Cincinnati Bengals second-round rookie running back Joe Mixon is likely to see over 20 touches per game in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens, suggested Bengals.com's Geoff Hobson.
"I think you have to think about him as a 15-to-20-carry-a-game guy with three to five catches. Right away. Sept. 10. Vs. Baltimore," Hobson wrote. It remains to be seen how Giovani Bernard and Jeremy Hill factor into the equation in the Bengals' backfield, but Mixon is easily the most talented of the three.
numberFire's models project Mixon to rush 156.4 times for 596.1 yards and 5.62 touchdowns this season while adding 48.0 receptions with 377.5 yards and 1.81 touchdowns through the air.
