him on your fantasy team, but you also don't want him on the same NFL team as your fantasy running back.
