NInsko 220 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Joe Mixon hasn’t done much to merit his high ADP this season, but the volume has been there. He’s off to a very familiar start, with only 27 points through three games again and no touchdowns in 2020. However, he’s had at least 19 touches in every game thus far, putting him on pace for 315 total. The touchdowns will come and he will continue to get stronger as the season goes; last season, he averaged 27 touches a game during the last four games, with 5 touchdowns in the last eight games. Owners won’t be willing to part with Mixon for just anything, but send an offer and try to find a middle ground. If you need an RB1 for the price of an RB2, then ok no further than Mixon. This is something i found while looking for positive Mixon news. Hope he's right. Edited October 1, 2020 by NInsko 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Goatstain3 1,331 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 His lack of use in the passing game, is the most mystifying of Mixon's issues. The only thing Gio has on JM, is that he's shorter. I know that's not really a benefit, but was all I could come up with. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only thing Gio has on JM, is that he's shorter. I know that's not really a benefit, but was all I could come up with. Exactly, his lack of use in the passing game is the concern. We all know how bad Cincy's O-line is, but then not involving him in the passing game is mind-boggling. In PPR that's the frustration. He's not even getting that part of the offense, regardless of his lack of rushing yardage. Burrow is being hurried, yet Mixon is not getting the ball. It's just all kinds of weird. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sSektor 2,255 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Can't bench him this week but I'm further demoting him from the RB2 to the Flex spot to light a fire under his a** (even though the lack of production isn't his fault). 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

HOF12 348 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 This just reminds me of the year mike McCarthy didn’t want to give Aaron jones the ball. #freejoemixon It’s sad they have invested so little into the O line and play calling is so trash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2014olympicgold 112 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 It's almost like you have to sit him for the first 4-5 games of the season then start him when they realize "oh yeah, we have one of the top RBs in the league. We should use him" 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Like if you were on the fringe of not making it, it could give you a boost? I thought about that, but that’s not what he wrote. ”Looking further into it, Mixon will end the fantasy regular season with a game against Washington or New York (depending on your league's schedule) and then begin the fantasy playoffs with games against New York, Miami, and Dallas (again, depending on your league's schedule). Obviously, a lot can change with injury and performance of those defenses over time, but, if you're confident that your team can make the postseason, Mixon could be a strong contributor for you in Weeks 11-14.“ The Bengals play Washington in week 11 and NYG in week 12...Miami in week 13 and Dallas in week 14.

FavreCo 425 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 OL blows but you can adjust your play calling to compensate. The problem is in the NFL there are way too many idiots coaching at a level 10 pay grades above their abilities. One of the most blatant examples in NFL history: Case in point, 2007 Frank Gore. The team had just lost their 7th straight game. Gore was a stud but completely misused. Runs up the gut, few passes to him. The idiot OC at that time was Jim Hostler. BTW, he was the passing game coordinator in 2018 for the Packers. Yeah, they sucked. Anyway, the team called in a previous coach (retired, living in AZ) to see if he could teach this bum how to make a game plan. End result was Gore went 21-216-2 TDs and 11-98 receiving and they beat the SB bound Cardinals. Try to guess what happened after the guy went back home. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/G/GoreFr00/gamelog/ This type of suckage is rampant in the NFL. A properly run bootleg is an easy score for a QB. You never see it anymore. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
