The only league in which I would prefer Howard would be a league where I get points for past production. I don’t play in any leagues that have that setting.

Mixon is on another level of talent. We are only a few months away from seeing that unfold for the world to witness.

Mixon dropping weight to 218. Eerily like Lev Bell after year 1. While I don't share this extreme optimism on Mixon, I would not be surprised, and don't fault you for your take. After Bell's rookie year, I had him as my RB1 in all of Dynasty when I saw he cut weight down to around 217. When I drafted him in the late 2nd round of my hometown startup and pronounced he was the RB1 in all of Dynasty, I was laugher at. They weren't laughing a few months later, I was.

I dream of this happening. Its unlikely that it does. But I can still fantasize.

I respect people who take a shot on a player. I would not be surprised at all if he was a top 5 back. I have lengthy discussions about fringe players like Chris Carson who are probably not even in conversations two years from now on a thread of Chris Carson, but hey, who knows? With Mixon, though, he is not Chris Carson. He has college production, great measurables, and shows signs of being a bell cow type back. The fact he cut weight is a good thing IMO. Shows his dedication to getting better, and will be a tad quicker than he was last year, without losing too much power, because if you are moving faster, even at a slightly lesser weight, the inertia is equal, or perhaps greater.

Howard has proven himself the past 2 seasons. I'd ride him out until he proves otherwise.
