Joe Mixon Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon could lead the league in rushing this season, according to MSN's Matt Johnson. Johnson stated that with the team's enhanced offensive line and the arrival of rookie quarterback Joe Burrow, he wouldn't be surprised if the 23-year-old accumulated nearly 1,400 yards on the ground this year. Mixon finished last season with 1,137 yards and five touchdowns off of a career-high 278 attempts. He also pulled in 35 catches for three additional scores and ranked seventh in rushing yards after contact. Fantasy managers will want to plan accordingly as he should be one of the first backs off the boards in fantasy drafts for the 2020 campaign.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon could be on track for a new deal sooner rather than later. With veteran wideout A.J. Green, who has yet to sign a franchise tag worth $18 million for the 2020 campaign, in the middle of trade rumors once again, his potential departure could open up the cash needed to get an immediate deal done for the former Sooner. If Mixon doesn't receive an extension of his current rookie contract, he stated in the past that he is prepared to hold out if necessary. Mixon is projected to be one of the first backs off the board in fantasy drafts for the upcoming season and could in store for his best campaign to date under the guidance of second-year head coach Zac Taylor while playing behind a seemingly upgraded offensive line.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon and the team have yet to reach an agreement on a new deal, with the organization still hopeful that something can be worked out over the summer. Mixon is looking for cash comparable to Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey and has hinted in the past that he isn't afraid to hold out, much like Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook. With Cook not reporting until he inks a new contract, a dangerous trend may have started, which could ultimately hinder discussions between Mixon and the organization moving ahead.
