4 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (shin) is likely to take the field Sunday against Baltimore after having been limited in practice throughout the week due to a shin ailment. After three quiet fantasy weeks to begin the season, Mixon erupted in Week 4 with 181 yards from scrimmage to go along with three touchdowns. Having averaged just over 19 carries per game to begin the season, Mixon figures to continue holding a sizable role in the offense as rookie signal caller Joe Burrow gets acclimated. Despite that, Mixon will have a tough matchup against a stout Baltimore defensive front, while also factoring in that Mixon is likely at less than 100 percent. Last season, Mixon was Jekyll and Hyde versus the Ravens, rushing for 10 yards on eight carries in Week 6, before responding with 114 yards on the ground in Week 10.--Jesse Borek
