.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) is on the Week 14 injury report and was limited in practice on Wednesday. It's an injury that shouldn't keep him out against the Chargers, but it's worth watching. Mixon remains the team's clear lead back, but his carries have been down in recent weeks with the team falling behind early and often. He'll be more of an RB2 against LA if he's able to play this Sunday. If his injury ends up being serious enough to keep him out, Giovani Bernard would see the lion's share of touches.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon couldn't get it going against the Broncos on Sunday, finishing the day with only 82 yards on 12 attempts in addition to 13 yards on two receptions. It was the fourth week in a row that the sophomore wasn't able to eclipse the 100-yard mark and the second in a row of not finding the end zone. He will have an uphill battle ahead with the team struggling on the offensive side of the ball with some glimpses of hope upcoming against the Raiders and Browns in Weeks 15 and 16 respectively, two teams that have struggled against the run this season.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was one of the few bright spots for the Bengals during the Week 12 loss to the Browns. He rushed 14 times for 89 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 66 yards through the air. It's surprising that Mixon was involved that much with the Bengals being down a ton early in this contest. He should remain heavily involved in the offense against Denver next week.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon wasn't his usual self against a tough Ravens run defense in Week 11, finishing with just 14 yards on 12 carries, but he salvaged the day from a fantasy perspective with a touchdown run and also added 38 receiving yards on three catches. Mixon should look more like the runner we've grown accustomed to against Cleveland in Week 12.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon(knee) has been cleared to play after participating in a full practice session on Friday. Mixon will square off with a Baltimore defense that has stood their ground against opposing backs, allowing only 671 yards and three rushing touchdowns this season. The sophomore ran for an uneventful 84 yards on 21 attempts against the Ravens in Week 2, but with the plethora of injuries on the Cincy roster, expect Mixon to get a bump in production in Week 11.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday after not being on the injury report on Wednesday. It's a little concerning after Mixon missed time with a knee sprain earlier this year, but he should be able to play in Week 11 in a big divisional matchup with the Ravens. Baltimore allows the fewest average fantasy points to running backs (17.2) per week, so it's a stingy matchup for Mixon. However, he's a must-start with RB1 upside each and every week.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was a non-factor during Sunday's blowout loss to the Saints. Mixon carried the ball only 11 times on the day, finishing things up with 61 yards in addition to two receptions for 24 yards. After rushing for two scores against Tampa Bay prior to the team's Week 9 bye, this was a disappointing showing for the sophomore back even though the Bengals' time of possession relegated any chance of fantasy success for the 22-year-old. Cincy will look to get back on track on Sunday in Week 11 against a Ravens team that has only allowed 13.23 fantasy points to opposing backs this season, good for second-best in the league.

Mixon was effective when used Sunday against the Saints, carrying the ball 11 times for 61 yards to go along with two catches for 24 yards.

.Joe Mixon is in the small group of running backs with a guaranteed workload, as evidenced by his 20.7 touches per game (fifth among RB's). However, his recent lack of receiving usage, the return of Giovani Bernard, and a really tough matchup against the Saints all serve to slightly downgrade his fantasy outlook this week. New Orleans ranks third in defensive DVOA against the run and they allow just 95 total yards per game to opposing backfields (second in NFL). Mixon could also fall victim to a negative game script if the Bengals were to fall behind early, as he's averaging just 12 touches per game in losses (compared to 20 touches per game in wins). Consider Mixon more of a high-end RB2 than a locked-in RB1 in Week 10.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns on 21 attempts while catching three balls for 15 yards in Week 8 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs had no answer for the Bengals offense in the first half and Mixon posted his best game of the season. Both of his scores came inside the 10-yard line and Sunday was the first time he breached 100 yards on the ground. Mixon has enjoyed every-down duties over the past four weeks but will likely cede snaps to Giovani Bernard (knee), who is expected to return after the teams bye week. Mixon will be a backend RB1 in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints.

With Cincy having lost their last two, they will look to get back on track against the Bucs in Week 8.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon will have plenty of chances to put up some fantasy points against Kansas City on Sunday night. The Chiefs have struggled against the run for the entire season and are currently the second-worst team overall in fantasy points allowed to opposing backs. With so many injuries on the offensive side of the ball, including tight end Tyler Eifert (ankle), Giovani Bernard (knee), and Tyler Kroft (foot), Mixon should see plenty of targets and touches in what will surely be a high-scoring affair.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon played well in the loss to the Steelers in Week 6. Despite only rushing the ball 11 times for 64 yards, he was able to make amends by finding the end zone, his first score since Week 1, in addition to pulling in four receptions for 20 yards. The sophomore back appears healthy after having knee surgery just a few weeks ago and will continue to be heavily involved in the Cincinnati offense moving forward. However, he will be tested in Week 7 as the Bengals look to bounce back against the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football.

After missing a few games with a knee ailment, Mixon returned and played against the Dolphins, rushing for 93 yards off of 22 carries in addition to pulling in three passes for 22 yards and a score. Though it was believed that the 22-year-old would be eased back into things, Mixon looked better than ever, demonstrating poise and composure while waiting for holes to open. With the team missing so many options on the offensive end, look for the former Sooner to get involved early in Week 6 and finish with plenty of touches against a suspect Pittsburgh defense.

With Giovani Bernard (knee) out, expect rookie Mark Walton to get more carries to keep Mixon fresh. The Bengals will play it cautiously with Mixon, so he profiles as a risky RB2 choice.

.Cincinnati 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.

.Updating previous reports, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) practiced on Wednesday and will play in Week 5 against the Dolphins, according to head coach Marvin Lewis. Mixon had arthroscopic surgery on Sept. 15 and missed two games. While Mixon could be eased back in, he immediately returns to the RB2 map for fantasy owners. Giovani Bernard had been performing for fantasy owners in Mixon's absence, and he'll now go back to change-of-pace duties and won't be more than an RB3/flex option.

Mixon said earlier that he hasn't yet been cleared to play in Week 5 against the Dolphins, but it looks like he will be eventually unless he suffers a setback. It's good news for Mixon owners, as he should be back on the RB2 map if he's active.

.Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee) said he has not yet been cleared for Week 5 against the Dolphins but hopes to be. If he's not cleared, he will "for sure" play in Week 6 against the Steelers. It's looking like the Bengals will hold Mixon out for at least one more week to be safe. Giovani Bernard has done a great job filling in for him in the meantime and would continue to have RB1 upside if Mixon is out again this weekend. For what it's worth, The Cincinnati Enquirer's Paul Dehner Jr. expects Mixon to return this Sunday against the Dolphins. If that happens, it's unclear how the Bengals will split the backfield between Mixon and Bernard.
