Joe Mixon Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (rest) did not play on Thursday against the New York Giants. While Mixon sat, it opened the door for others to get some meaningful reps, notably potential third-string back Rodney Anderson, who ran for just seven yards on eight carries as well as Giovani Bernard, who had four yards on three carries. With rookie Trayveon Williams (foot) out for an undetermined amount of time, it wouldn't be a surprise if Mixon doesn't suit up for the team's final preseason encounter against the Colts in order to further evaluate the quality of the running backs on the roster.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will begin his third year in the league when the team takes on the Seattle Seahawks, but it will be his first season with new head coach Zac Taylor. Taylor spent a couple of seasons serving under current Rams head coach Sean McVay, during which time the Rams skyrocketed to first in the league in scoring in Taylors first season as an assistant, which was also the same season where Todd Gurley led the league in yards from scrimmage. With Mixon finishing with 1,168 yards and eight touchdowns in 2018, he could be poised for a breakout season under a new regime.

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.
