2022 Fantasy Outlook
In terms of raw yardage and efficiency, 2021 was a fairly typical season for Mixon. His 1,519
scrimmage yards were a career high, but by less than 60 yards over his previous best, while 4.1
yards per carry matched his 2019 performance. What changed for Mixon, and indeed for the
whole Bengals franchise, was the emergence of QB Joe Burrow. With the young quarterback
leading the way and challenging defenses, Mixon got more high-value touches. He finished the
year tied for eighth in red-zone carries with 42 and tied for fourth in red-zone rushing touchdowns with 12, and he faced eight-man fronts just 18.8 percent of the time, one of the lower rates in the league. Mixon still possesses a solid all-around skill set, but he's not quite one of the game's elite backs and still doesn't get consistent third-down work even though he's a capable pass catcher. Fortunately, the offense around him could take another step forward, as
Cincinnati spent big money in the offseason to shore up its offensive line by adding Alex Cappa,
La'el Collins and Ted Karras. While those signings were largely geared toward keeping Burrow
upright, Mixon should also find more running room behind them. If he stays healthy and creeps
back toward the 4.9 yards per carry he managed in 2018, another career year could be in the
cards. Read Past Outlooks

Has charge dismissed
Mixon's charge of aggravated menacing was dismissed by the Hamilton County (Ohio) Municipal Court on Friday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports
ANALYSIS
An arrest warrant was issued for Mixon on Thursday, after which the Bengals released a statement: "The club is aware misdemeanor charges have been raised against Joe Mixon. The club is investigating the situation and will not comment further at this time." While the initial charge now isn't actionable, the presiding judge of the court said it could be refiled after further investigation. As such, Mixon doesn't appear to be out of the woods yet on the legal front, meaning punishment from the NFL remains a possibility.

2017
Mixon started 2020 on pace for another solid campaign. With Joe Burrow adding some life to the passing game, defenses couldn't stack the box, and the 24-year-old averaged better than 23 touches a game and appeared headed for his first season with 1,500 scrimmage yards. Then Mixon injured his foot and didn't play another game after Week 6, as the Bengals decided there was no need to rush him back once Burrow also went down. When he's 100 percent healthy, Mixon is an elusive and powerful runner with reliable hands, and while he doesn't have any elite traits that would give him a superstar ceiling, there's also no obvious weakness. The biggest issue so far in his career has been an offensive environment that prevents him from fully maximizing his potential. Cincinnati has added foundation pieces at the skill positions in recent drafts, but the team's offensive line was among the worst in the league last year, and the defense wasn't much better. Mixon has only Samaje Perine, Trayveon Williams and sixth-round rookie Chris Evans as competition in the backfield now that Gio Bernard is in Tampa, but the O-line doesn't inspire confidence even after adding 32-year-old Riley Reiff and second-round pick Jackson Carman.
