Joe Mixon News
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) has officially been ruled out for the Week 17 regular season finale against the Ravens. Mixon remains on Injured Reserve and has not played since a Week 6 loss to the Colts. The 24-year-old will finish the 2020 campaign with 428 rushing yards and 21 catches for 138 yards and four total touchdowns as an early round fantasy bust. Despite Samaje Perine stealing the show in the Week 16 win over the Texans, Giovani Bernard should remain the team's lead back this weekend in a tough matchup against Baltimore. Bernard ran the ball 16 times for 65 yards and also caught seven passes for 66 yards against Houston, but he'll be more of a low-upside RB3/flex against a Ravens Defense that is getting healthy at the right time of the season. They've allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to RBs in the last five weeks, but Cincy won't be able to move the ball as well as they did against the Texans.
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) will not return from Injured Reserve to play in Week 16 against the Texans, according to head coach Zac Taylor. "We'll see about next week," Taylor said. Mixon hasn't played since Week 6 against the Colts and is highly unlikely to return for a meaningless Week 17 game if he can't make it back this weekend. Giovani Bernard has been the Bengals primary running back ever since Mixon injured his foot, although he's left a lot to be desired in this offense minus impressive rookie quarterback Joe Burrow (knee). Bernard did carry the ball a season-high 25 times for a season-high 83 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 against the Steelers, and Houston's defense has allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to RBs in 2020. But fantasy managers can't expect a ton from this Bengals offense, making Bernard a low-end RB2/high-end RB3/flex option for championship week in fantasy.
The Cincinnati Bengals are placing running back Joe Mixon (foot) on the Injured Reserve, which means he'll miss at least the next three games. Mixon's whole 2020 season could be in jeopardy at this point, especially with head coach Zac Taylor refusing to rule out that possibility. At least for the next three weeks, Giovani Bernard will man the running back position. Though he lacks the top-end upside of Mixon, he's a solid RB2 play going forward. Bernard has double-digit touches in each of his three starts this season.
