Joe Mixon's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler says that Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon and defensive tackle BJ hill are among the team's potential salary cap casualties this offseason, even though Mixon totaled 1,034 rushing yards and nine touchdowns in 2023. If the Bengals were to cut Mixon, they'd save $5.8 million for the salary cap. After re-negotiating his deal last year, the 27-year-old is scheduled for an $8.85 million cap hit in 2024 in the final year of his deal. He's due a $3 million roster bonus on March 18, so we'll know by then if he'll be back with Cincinnati. In total, Mixon had 1,410 scrimmage yards and 12 touchdowns, making him the RB7 in half-PPR scoring in the 2023 regular season. As he gets closer to 30 years old, Mixon's days as an RB1 in fantasy could be coming to an end soon, especially if he leaves Cincy.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon ran the ball 14 times for 111 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Browns. He caught just one of two targets. However, it was good enough for another end-zone trip. The former Oklahoma Sooner hit the 100-yard rushing mark for the first time this year, and his efforts in Week 18 resulted in the fourth 1,000-yard rushing season of his career. But with the regular season in the books, the question remains whether Mixon will return to Cincinnati next season. He was almost released in the offseason. But he took a pay cut to stay with the team and finished the year with 12 touchdowns. Overall, Mixon exceeded expectations for fantasy managers. Yet, his outlook for the 2024-25 campaign will hinge on whether he remains in Cincinnati.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of the Week 18 encounter with the Browns. Mixon hasn't hit the 100-yard rushing mark in any game this season. However, he's totaled 10 touchdowns, finding the end zone in eight of his previous 10 games. With the Bengals not going to the playoffs, the former Sooner may not see a full workload. But he has an excellent chance of finding the end zone even if he doesn't log a full 60 minutes against a Browns defense that could rest or limit some of their starters on the defensive end. Mixon also needs just 77 rushing yards for 1,000. As a result, head coach Zac Taylor may allow Mixon to stay out there to attempt to hit that mark for the fourth time in his career, which keeps him in play for any fantasy format.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (illness) sat out of Thursday's practice due to an illness. Mixon should be ready to play by Sunday's Week 18 regular season finale against the Cleveland Browns, but with the Bengals already eliminated from postseason contention, the Bengals could choose to give rookie fifth-rounder Chase Brown and Trayveon Williams more run in the final game of the year. With that hanging over the 27-year-old if he's still under the weather on Sunday, it makes Mixon a much more risky DFS option and RB2 in season-long leagues. On the season as a a whole, Mixon was the RB7 in half-PPR scoring over 16 games with 923 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 243 carries while adding 51 catches for 370 yards and two more scores.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon had 65 yards off 21 attempts in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs. He added four catches for 22 yards and a touchdown. The 27-year-old didn't do much to benefit fantasy managers in the Week 16 meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he certainly made up for it versus Kansas City, scoring his tenth touchdown of the 2023-24 campaign. Unfortunately, the Bengals' hopes of a postseason appearance were crushed after the loss, so there's a chance Mixon won't be on the field for the Week 18 divisional clash with the Cleveland Browns.
