As expected, Bengals RB Joe Mixon will not play this week.

Mixon hasn't played since Week 6 against Indy, dealing with a foot injury. While he didn't light up the fantasy scoreboard most weeks, he did average 19 carries a game. He averaged 71 rushing yards a game but most of that came from a 151-yard performance against the Jags. His second highest rushing total was 69 yards in Week 1. He averaged 3.5 catches a game as well, which came with QB Joe Burrow under center. It will be tough to trust Mixon in 2021 but with Burrow back and the volume Mixon got this season, he'll likely be a highly-desired fantasy pick once again next summer.

Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor ruled running back Joe Mixon out for Week 16 due to his foot injury.

The news is not surprising as this will mark Mixon's ninth consecutive missed game and it certainly looks like the Bengals have shut him down for the season. Giovani Bernard will continue to handle the majority of the backfield work in Cincinnati with Samaje Perine and rookie Trayveon Williams mixing in for occasional touches.

Cincinnati Bengals head coach suggested running back Joe Mixon will not play against the Steelers in Week 15. When asked if Mixon would play this week, Zac Taylor said "Check back next week".

Joe Mixon has not been officially ruled out, but head coach Zac Taylor comments suggest that he will be officially ruled out on Friday. Mixon was disappointing when healthy, but remains one of the most talented running backs in the league. Gio Bernard, Samaje Perine, and Traveon Williams will share touches in his absence. Gio is our 37th ranked running back for Week 15.

Bengals Head Coach Zac Taylor announced that starting running back Joe Mixon will not be activated for Week 14's game against Dallas.

Mixon is eligible to return this week but apparently is not ready yet. Given how his injury has progressed, it appears possible, if not likely, the Bengals have simply shut Mixon down for the season. Giovani Bernard will retain his role as Cincinnati's primary running back, but his usage and efficiency has dropped off in recent weeks. That being said, he gets a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 14.

The Bengals have placed RB Joe Mixon on injured reserve.

Mixon is now out for at least the next three games as he continues to deal with a foot injury. The earliest he’ll return now would be Week 14 against the Cowboys, so you might get him back to the playoffs, but don’t completely rely on that. Mixon hasn’t played since Week 6. Giovani Bernard will continue to roll for the Bengals. He is our No. 22 RB in half-PPR.

Bengals RB Joe Mixon will not play Week 11 against the Washington Football Team, according to Ben Baby of ESPN.

While Mixon has missed time, Bernard has been a steady RB2 for fantasy. Bernard is 15th on 4for4's running back rankings (PPR).

Cincinnati Bengals superstar running back Joe Mixon missed Thursday's practice session.

Things are not looking good for Joe Mixon's availability for Week 11, but we will know more based on his activity, or lack thereof, in the team's final practice session of the week on Friday. We suspect that Mixon will need to log at least a limited session in order to have a chance to suit up on Sunday, so if he is unable to go tomorrow, we may get an early rule out. If Mixon is not cleared for this weekend, it will be Gio Bernard getting another start for the Bengals. Mixon fantasy managers will have already wanted to concretize their contingency plans for this weekend. Bernard is our 15th ranked running back for Week 11.
