Despite Rough Start, Keep Joe Mixon Going In Week 5
2 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon continues to struggle throughout the 2022-23 campaign. While the former Oklahoma Sooner finally had a rushing touchdown, his failure to rush for 100 yards in a game or his shoddy average of 2.7 yards per carry hasn't given fantasy managers a comfortable feeling from week to week. With that said, there's a reason Mixon was selected early in fantasy drafts heading into the season, so despite his subpar production, managers need to keep him starting in Week 5 against Baltimore, especially since he's due for a breakout. Considering Tee Higgins (ankle) may not play, Mixon may also see extra looks as a pass-catcher.
