Joe Mixon Might Not Be Every-Down Player Against Dolphins

This article first appeared on RotoBaller.com.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon (knee), who is returning from a two-week absence, isn’t expected to be an every-down player in Week 5 against the Dolphins. With Giovani Bernard (knee) out, expect rookie Mark Walton to get more carries to keep Mixon fresh. The Bengals will play it cautiously with Mixon, so he profiles as a risky RB2 choice. Walton is really only an RB3/flex consideration in much deeper leagues.
