Joe Mixon racks up 149 all-purpose yards in Week 1
by Matthew Adam | Texans Correspondent | Sun, Sep 9th 4:32pm EDT
Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon made a strong impression in his Week 1 game against the Colts. Mixon rushed 17 times for 95 yards and a touchdown while adding five catches for 54 yards to power his team to a 34-23 win.
Fantasy Impact:
The Bengals held true to their preseason proclamations that Mixon would be their workhorse back in 2018. Backup runner Giovani Bernard saw just one carry and one target in the game. Mixon could end up as a strong RB1 in 2018 if he continues to see the majority of the Bengals' work in the backfield. He will have a tougher matchup in Week 2 on Thursday night against the Ravens.
