Joe Mixon Cools Off In Week 13; Dealing With A Neck Issue
3 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (neck) added another touchdown in Week 13 versus the Chargers, extending his current scoring streak to nine games. However, his 19 carries for 54 yards were a far cry from what fantasy managers witnessed during Cincy's previous bout against the Steelers, where he finished with 165 yards and two touchdowns off 28 touches. Even worse, the former Sooner revealed he sustained a neck injury against Los Angeles, which is certainly never a good thing. As a result, Mixon's status moving ahead should be monitored, especially since there is a chance he may not be available in Week 14 versus the visiting San Francisco 49ers. If that's the case, Samaje Perine will likely handle most of the work out of the backfield and warrants a roster spot in deeper formats.
