Joe Mixon Not Practicing Friday
4 years agoCincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (foot) is not practicing on Friday. Although the Bengals are calling Mixon day-to-day, this will be his third straight missed practice of the week, which will make him extremely questionable to play in Week 7 against the Browns. The 24-year-old lead back has had at least 16 carries in each game this year and has four total touchdowns (three rushing, one receiving), which makes him a must-start fantasy option with RB1 upside if he plays. However, Mixon would be especially risky this week at less than 100 percent against a Browns Defense that has been middle of the pack against RBs. If Mixon is ruled out, some combination of Giovani Bernard, Samaje Perine and Trayveon Williams would handle backfield work. Bernard would be in consideration as an RB3/flex in deeper leagues.
