Scouting report

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers

Joe Mixon put up good rushing numbers for the second straight game, with 82 rushing yards and an average of over 6 yards per carry in back-to-back games. However, he only had 14 touches against the Broncos which is way too low for a team looking for a playmaker. Mixon has shown signs of being a steady RB1 but Cincy has to get the ball in his hands on a more consistent basis.

Mixon will face the Chargers who are 15th in aFPA to running backs. With a neutral matchup and a new starting quarterback, we expect the Bengals to wake up and get the ball to Mixon 20+ times this week. Start him as a low-end RB1 for Week 14.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Denver Broncos

Joe Mixon had his best game since Week 8, as the second-year back has struggled to be consistent in 2018. Part of that has been because of the Bengals overall offense. He did have 21 touches for 155 yards which was a season-high in 2018. A lot of that was fueled by his seven receptions for 66 yards, both career-highs.

Mixon will face Denver this week who is 20th in aFPA to running backs. The results from last week combined with the favorable matchup make Mixon valuable for Week 13. He will also have a first-time starter at QB in Jeff Driskel so expect those touches to be in the 20+ range again this week. Start Mixon as a high-end RB2 for Week 13.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Cleveland Browns

Joe Mixon had his worst rushing totals of the season last week against Baltimore with 12 carries for 14 yards. He did score a touchdown to salvage his fantasy day. Mixon's touches have been low the last two games which is a concern. He has only averaged 14 and that has affected his production.

Mixon will face the Browns who are 26th in aFPA to running backs. This is a good matchup for the second-year back. We expect the Bengals to get Mixon more touches and his fantasy numbers will be back to normal. Start him as a low-end RB1 for Week 12.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Baltimore Ravens

Joe Mixon's touches dipped on Sunday to 13 which was a result of a poor performance by the Bengals offense. He still ended up with 85 yards from scrimmage and averaged 5.5 yards per carry. It just was a tough day for Cincy overall and that limited Mixon's ability to impact the game. Mixon has been limited in practice this week with a knee injury but is expected to play.

Mixon will face the Ravens for the second time this season. In the first meeting, he had 22 touches for 87 yards. Baltimore is currently ranked first in aFPA to running backs. The Bengals need to get Mixon the ball more than last week. But even if they do, it will be a tough game for him. Start him but only as a high-end RB2 for Week 11.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. New Orleans Saints

Joe Mixon had one of his best outings of the season on Sunday with 123 yards rushing and two touchdowns. He ended up with 24 touches after only having 14 touches the previous week. Mixon should keep getting those touches even if Giovani Bernard returns. There is no doubt the Bengals see him as an every-down back.

Mixon will have a tough matchup against the Saints who are ranked third in aFPA to running backs. That takes some value away from him, but he still should be in your starting lineup as a low-end RB1 for Week 10.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

After missing two games, Joe Mixon has had at least 15 touches in every game since. However, last week, he only had 51 total yards and did not reach the end zone after scoring a touchdown in the previous two games. With Giovani Bernard still out, expect Mixon to get the majority of meaningful carries.

The Bengals face the Bucs who are 20th in aFPA to running backs. Mixon has a good matchup and should be used as a three-down back this Sunday. Start Mixon in all leagues and formats as a top-five fantasy running back for Week 8.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Kansas City Chiefs

We are trying to figure out why Joe Mixon's touches were down last week. He averaged 5.8 yards per carry and still had four receptions. but ended up with only 15 touches compared the previous week when he had 25. Part of the issue was QB Andy Dalton throwing the ball 42 times. The Bengals don't have Giovani Bernard and the other running back getting on the field Mark Walton had two touches.

Bengals will face a Chiefs defense that gave up a hundred yard rusher last Sunday and is ranked 29th in aFPA to running backs. The Bengals should be getting Mixon a minimum of 20 touches but in reality it should be closer to 30. He rates a top 5 fantasy running back for Week 7.
