2023 Fantasy Outlook
Mixon had a bizarre offseason off the field, with two odd and concerning anecdotes raising the specter of some kind of legal or NFL penalty, though nothing has developed yet. Assuming Mixon is still on the Bengals and free of suspension, the details beyond that are encouraging for his fantasy value, which has consistently remained at the good-but-not-great level throughout his Cincinnati career. Mixon is not explosive and has seen Joe Burrow claim a huge share of the Bengals' touchdowns in recent years, but rushing volume is essentially assured with Samaje Perine gone to Denver in free agency and no veteran or Day 1/2 draft pick brought in this spring. Mixon caught 102 balls the last two years even with Perine taking a lot of the passing-down work, finishing 2022 with career highs for targets (75), catches (60) and receiving yards (441) in 14 games. Mixon has just one season on record with multiple 40-yard runs or better than 4.1 YPC (both 2018), but steady volume in a high-scoring offense almost always plays well in fantasy, and he could benefit from a blocking upgrade after the Bengals signed 345-pound OT Orlando Brown to a four-year, $64 million contract.

RANKS

Saves day as pass catcher
Mixon rushed the ball eight times for 16 yards in Sunday's 16-10 loss to the Steelers. He added two receptions on two targets for 44 yards.
ANALYSIS
Despite playing most of the game within one score of the Steelers, the Bengals completely abandoned their rushing attack. That's reflected in Mixon's line, though he was utilized regularly as a checkdown option for Jake Browning. That saved his output in Sunday's loss, but his usage does raise concerns for his Week 13 matchup against the Jaguars and for the rest of the season.

2019
2018
2017
In terms of raw yardage and efficiency, 2021 was a fairly typical season for Mixon. His 1,519
scrimmage yards were a career high, but by less than 60 yards over his previous best, while 4.1
yards per carry matched his 2019 performance. What changed for Mixon, and indeed for the
whole Bengals franchise, was the emergence of QB Joe Burrow. With the young quarterback
leading the way and challenging defenses, Mixon got more high-value touches. He finished the
year tied for eighth in red-zone carries with 42 and tied for fourth in red-zone rushing touchdowns with 12, and he faced eight-man fronts just 18.8 percent of the time, one of the lower rates in the league. Mixon still possesses a solid all-around skill set, but he's not quite one of the game's elite backs and still doesn't get consistent third-down work even though he's a capable pass catcher. Fortunately, the offense around him could take another step forward, as
Cincinnati spent big money in the offseason to shore up its offensive line by adding Alex Cappa,
La'el Collins and Ted Karras. While those signings were largely geared toward keeping Burrow
upright, Mixon should also find more running room behind them. If he stays healthy and creeps
back toward the 4.9 yards per carry he managed in 2018, another career year could be in the
cards.
