Despite a weak supporting cast which lost starting quarterback Andy Dalton after Week 12, Mixon showed well in his sophomore campaign. He finishes 2018 with 1,168 rushing yards, 43 catches, 296 receiving yards, and nine total touchdowns in 14 games. Mixon will be a low-end RB1 in 2019 with the potential for top-six numbers if the Bengals improve the offense around him.

The Cleveland defense keyed in on stopping Mixon and were able to do so without much trouble. The second-year running back will be an RB2 for the season finale against the Steelers.

Joe Mixon is not on the Bengals' final injury report and is "good to go" for Week 16's game against the Browns, according to Richard Skinner.

Fantasy Impact

Mixon had been battling a thigh injury, but it did not seem like he was in real danger of missing this game. He's been electric lately, and should easily see upwards of 20 touches on Sunday. He's a must-start option, without question.

Joe Mixon was limited Thursday by a thigh and a wrist injury.

Fantasy Impact

Mixon was listed as limited with only the wrist injury Wednesday, so it's interesting to see the thigh added Thursday. While no injury news is good, this could still be a non factor given that he remains limited. Still, the addition of the thigh injury and the continued limited practice status means that owners should monitor Mixon's status ahead of the team's Week 16 game against the Browns. If Mixon were to miss the game for whatever reason Giovani Bernard would be in line to start and has shown that he carries high upside if given the volume.

Fantasy Impact

This isn't expected to be something serious, but it's worth monitoring through the week. Mixon has been fantastic over the last two weeks, and that could continue to be the case this weekend against the Browns. Mixon gets it done on the ground and through the air, and with the team's offense continuing to see injuries there should be an even larger touch total for Mixon this weekend.
