Joe Mixon Could Hold Out
5 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is "prepared for a holdout" if he doesn't receive a long-term extension before the start of the 2020 season. Mixon is headed into the final year of his rookie deal and is underpaid after back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons in 2018 and 2019. The 23-year-old had a career-high 278 carries last year for 1,137 rushing yards and five touchdowns, adding 35 receptions for 287 yards and another three touchdowns. A huge second half put Mixon back on the fantasy map as a low-end RB1, and he could come at a nice value in 2020 with many fantasy owners avoiding the lowly Bengals altogether.
