Fantasy Football Player Notes

Mixon will be out until at least Week 14 after being placed on IR with his foot sprain. His slow recovery has been frustrating for him and the Bengals, but if his fantasy managers remain in contention, he seems likely to contribute down the stretch.

Joe Burrow has heavily targeted the tight end position early in his young career, and with C.J. Uzomah lost for the season, Sample should have a fairly big role. He saw nine targets in Week 2 against the Browns, and although he's unlikely to come close to that number again (unless Burrow again makes 61 pass attempts), he should be a streamable option in the right matchup.
