Bengals' Joe Mixon not expected to see more snaps in Week 2

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon is unlikely to get more playing time in Thursday night's matchup against the Houston Texans.

What It Means:

The Cincinnati Enquirer believes that the only way Mixon receives more snaps is if the Bengals sustain a long drive during his time in the running back rotation. Last week, Mixon drew 22 snaps but trailed Giovani Bernard's 29. Jeremy Hill saw 10 snaps and is in line to be the third-most productive back of the three.

While Mixon isn't expected to see more time, we do project him for more rushes (10.1), yards (35.0) and FanDuel points (9.6) in Week 2. Facing a tough Texans defense, he'll run you $5,400 tonight.
