True North Fantasy Football
It looks like we have one more year of Mixon being a Bengal. For fantasy purposes, this is the best situation for him as he is the clear lead back on one of the league's best offenses. This is an even better situation with an improved line than it was in 2021 when he was the RB3 and last year when he was the RB12. Mixon should be a solid RB-one with his only competition being Chase Brown, who was in the fifth round, and Trayveon Williams potentially replacing Samaje Perine's role.Despite only playing 22 full games in his three seasons in the league, Dobbins still has support from the fantasy community. He's a tough back to the project as the team is expected to be more reliant on the passing game, and Dobbins only has 25 career receptions. Even without his passing work, he is the lead back on a dynamic team. Despite Lamar Jackson potentially stealing goalline opportunities, he should see enough opportunity to be a steady RB-two for fantasy.

Several Bengals' beat writers think that there's a good chance Cincinnati cuts Mixon after June 1st to save $10 million against the salary cap unless he takes a pay cut. Even if they keep him, Mixon is facing a misdemeanor aggravated menacing charge. That could result in a suspension by Roger Goodell once the case ends. There's a lot of risk here. Cincinnati has one of the best offenses in the league. If Mixon stays I think he's in store for a good year, but that's no longer a given. Interesting side note, Burrow, Chase, Higgins, and Mixon showed up for voluntary OTA's in early May. You wouldn't think Mixon would show up if he was upset about a potential pay cut. If the Bengals keep him, he could be a value if you can get a good price on draft day. Mixon's current ADP is RB 20 which seems like fair value given his talent and the risk. Fantasy owners who take a chance will have to hope the only stripes he wears in 2023 are the Bengals uniforms.Last year Dobbins was coming off reconstructive knee surgery. It didn't go well. He wasn't ready. This year should go better. His body has had time to heal. in addition, the Ravens' offense should be more explosive. A healthy Lamar Jackson along with newcomers Odell Beckham and Zay Flowers can all flat-out fly. They could propel Baltimore's offense to a whole new level. The con of Lamar is he doesn't throw it to his RBs much. He doesn't have to. Lamar is so elusive, he just takes off and runs. Jackson also vultures a few TDs. The other concern is Gus Edwards. He's 238 lbs. He had six TDs in 2020. He could vulture some too. Those factors limit Dobbins' upside. Currently, Dobbins's ADP at RB 18 is a bit high, but not outrageous considering the firepower Baltimore has. Remember, the J.K. either stands for just keep expectations reasonable or just keep telling those awful jokes Ringo haha! Probably the latter haha!

Future with team has come into question, but looks likely to be back for 2023 - back-to-back RB1 campaigns, and 4th-most catches per game at RB in 2022Just 8 games in 2022 coming off brutal knee injury, but he closed in exciting fashion, with 7.0 YPC and 100 yards per game in his final 4 contests
Wolf of Roto Street
Roto Street Journal
5/5: Mixon leaves the draft unscathed, with Samaje Perine gone, and with a newly-firm endorsement from his head coach. We might get true three-down horse upside as they ride him out into the sun! Among the biggest winners of the last couple months after a disastrous start to the 2023 offseason 3/17: Samaje is gone. If Mixon remains with the team without fresh, danerous competition his 70+ ADP on Underdog is going to seem SILLY. Esp. with the line beefed up! Potential cut candidate - would lose a lot of value outside the explosive Bengals offense5/5: No competition added, offense should be significantly more explosive w/ Todd Monken + Lamar back with new weaponry. Big big winner of the offseason after tearing it up, even though clearly not with his final gear, to close last season Bet he pushes for 2023 Comeback Player of the Year. Didn't have his full gear and STILL was dominant (elite vision) once he returned from injury.

It truly was a tale of two seasons for Joe Mixon. In Weeks 1-8, Mixon struggled immensely averaging 3.3 yards per carry as the RB19 in points per game. No running back scored fewer fantasy points versus expected because he just couldn't seem to find the end zone. But as the newer pieces of the offensive line started to gel, Mixon's production took off in the form of positive touchdown regression. He finished the season (including the postseason) as PFF's second-highest-graded running back headlined by an elite 5-touchdown game versus the Panthers in Week 9. In his eight healthy games from Weeks 9 to the conference championship, he averaged 16.7 fantasy points per game (equivalent to RB5 on the season). All in all, Mixon finished 6th in touches per game (19.5) and second in carries inside the 10-yard line (28) from Weeks 1-17, but only scored five touchdowns. The career-high receiving usage (60 catches for 441 yards on 70 targets) paved the way for Mixon's RB8 finish in points per game. However, it should be noted that the team did involve Samaje Perine more down the stretch after he filled in admirably during Mixon's injury (Weeks 11-13). Perine out-snapped Mixon in two of the Bengals' three playoff games and routinely ran more routes. But Mixon still averaged nearly four catches per game. I wouldn't envision his receiving role on early downs changing even if he loses snaps to another RB on third downs. Former Michigan running back Chris Evans projects to take a larger role on third downs after Samaje Perine signed with the Denver Broncos.Coming back from major knee surgery, J.K. Dobbins' 2022 season debut was delayed until Week 3. And he posted middling results, failing to surpass 50 rushing yards or 13 carries in any game with little receiving usage to speak of (6 targets). It was revealed that Dobbins needed another knee surgery after Week 6 and he was placed on IR until Week 14. It wasn't until Dobbins came back later in the year that fantasy managers got a glimpse of what the talented RB displayed as a rookie. The Ravens RB1 played in five games (including playoffs) averaging 6.6 yards per carry, 92 rushing yards, and 14 carries per game. Although he still split time with Gus Edwards - nearly identical carry totals in the Wild Card Round loss to the Bengals - and Dobbins' receiving usage remained obsolete with just 7 targets total to close out the year (5 of which came versus Cincinnati).
Derek Lofland
FantasyPros
Mixon had 799 yards rushing, 300 yards receiving, and 9 TDs in 14 fantasy games. The problem is that 5 of the TDs came in one game and that was also the only game he rushed for 100 yards. Mixon is more of a RB2 that is likely going to be on a new team in 2023.Dobbins played in only 8 games during the fantasy season, finishing with 520 yards rushing, 42 yards receiving, and 3 TDs. He should be more consistent a year removed from his knee injury, making him a low-end RB2 to flex option, depending on what happens with Lamar Jackson's contract.
