Fantasy Football 2018: Thursday Night Football Start Em, Sit Em Week 2
START ‘EM
Running Back. Bengals. Joe Mixon. 1. player. 56.
Joe Mixon was on fire in the Bengals’ 2018 opener and he’ll look to build on that in week two. It won’t be easy, as the Ravens provide a much tougher defensive challenge than the Colts did last week.
With that said, however, Mixon was the second most targeted player for Andy Dalton on offense (behind who else but A.J. Green), so it’s obvious that Dalton trusts Mixon to make plays. Mixon totaled 25.9 points in ESPN leagues after putting up 149 yards from scrimmage with a touchdown to go along with it.
While Baltimore will be a tougher defensive unit to face, there’s no reason to bench Mixon after his incredible outing in week one. Hopefully fantasy owners will continue to see this type of production from him.
