3 years agoThere was no sign of Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) at practice on Thursday after he missed Wednesday's session with what's believed to be a non-COVID-19-related illness. Fantasy managers should be a little concerned, but if Mixon can return to practice on Friday, he should be in line to start in Week 14 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old suffered a neck injury late in the Week 13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but he returned to the game and doesn't have a neck injury listed on this week's injury report. Samaje Perine might be worth a pickup this week as insurance if you have Mixon rostered or are desperate for RB help this weekend. Mixon is looking to keep a six-game touchdown streak alive. He's scored 10 touchdowns (nine rushing, one receiving) in the last six games.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
