3 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) had a disappointing 2020-21 campaign. After signing a four-year, $48 million contract extension last September, the 24-year-old appeared in only six games last season before succumbing to a foot injury that eventually landed him on injured reserve. However, with the team fortifying its offensive line along with the return of Frank Pollack as O.L. coach, the former Sooner is expected to flourish. To make things sweeter, Giovani Bernard, who played in Cincy for eight seasons, is no longer in the picture, which should allow Mixon to get some additional looks from Joe Burrow in the passing game. Although he is a risky option based on his rocky past, the upside is certainly there for those looking for a back in the second or third rounds of upcoming fantasy drafts.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
