A left ankle injury forced Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon to miss most of the second half of Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Seahawks in Seattle.

Fantasy Impact:

The team announced during the third quarter that Mixon's return was questionable but he never returned. The story added Mixon was seen walking into the Bengals' locker room with about three minutes left in the quarter. If Mixon misses games, Bernard would see an increase in time and Williams now becomes a factor as well.

Fantasy Impact:

Bernard gets a raise to $5.9 million this year and $11M over two, including a $600K guaranteed bonus due in March. Locking up a team leader and playmaker through 2021, the tweet went on to say. Bernard will serve as a change of pace and third down back as long as Mixon is healthy.

Giovani Bernard could see an increase in work this season

Longtime Bengals beat writer Paul Dehner Jr. believes that new head coach Zac Taylor will look to use Bernard more this season. Last year the receiving back saw just 7.6 touches per game, the lowest number in his career and coach Taylor has a "repeated vow to use all of his running backs more to keep Mixon fresh as the season progresses." Dehner also mentioned Todd Gurley's knee trouble and that it likely would inform coach Taylor's usage of Joe Mixon.

Fantasy Impact:

Dehner predicted 11-13 touches per game for Bernard, which would be a significant jump and would likely lower Mixon's ceiling, but bringing the Rams offense to Cincinnati should help Mixon even if he loses a few touches. It might be asking too much for Giovani Bernard to get close to 13 touches a game, but if he can get 9-10, his fantasy viability as a flex play would get a boost.
