Week 14 at Los Angeles Chargers
Joe Mixon put up good rushing numbers for the second straight game, with 82 rushing yards and an average of over 6 yards per carry in back-to-back games. However, he only had 14 touches against the Broncos which is way too low for a team looking for a playmaker. Mixon has shown signs of being a steady RB1 but Cincy has to get the ball in his hands on a more consistent basis.
Mixon will face the Chargers who are 15th in aFPA to running backs. With a neutral matchup and a new starting quarterback, we expect the Bengals to wake up and get the ball to Mixon 20+ times this week. Start him as a low-end RB1 for Week 14.
