Joe Mixon Not Expected To Be Fully Unleashed
6 years agoCincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis doesn't expect to fully unleash running back Joe Mixon (knee) in Week 5 against the Dolphins after he missed some time with his knee injury. Lewis said there will be some limits for Mixon due to his conditioning taking a hit during the rehab process. That means that fourth-round rookie Mark Walton should see more work in the backfield to spell Mixon. Walton had some success in limited touches behind Giovani Bernard the last two weeks, but he won't have standalone fantasy value. Mixon should be seen as an RB2.
