Joe Mixon manages 72 yards as Bengals tie Eagles
Cincinnati Bengals running back rushed 17 times for 49 yards and caught 2 passes (3 targets) for 16 yards in a 23-23, Week 3 tie with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Mixon was the only Bengals running back to log a carry and he now has at least 19 touches in all three games this season. The unfourtnate part for fantasy owners is that Mixon is the only player in the league with 45-plus carries to be scoreless or have less than 175 rushing yards. He's only adding 17.0 receiving yards on 3.0 targets per game with Giovani Bernard more involved in the passing game. Mixon will likely be an inefficient workhorse again in Week 4 versus a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that is allowing 3.8 yards per carry to opposing running backs.
Mixon scored 7.5 FanDuel points in Week 3 and is averaging 7.9 FanDuel points per game this season. On Sunday, he averaged the fifth-fewest FanDuel points per opportunity among any running back with at least 20 opportunities in a game this season. He also averaged the fourth-fewest in Week 1 under those same parameters. The Jaguars currently rank 6th against the run in numberFire's advanced defensive metrics.
