Bengals | Joe Mixon struggled after contact Tue Feb 27, 12:53 AM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon averaged only 1.4 yards after contact this past season.
| Footballguys view: Mixon is not the same player he used to be. That's evident from watching film, and it's clear in this statistical category. Mixon has a cap hit of $8.8 million, but there's only $2.7 million remaining in dead money. The Bengals should keep him around for one more season. |

Bengals | Joe Mixon hits triple digits in finale Sun Jan 7, 06:37 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon ended up with 14 carries for a game-high 111 yards and a touchdown in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, while posting a 6-yard touchdown catch on his only reception with two targets.
| Footballguys view: Mixon is only due $2.2 million in salary next season, but he has a $3 million roster bonus due in mid-March. He had a resurgence this year and probably secured a spot on the team, but if not, 2023 fifth-round pick Chase Brown would be in line to start. |

WR Ja'Marr Chase (shoulder), RB Joe Mixon (illness), QB Jake Browning (foot) and WR Trenton Irwin (hamstring) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Chase is safe to put in Week 18 lineups, and should get a lot of targets with Higgins likely out. The Bengals will be playing a Browns team that will rest key starters ahead of a wild card weekend showdown at the AFC South champion. |

Mixon is only due a little over $2 million in salary next year, but he does have a roster bonus of $3 million due on the fourth day of the league year, which begins on March 13. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon rushed 21 times for 79 yards and a touchdown in Week 14 against the Indianapolis Colts, while posting three receptions for 46 yards on four targets.
| Footballguys view: Mixon almost had another score, but Jake Browning ended up finishing the drive on the next play. The introduction of Browning has actually been good for Mixon's value, even though rookie Chase Brown is getting more work and making an impact. Mixon will be in lineups as a strong RB2 next week against the Vikings with the Bengals very much in the playoff picture. |

| Footballguys view: Mixon was the only Bengals to come through this game unscathed for fantasy, but we can't expect that to continue with Burrow out for the season. He'll probably still be a low ceiling RB2 on volume alone, but scoring opportunities and big workloads will be down greatly. |

Bengals | Joe Mixon coming up short as a receiver Wed Oct 18, 03:42 AM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon has recorded a drop on a league-high 19 percent of his 21 targets in 2023, according to Pro Football Reference.
| Footballguys view: The Bengals are one of the six teams on bye this week. When they return from their break, the team should consider using other options when they want to get passes to the backs out of the backfield. No other back on the roster has great receiving stats, so perhaps using more of the tight ends or slot receivers would be an answer for them. If they do want someone to catch passes out of the backfield, then we could see a guy like RB Trayveon Williams get more work. |

Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon rushed 13 times for a team-best 56 yards in Week 1 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding three grabs for 17 yards on his five targets.
| Footballguys view: Mixon wasn't truly a bright spot, but at least he wasn't a primary reason the Bengals offense struggled mightily at Cleveland. He didn't have as much competition for snaps and touches with Samaje Perine gone, but he and the Bengals will face another stiff test when the Ravens come to town next week. |

Bengals | Joe Mixon agrees to reworked deal Sat Jul 15, 01:15 AM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon has agreed to a restructured contract that includes a base salary of just under $6 million in 2023 and the chance to earn as much as $8 million with incentives, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Everyone saw this coming, and it was just a matter of time before the Bengals approached Mixon about restructuring his contract. He was scheduled to make more than $9 million this season before agreeing to the reworked deal. Now, there's no need to concern yourself with the "what if" in the Bengals' backfield. Mixon is the lead back, and even though he's not explosive as he used to be, he should wear down opponents and set up play-action opportunities for superstar QB Joe Burrow. We see Mixon as a mid-range RB2 for Fantasy GMs. |
Joe Mixon player page
Bengals | Joe Mixon lacking explosion Thu Jul 13, 12:26 AM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon has recorded runs of 10-plus yards on just 8.4 percent of his carries since 2021, which ranks 40th among 46 running backs during that span.
| Footballguys view: At this point in his career, nobody should be looking at Mixon as an explosive player - those are the wideouts on this offense. Instead, Mixon is there to do the heavy lifting and soften up a defense. His hard-nosed style also sets up play-action opportunities for QB Joe Burrow. Mixon will need to re-work his contract to stay with the team, something we're expecting to see before the start of the regular season. |

Bengals | Mixon/Team Want Resolution Sooner Rather Than Later Thu Jul 6, 01:50 PM
Paul Dehner, from The Athletic, reports both the Cincinnati Bengals and RB Joe Mixon want a resolution to his contract situation 'sooner rather than later.'
| Footballguys view: We'll see what kind of pay cut Mixon has to take to stay with the team. Most believe that Mixon will agree to the cut, but nobody yet knows how much they want to trim from his $12.7 million cap hit. If Mixon refuses and the team moves on, rookie RB Chase Brown is a player Fantasy GMs are excited about. Veteran RB Trayveon Williams is also there to get more opportunities if needed. We may not have a decision on this until we're well into training camp and the preseason. |

Bengals | RB Mixon Headed for Salary Adjustment? Mon Jun 19, 04:54 PM
Cincinnati Bengals RB Joe Mixon may be headed for a "salary adjustment" according to The Athletic's Paul Dehner Jr.
| Footballguys view: Things have been trending this way for some time. The Bengals did not spend a premium pick on a running back in the 2023 NFL draft, but they did add RB Chase Brown out of Illinois in the fifth round. Mixon is their best option at the position, and the team still likes what he can do for them, but he'll need to adjust his salary from the current $12.8 million cap hit. |

Bengals | Zac Taylor still in Joe Mixon's corner Mon May 1, 01:38 AM
Cincinnati Bengals Joe Mixon's legal status may still be up in the air, but head coach Zac Taylor told reporters Saturday, April 29, that Mixon's 'future is here with the team.'
| Footballguys view: The Bengals lost RB Samaje Perine (Broncos) in free agency, and without an early-round running back added in the draft, it looks like Mixon will stay with the Bengals for the 2023 season. They did add Chase Brown (Illinois) in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL draft, and he has the potential to be a lead back in the future. For this season, it looks like Mixon's show...but he may need to take a pay cut. He's got a 2023 cap hit of $12.7 million with $5.5 million remaining in dead money. |
