Week 8 at San Francisco 49ers
Joe Mixon has been rolling along before the bye week for the most part although his last game he had 15 touches for only 62 total yards, down from 25 touches the previous week. Mixon has been a steady veteran presence on an offense that has been all over the map.
Mixon faces the Niners who are ranked 12th in aFPA to running backs. The 49ers defense has shown some vulnerability in recent weeks so as long as Mixon gets his 15+ touches, he has good value.
Start Mixon as a solid RB2 for Week 8 on the road. Cincinnati is coming off the bye so he should be well-rested and get his normal workload for good fantasy numbers although not RB1 numbers.
