Joe Mixon Doubtful, Dameon Pierce Out For Week 3

Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game vs. the Vikings after missing practice all week. RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out. That leaves RB Cam Akers as Houston's lead back. He had an impressive preseason coming off his second Achilles tear, averaging 4.7 yards per carry and ranking ninth among 108 qualifying RBs in Pro Football Focus' rushing grades. Akers should dominate Texans carries this weekend, although we expect him to lose passing-down snaps to RB Dare Ogunbowale.
