I dont. I think the Oline issues are news and things people should be aware of before making a decision.I feel like the O-line issues are a bit overstated.
This I totally agree with. I think it is worth pointing out that Mixon averaged 4.9 yards per carry despite the Bengals offensive line being below average last season. Mixon is a good player with a ton of talent, still in the early developmental stage of his career who just turned 23 years old last month.Sure, it would have been great to have no injuries at this point, but he's not really in any worse of a situation than he was last year when he put up plenty of numbers. He should also be in a better schemed offense for his talent (we hope). Besides, most O-lines are mediocre, lacking depth or whatever. His situation is hardly unique.
I’m not too sure if it’s slipping. It seems they extended his contract due to the injury to Anderson. This came right after his injury seems more like an insurance signing more than anything.Bernard signed to money deal (2yr/10.3MM)...
Mixon stock slipping....
Bernard owner here and a bitBernard signed to money deal (2yr/10.3MM)...

I feel you on this to a degree, I have both Mixon and Bernard and was hoping they let Bernard go.Bernard owner here and a bit
Ummm for what options?On my bench tomorrow. Feel good about it
Bengals coach Zac Taylor said Joe Mixon has an ankle sprain.
Mixon looks to have a low-grade sprain after getting rolled up on in Week 1. The Bengals are calling it a day to day injury. It sounds like Mixon is going to miss some practice time. Giovanni Bernard had a workhorse role after Mixon went down and would be on the RB2 map if Mixon ends up sitting this week.

Coach Zac Taylor said Joe Mixon (ankle) remains day to day.
Taylor hinted Mixon may not practice much this week but could still play against the 49ers. He said the goal is just to get Mixon ready in time for Sunday. It could be a week full of DNPs ahead of a game-time decision for Mixon. Giovani Bernard would be an RB2 in the event Mixon is unable to play.

Joe Mixon (ankle) is questionable for the Bengals' Week 2 matchup against the 49ers.
The good news is that Mixon returned to practice Friday. He's dealing with a low-grade sprain, but clearly the Bengals' featured back is operating at less than 100%. We tentatively expect Mixon to suit up Sunday, although it'd be unwise to assume he reaches 20-plus touches and has his usual role. Giovani Bernard would be in play as a rock-solid RB2 if Mixon is ultimately sidelined. Gio would be a thin flex option at best with Mixon in the lineup.

According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Joe Mixon (questionable, ankle) "plans" to play Week 2 against the 49ers but will test out his sprained ankle in pre-game warmups first.
Mixon got in a limited practice Friday and was present for Saturday's walkthrough, tentatively putting him on track to play Sunday. It's a quick turnaround for a sprained ankle, though Mixon's sprain was apparently of the lesser variety. Barring a pre-game setback, we'd expect him to lead the backfield Sunday when the Bengals host San Francisco. With Mixon likely to gut it out, fantasy owners hoping to employ Giovani Bernard as a plug-and-play RB2 will have to look elsewhere.

I've really gone back and forth between the two. Reality is, neither of us are probably in good shapeI'm going with Montgomery over him, so you're in great shape.
Wish I could flex Mixon- I'm benching Davis, , and Sutton...I may go with the Unicorn over Mixon in one of two flex spots. Mostert, Corey Davis are other options. Not sure I can ever start Davis again.
I've got DJ, Mack and Duke.Wish I could flex Mixon- I'm benching Davis, , and Sutton...
Very thin at rb with Henderson sucking and Guice IRed
SameGuys, it's week 2 and Mixon is playing on a low grade sprain. How do you bench him already? He was probably your 2nd round pick. It's y'alls team but just seems like paralysis by analysis benching your starting RB in week 2. If he was hurt that bad, wouldn't they sit him? I'm starting with confidence.
I'm not sold one way or the other yet but when the player says they want to test it before the game, alarm bells start to go off. I don't actually give a #### what round I drafted him in. I only care if he is able to play effectively.Guys, it's week 2 and Mixon is playing on a low grade sprain. How do you bench him already? He was probably your 2nd round pick.

You're right. And I am starting him, but not terribly confident. If I had an option to bench him in my flex I probably do.Guys, it's week 2 and Mixon is playing on a low grade sprain.

Joe Mixon rushed 11 times for 17 yards and caught three passes for 10 yards in Week 2 against the 49ers.
Mixon was a game-time decision after missing practice time with a low-ankle sprain. He looked healthy, but offensive line issues and the Bengals abandoning the run after going down early worked against him. Cincinnati may continue to take it easy on Mixon in practice, but he should see his normal workload for a matchup with Buffalo in Week 3.

Lol ... really?What a mistake drafting this bum. Could've had Cook.
