Scouting report

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Baltimore Ravens
Joe Mixon's touches were lower than usual with 13 last Sunday. The Bengals are better when he is in the 20 range and he ended up with only 45 total yards. He did score a touchdown for the third straight game, so it still was a respectable fantasy day.

Mixon faces the Ravens who are ranked ninth in aFPA to running backs. We expect this game to be a typical AFC North game with physical play. In the first meeting this season, Mixon had 17 touches for 95 yards. Expect Cincy to get his touches back up this week.

Start Mixon as a high-end RB2 for Week 11. This will be a tough matchup on the road on a short week and although we think Mixon will be a factor, some caution should be used with expectations.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Houston Texans
Joe Mixon got his touches (19) again which produced 68 yards. He did have rushing touchdown for the second straight game. He has been the workhorse for the Bengals offense and almost guaranteed 15+ touches every week.

Mixon has a great matchup against Houston who is ranked 24th in aFPA to running backs. With some receivers banged up, Cincy could rely on him even more running the ball and in the pass game.

Start Mixon as a solid RB1 for Week 10. This sets up as a possible big day for him and the Bengals offense. Mixon will definitely be in the mix.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Buffalo Bills
Joe Mixon is coming off one of his best fantasy performances of the season. He had 19 touches for 110 yards and a touchdown including 87 rushing yards. He continues to be one of the most consistent and reliable running backs even if he doesn't always put up monster numbers.

Mixon had 123 total yards against the Bills in the playoff game last season and Buffalo is ranked 24th in aFPA to running backs. This is pointing towards another big game for him.

Start Mixon as a top-five fantasy running back for Week 9. We know he will get the touches and he has played Buffalo very good in the past. Expect 100 total yards this week.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at San Francisco 49ers
Joe Mixon has been rolling along before the bye week for the most part although his last game he had 15 touches for only 62 total yards, down from 25 touches the previous week. Mixon has been a steady veteran presence on an offense that has been all over the map.

Mixon faces the Niners who are ranked 12th in aFPA to running backs. The 49ers defense has shown some vulnerability in recent weeks so as long as Mixon gets his 15+ touches, he has good value.

Start Mixon as a solid RB2 for Week 8 on the road. Cincinnati is coming off the bye so he should be well-rested and get his normal workload for good fantasy numbers although not RB1 numbers.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Seattle Seahawks
This is what you want to see from Joe Mixon - 25 carries and 29 touches. He ended up with only 92 total yards which you would take from any running back, but he didn't get in the end zone so it was a slightly above average day for him.

Mixon faces the Seahawks who are ranked 22nd in aFPA to running backs. It's all about the touches and we expect him to get 20+ again.

Start Mixon as a low-end RB1 for Week 6. The Bengals offense is starting to get back in form and that is good news for Mixon managers as touches usually mean fantasy production.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Arizona Cardinals
Joe Mixon had 15 touches last Sunday which means he has a minimum of 15 every game this season. The results were limited as the Cincy offense has struggled. He did ended up with 76 total yards and has been consistent so far in 2023 without any big games.

Mixon faces the Cardinals who are ranked 29th in aFPA to running backs. The favorable matchup might open the door for that big game that the Bengals offense is looking for, and for Mixon as well.

Start Mixon as a solid RB1 for Week 5. Expect him to get the touches again and his biggest fantasy numbers of the season.

CIN RB Joe Mixon - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Tennessee Titans
Joe Mixon had his highest touches total of the season hitting the 20 mark and that's usually good news for his managers. He had 70 total yards and also his first touchdown of the season. As long as he gets touches, Mixon always has good fantasy results.

The Bengals faces the Titans who are ranked 6th in aFPA to running backs. Mixon didn't play in last season's meeting, and has only faced them once in his career where he rushed for 37 yards

We expect a healthy does of Mixon this Sunday even with an unfavorable matchup. Start him as a low-end RB1 for Week 4. The Bengals offense should be able to put up some good fantasy numbers.
