STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Mixon's 626-yard rookie season underperformed second-round expectations.

Joe Mixon (2017, Round 2, CIN) finished with 178 carries for 626 yards and 4 touchdowns, plus 30 receptions for 287 yards in his rookie season; despite second-round draft capital, his 626 rushing yards fell well below elite rookie standards, exemplifying the risk that even premium draft picks can underdeliver in fantasy production.
