Joe Mixon Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (hip) and running back Joe Mixon (concussion) are listed as questionable for Week 13 against the Kansas City Chiefs. Chase was a full participant in practice on Friday after being limited earlier in the week. The 22-year-old is trending towards ending his four-game absence this Sunday, and although he'll be a bit more risky as a WR1 in his first game back, fantasy managers will want to start him everywhere in a potential high-scoring contest. Check back Sunday morning to make sure he's active. Mixon was still in the concussion protocol as of Friday and missed last week's game, so his status could come down to the wire. If he's active, the 26-year-old should be in starting lineups. If he misses another game, Samaje Perine will be a plug-and-play RB2 in fantasy.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase (hip) and running back Joe Mixon (concussion) both remained limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day. Chase suffered a hairline fracture of his right hip and a hyperextended right leg in late October and hasn't played since, but he's expected to return this weekend to face the Kansas City Chiefs. There's a chance he'll have his snaps limited in his return, but it's hard to argue for benching him if he's active in Week 13. His return will lower the ceilings of Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. Mixon, meanwhile, is trending towards a return after sitting out in Week 12 due to a concussion. Samaje Perine will revert to backup duties if Mixon returns and won't have standalone fantasy value. Mixon will be a high-end RB2/low-end RB1 if active.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (concussion) will practice on Wednesday. The superstar running back suffered a concussion in Week 11 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Unfortunately, he couldn't clear the protocols in time to play last week against the Tennessee Titans, resulting in Samaje Perine getting the start. However, Mixon's return to practice is an excellent sign that he should be ready to play Sunday for the showdown against the Kansas City Chiefs. The superstar is the RB8 for the year, averaging 16 half-point PPR fantasy points per game this season. Assuming he clears the protocols and can play, Mixon is a plug-and-play RB1 this week against Kansas City.
