Bengals RB Joe Mixon (ankle) week to week

Oct 04, 2021

Bengals’ RB Joe Mixon was diagnosed with a low-grade ankle sprain that will leave him week to week, per source.

Related players: Samaje Perine, Chris Evans

Fantasy Impact:

It was reported Mixon sat out the team's final drive on Thursday night against the Jags, and now it adds up as Mixon is dealing with a sprain. Perine touched the ball four times on that final drive and had also seen time on third down. If Mixon has to miss time, Perine could certainly see an uptick on touches and snaps. Evans would be next up and likely would be a factor in the game plan as well if Mixon is out.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
