By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 28th 2023, 1:05pm EDT

Mixon has seen his workload slightly uptick over the last two weeks. He has played at least 75% of the snaps in each of the last two games, averaging 18.5 touches and 82.5 total yards. Among 59 qualifying backs, Mixon ranks 16th in missed tackles forced per attempt and 18th in yards after contact per attempt. Over the last two games, Mixon ranks 13th-best in route run per team drop back rate, but he ranks 27th in Target share and 31st in YPRR. Tennessee remains a brick wall against running backs. They have allowed the second-lowest explosive run rate, boast the fifth-best stuff rate, and the fifth-lowest yards per carry to zone runs (Mixon 55.6% zone).
