Joe Mixon Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has been identified as a cut candidate, according to Brad Spielberger of PFF.com. The former Sooner finished the 2021 season with 1,205 rushing yards, 314 receiving yards, and 16 total touchdowns while also being selected for the Pro Bowl. However, he took a step backward last season, failing to hit the 1,000-yard rushing mark while amassing only nine trips to the end zone and a disappointing 3.9 yards per carry. Moving on from Mixon will clear much-needed cap space for the Bengals, a team prioritizing retaining Joe Burrow, Ja'Marr Chase, and Tee Higgins. It could also open up a path for Samaje Perine to become the undisputed backfield option in Cincinnati, assuming the club wants to sign him in free agency.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will have his aggravated menacing charge dropped on Friday morning. Mixon's attorney, Peter Schafer, stated, "it was a rush to judgment," although it's unknown why the charges are being dropped. The former Sooner allegedly pointed a gun at another person on January 21. While Mixon won't face criminal charges, a civil suit, among other things, is still a possibility, so he isn't out of the woods just yet. The 26-year-old ran for 814 yards off 210 carries while amassing 60 catches for 441 yards. He also totaled nine touchdowns, seven few than the 2021-22 campaign. There will likely be more on this story, so it's too early to tell how this will impact Mixon's fantasy stock.
