Fantasy Impact:

There had been reports of Mixon shedding weight during the offseason but this gives fantasy owners tangible evidence. Mixon told reporters, "I feel real good. My body feels real good. I feel like I’m in really good shape.” Mixon is expected to see the majority of carries out of the Cincinnati backfield this season although he will still lose some passing down work to Giovani Bernard. Mixon is a high-upside option in fantasy drafts this season.
