Joe Mixon Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is looking forward to getting the 2019 season rolling and is as equally excited about playing under first-year head coach Zac Taylor. Just the stuff that coach does. Putting the back in the position to win one-on-one battles, remarked Mixon. While the third-year back still has his fair share of skeptics, he appears eager to get the season off the ground. During Taylors run as an offensive assistant in Los Angeles, he was partially responsible for overseeing Todd Gurleys success, with Gurley rushing for 2,556 yards and 30 touchdowns over two seasons. Though he may not be a top-five back on paper, he could be one of the most efficient runners in the league this season, as long as he can remain healthy and despite having one of the worst offensive lines in the league.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will look to improve after a solid 2018 season. After accruing just 626 yards on the ground during his rookie campaign, Mixon eclipsed the millennium mark last season to finish with 1,168 yards to go along with nine total trips to the end zone. Though it has been argued that he isn't a top-five back, he will begin his first season under the tutelage of new head coach Zac Taylor, who served as an assistant under Sean McVay. Taylor, who will mirror some parts of the Rams' playbook initially, will utilize the same packages that helped running back Todd Gurley become a fantasy success. As a result, Mixon has a better chance than most to have a dominant season despite being behind a weaker offensive line, and as long as he can remain healthy.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (wrist) and wide receiver John Ross (knee) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Both players should be able to play in Week 16 against the Bengals. With A.J. Green already on Injured Reserve and Tyler Boyd expected to miss the last two games, Mixon will have an even bigger role the rest of the way. He'll be a no-doubt RB1 against Cleveland this weekend if he plays, while Ross will essentially be the team's No. 1 receiver. However, Ross is more of a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex for the desperate.
