Joe Mixon shreds Vikings in Week 1

by Matthew Adam | Texans Correspondent | Sun, Sep 12th 9:51pm EDT

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon turned in an excellent game in a 27-24 overtime win over the Vikings in Week 1. Mixon carried the ball 29 times for 127 yards and a touchdown while adding 23 yards on four catches.

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon was impressive as the Vikings had no answer for him on the ground. Even better, he saw 29 of the 34 carries that went to Cincy running backs in the contest. If Mixon continues to see this usage and stays healthy, a top-three fantasy season is within reach. He will face the Bears on the road in Week 2.
