It was a tale of two halves for Mixon in 2019. In Weeks 1-8, he limped to a 101-320-0 rushing line on a team that was 0-8 and going nowhere fast. The line was horrendous, and with teammates dropping like flies, Mixon quickly became the main threat on offense. This all makes his Weeks 10-17 that much more impressive. Coming out of the team's Week 9 bye, the Bengals gave Mixon a season high 32 touches, nearly doubling any single game total from earlier in the year. He would go on to rack up a 177-817-5 line during those final 8 games, finishing as one of the hottest fantasy players in the league.
As he enters his 4th year in the NFL, we know what Mixon brings to the table. He's the rare three-down workhorse back that is powerful, quick, and elusive. The offense around him is in line for a massive upgrade, as 2019 1st round tackle Jonah Williams, and veteran A.J. Green return healthy. With an improved offensive line and a more threatening passing game, Mixon should have much more space to operate. If this offense can gel, Mixon has a shot to repeat his efficiency numbers of 2018 when he rushed for nearly 5 yards-per-carry and caught 43 passes. He finished as a top-10 fantasy running back in that season, and should be poised to do it again.

 Joe Mixon Out for Week 11
No timetable for return
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Nov 20, 1:49 pm
|  | Zac confirms Joe Mixon is out this week. Making no predictions on timeline going forward. (Jay Morrison on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It's another week of Giovani Bernard and Samaje Perine at running back for the Bengals. Mixon last played in Week 6 but came down with a foot injury and has no timetable for a return. Bernard is a viable RB2 in PPR leagues but expect Perine to get 8-10 touches against Washington.
| Joe Mixon Doubtful for Week 10
Missed practice on Friday
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Nov 13, 2:00 pm
| | Zac Taylor says Joe Mixon (foot) is doubtful for Sunday.
Geno Atkins is out for personal reasons. (Paul Dehner Jr. on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Another missed week for Mixon which is disappointing coming off the Bengals bye. Expect Giovani Bernard to handle most of the work with Samaje Perine mixed in against the Steelers. Given the difficult matchup, Gio is the RB2 territory for Week 10.
| Joe Mixon in danger to miss Week 8?
Foot injury
By: Doug Orth | Mon Oct 26, 5:30 pm
| | Bengals RB Joe Mixon (foot) is out today and he’s considered week-to-week with this injury, meaning he could miss next vs. the #Titans too, source said. It’s Gio Bernard at RB until Mixon makes his way back. (NFL Network - Ian Rapoport)
FFToday's Take: With Cincinnati sitting at 1-5-1 and looking at a Week 9 bye, it makes little sense for the Bengals to bring Mixon back before he feels right again. Giovani Bernard produced 96 total yards and a touchdown in his absence in Week 7, although he was largely unsuccessful as a rusher (13 carries, 37 yards). Another reason to sit Mixon: the Bengals are unlikely to hang with the Titans.
| Joe Mixon out for Week 7 with foot injury
Giovani Bernard becomes viable RB2
By: Mike Krueger | Fri Oct 23, 12:01 pm
| | Bengals' RB Joe Mixon ruled out of Sunday's game vs. Browns. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Mixon left last week's game with a foot injury but later returned and finished the game. With Mixon out against the Browns look for Giovani Bernard, Trayveon Williams and Samaje Perine all to be active this week. Gio is the obvious fantasy play, checking in as a viable RB2.
| Joe Mixon misses practice Wednesday
Foot injury
By: Mike Krueger | Wed Oct 21, 1:00 pm
| | Looks like usual Wednesday vet days for Dunlap and Atkins.
Joe Mixon is not practicing but is out here watching. (Jay Morrison on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Mixon left for a short bit in Week 6 with a foot injury but eventually returned. His practice status will be monitored closely throughout the week. Giovani Bernard would get a bump if Mixon were to miss Week 7 against the Browns.
| Joe Mixon added to injury report, listed as Questionable
Chest injury
By: Mike Krueger | Sat Oct 3, 10:33 am
| | Joe Mixon popped up as a late add to the injury report with a chest injury today. He’s listed as questionable. This is obviously concerning, so look for an expanded role for Giovani Bernard or perhaps needing to take on the whole thing against the Jaguars. (Paul Dehner Jr. on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Just what we need, another high-profile player dealing with an injury. Fantasy owners will need to keep an eye on Mixon's status tomorrow morning.
| Bengals, Joe Mixon agree on four-year contract extension
Missed practices with migraines
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Sep 1, 2:45 pm
| | Bengals and RB Joe Mixon reached agreement on a four-year contract extension that ties him to Cincinnati for five more seasons, per source. Still going over language to finalize deal. (Adam Schefter on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: Mixon is still just 24 years old heading into his fourth season in the league. He finished as the RB13 and RB10 the last two seasons in PPR leagues. He's missed some practice time recently with migraines, but a new contract is likely to cure those quickly.
| Joe Mixon missing practices
Dealing with migranes
By: Doug Orth | Thu Aug 27, 6:50 pm
| | Bengals RB Joe Mixon - who hasn’t practiced in recent days and wasn’t spotted on the field Wednesday - has been dealing with migraines, source said. Optimism he’ll be back soon, with contract talks ongoing … (NFL Network - Tom Pelissero)
FFToday's Take: There is some skepticism that Mixon is using migraines as a way to hold out without actually holding out, but that's all it appears to be. The fourth-year back is well-positioned to enjoy a huge season in reality as well as fantasy with Joe Burrow pulling the trigger and a plethora of quality receivers capable of stretching the field. Assuming he can get his migranes under control, he should be well worth a pick at the end of the first round of fantasy drafts.
