Joe Mixon

Mixon has played 63-78% of the snaps, averaging 16.5 touches and 84 total yards. He has a 13.8% Target share, a 45.5% route run per team dropback rate, and 1.51 YPRR. Mixon ranks 13th in yards after contact per attempt and 25th in elusive rating. Mixon is primed for a monster day. The Rams have allowed the seventh-highest explosive run rate, the eighth-highest yards after contact per attempt, and the highest yards per carry in the NFL to zone runs (6.9 ypc). Half of Mixon's runs have come on zone plays. Week 3 Positional Value: Top-shelf RB1

In a hard-fought battle against the Ravens, Joe Mixon, the 27-year-old workhorse for the Cincinnati Bengals, put up a respectable performance, but couldn't find the endzone in Week 2.

Fantasy Impact

Mixon carried the rock 13 times for 59 yards and added 4 receptions for 36 yards on 5 targets. Despite the Bengals' 27-24 loss, Mixon's versatility was on full display, showing his ability to contribute both on the ground and through the air. His longest rush of 14 yards and a 32-yard reception highlighted his big-play potential. However, the lack of touchdowns continues to be a concern for Mixon's fantasy managers. Currently ranked as RB18 for the week and RB20 for the season, Mixon's value remains steady, but his managers will be hoping for more scoring opportunities against the Rams in Week 3. His consistent volume and dual-threat ability keep him in the RB2 conversation, but the endzone drought needs to end for him to truly shine.
