Bengals frustrated about lack of running game

Nov 04, 2019

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was forthright about the team’s ineptitude running the football through eight games.

After having the best year of his career in 2018 and leading the AFC in rushing, Mixon and the Bengals have struggled mightily to run the football. Entering Week 10, Cincinnati continues to be the league’s worst rushing offense.

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon is getting 12.6 rushing attempts per game but only 3.2 yards per run the story said. The team wants to establish the run early but is often hurt by negative plays and penalties. The story said the team will look to use more 12 personal in the coming weeks to help with the running game, after having success in London against the Rams, running for 104 yards.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
