Joe Mixon rushes six times in loss to Chiefs

Joe Mixon rushed six times for 16 yards against the Kansas City Chiefs Saturday. Mixon was held mostly in check and his longest run of the day was for five yards. The Bengals lost to the Chiefs 30-12.

Fantasy Impact:

Joe Mixon had the same amount of rushes in the game as Jeremy Hill did. However Hill rushed for 28 yards in comparison to Mixon's 16. Neither are great in terms of yards per rush. The Chiefs have one of the league's best defense so that is not surprising to see low rushing totals. Mixon's average draft position is quite high for a rookie who is in the backfield with two other NFL caliber runningbacks. There is a wide range of outcomes for Mixon for the season but most of the fantasy experts are projecting Mixon to take this job mid season.
