Joe Mixon Fantasy Football Outlook (2025)

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Fri, May 9th 2025, 11:24am EDT

Mixon volume-hogged his way to an RB8 finish last year. He's primed to do it again in 2025. Last year, he ranked 14th in snap share, fifth in opportunity share, 17th in weighted opportunity, and sixth in red zone touches. The efficiency aspect hasn't been there, and I doubt that it will change in 2025 with another year of touches hitting the body odometer. Last year, he ranked 22nd in explosive run rate, 38th in missed tackles forced per attempt, and 29th in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). Woody Marks is Mixon's closest competition in the backfield for volume, which means he'll handle as much as he can this season. Mixon is a solid RB2 with RB1 upside.
