3 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (ankle) shed his questionable tag prior to the Week 5 outing against the Packers. However, he only saw limited work during the overtime loss, but he managed to score a touchdown, finding the end zone off an eight-yard run in the fourth quarter. Nonetheless, although the former Sooner's fantasy managers weren't sure what type of production they would get out of him against Green Bay, he has been playing too well this season to consider benching, at least in deeper formats. Samaje Perine was also involved on Sunday, scoring a touchdown of his own. Still, if Mixon can get some rest and heal up some more ahead of the Week 6 matchup against Detroit, it's logical that he will see an uptick in touches against the struggling Lions, reaffirming his usual must-start designation even more.--Dennis Clausen - RotoBaller
