Joe Mixon Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had 20 carries for 69 yards during the Week 2 narrow loss to Chicago. He also caught one of his two targets for two yards. After Mixon received 29 touches for 127 yards and a touchdown in Week 1, the former Sooner took a step back on Sunday. Still, it was a decent outing for the 25-year-old, who will next have to deal with the Steelers in Week 3. Despite Mixon's rough showings against Pittsburgh throughout the years, he should remain a must-start option in nearly all fantasy formats

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had a fantastic afternoon during the overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings. The former Sooner had 29 carries, finishing with 127 yards and a touchdown, punching in a two-yard run halfway through the third quarter. He also caught all four of his targets and appeared to be back in total health after missing nearly all of last season with a foot ailment. Many had a feeling that Mixon could flourish with an enhanced offensive line and the departure of Giovani Bernard. However, he surpassed expectations by far in this one. Nonetheless, he may continue to get plenty of chances to make some noise on the fantasy end and should remain a must-start option in Week 2 against Chicago.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is surely a must-start option in all fantasy formats against Minnesota. The former Sooner had a miserable 2020 campaign, appearing in only six games because of a foot injury. However, after having a fantastic offseason, the veteran could be on track for his most productive season to date, beginning in Week 1 at Paul Brown Stadium versus the visiting Vikings. The Bengals' offensive line has improved, which may give him more room to look for openings, and Giovani Bernard is now in Tampa Bay, which could open the door for more pass-catching chances out of the backfield.
