Joe Mixon Healthy And Working Out
4 years agoCincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that running back Joe Mixon (foot) is healthy and has been working out after playing in just six games in 2020 due to a foot injury. Mixon had 1,100-plus yards and 13 total rushing touchdowns in 2018 and 2019 before rushing for only 428 yards and three touchdowns in six games last year. The 24-year-old was still the team's leading rusher last season despite missing the final 10 contests of the year. Cincinnati will need a healthy Mixon in the backfield with young quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) coming off an ACL tear in his rookie campaign. Mixon is a dual-threat running back in an offense that should continue to get better, but a poor offensive line may give some fantasy managers cause for concern. Needless to say, Mixon could be an excellent value in 2021 drafts after his injury plagued 2020 season.
