Joe Mixon

Fantasy Impact

Mixon pieced together a decent game but wasn't on the field for Cincy's final two plays of the contest as the Bengals instead turned to Samaje Perine. His evening was salvaged by his touchdown pass, which came on a trick play in the second quarter. Mixon's 2021 will be remembered as the season where he finally capitalized on all of his potential. Locked into a workhorse role for the Bengals, Mixon will be a solid RB1 in 2022.

The veteran running back didn't have a huge game and he was vultured by Samaje Perine, who caught a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow in the game. Mixon has been an integral piece in a dangerous Cincinnati offense this season and has been handling heavy workloads for the Bengals in the playoffs. He will now play in his first Super Bowl as he waits to see whether he will take on the Rams or the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Mixon saw the majority of the backfield work but was unable to get much going against the Las Vegas defense, although he salvaged his day with his contribution in the passing attack. Despite the slow outing, Mixon will remain a top-tier fantasy running back for the Divisional Round next week.

Joe Mixon has tested positive for COVID-19 and will not play in Sunday's season finale against the Browns.

Fantasy Impact

The Bengals have nothing to play for anyway with the AFC North title wrapped up, so it was possible that Mixon would have sat regardless. The team has had several positive tests over the last day or two, so fantasy managers should brace themselves for more. But, in the meantime, those playing into Week 18 should add Samaje Perine to their rosters.
