Joe Mixon Looking To Rebound Against Familiar Foe
3 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon took a step back during the Week 2 matchup against the Bears. After carrying the ball 29 times and finishing with 127 yards and a touchdown during the overtime win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 1, the former Oklahoma Sooner only produced 69 yards off 20 attempts against Chicago. While Mixon should continue to get plenty of touches against the Steelers on Sunday, he also may enjoy an uptick in looks from Joe Burrow, mainly with Tee Higgins (shoulder) expected to sit this one out. To sweeten the pot for Mixon managers, Pittsburgh will be without some key defensive options, which will only elevate his ceiling even higher. As a result, he should be classified as a must-start in nearly every fantasy format imaginable in Week 3.
