PositiveValueJul 21, 2026
Mixon is the RB12 on RB5 usage over the past two seasons in 21 games with Joe Burrow active, using half-PPR scoring; in 2025 alone, he was the RB5 on RB4 usage in six games with Burrow. His ADP sits at RB12 in the middle of Round 2, so Mixon has very clear upside if this split continues. The Bengals didn't add RB competition, Mixon is healthy right now, and the Bengals are fourth in projected points according to betting markets. Mixon was the RB8 in rushing success rate in Burrow games and the RB2 in rush yards over expected on carries with three-or-fewer yards to go. The Bengals OL and rushing scheme has improved since Mixon entered the NFL, helping his TD chances. Mixon was the RB6 in receptions per game (4.1) last year and the Bengals don't throw him screens (10% screen rate in Burrow games since 2024), but Burrow is quick to check things down in shootouts. The source expects his rushing numbers to set career highs while his receiving work takes a slight hit—a net win in half-PPR.
