Joe Mixon Likely To Take Field Sunday
4 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (chest) gave some fantasy managers a scare when he was a late addition to the team’s injury report, but it appears that he is healthy enough to play Sunday against Jacksonville. Yet to find the end zone over the first three weeks of the year, Mixon is scuffling to find consistency in the running game, having averaged just 3.2 yards per carry. A focal point of the offense, Mixon carries upside in DFS, but another touchdown-less week in season-long formats would put him in a tenuous position. His snap count was bumped up to 72% last week versus Philadelphia, an indication that his role could be heading in the right direction against the Jaguars, irrespective of the chest ailment.
