BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~25 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~36
ANALYSIS: Joe Mixon is currently being drafted behind backs like Jahmyr Gibbs, Breece Hall, and Travis Etienne Jr. At his current ADP, I have to tell you that he is such a steal right now! He literally finished as the RB9 in half-PPR PPG last year, scoring 14 PPG. Since then, the team lost backup running back Samaje Perine in free agency and signed run-blocking extraordinaire Orlando Brown Jr. from the Chiefs. This signing will significantly upgrade their offensive line, and his ADP has still dropped eight spots from where he finished last year. Make it make sense.
Excluding his rookie season, Mixon has never averaged fewer than 19 touches per game or 89 scrimmage yards per game. That’s dating back to 2018, five straight seasons averaging at least 19 touches and 89 scrimmage yards every single game. That’s crazy! Over 17 games at minimum, you’re looking at 323 touches and 1,513 scrimmage yards.
Oh, and did I mention he plays for the Bengals? They finished seventh in points scored last year and eighth in yards gained. All this was with the team missing superstar receiver Ja'Marr Chase for a few weeks. The Cincinnati offense will give Mixon plenty of scoring opportunities, evidenced by last season. He finished sixth among running backs with the most red zone touches and had the fifth-most carries inside the five-yard line.
