Joe Mixon Still A Must-Start In Week 5

Joe Mixon Still A Must-Start In Week 5

one year ago

Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has only found the end zone once during the 2023-24 campaign. At the same time, he's yet to surpass the 100-yard rushing mark in any game this season. Without question, the 27-year-old isn't the Pro Bowl-caliber player he was from a few seasons ago. But it's hard to keep him out of the lineup, considering he's always capable of having a big performance whenever he's on the field. With this in mind, the Cardinals defense has struggled against opposing running backs this season, allowing eight total touchdowns through the first four weeks. As a result, Mixon has a favorable outlook in Week 5, and he may get more involved if Tee Higgins (ribs) doesn't suit up.
