For those of you who read my Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em posts each and every week, you know one of my favorite trends is to have whichever running back gets to go up against the Chiefs defense. Why? Well, because the Chiefs run defense is a dumpster fire.

Sony Michel gashed the Chiefs on the ground last week, T.J. Yeldon had himself a game two weeks ago, and well… You get the idea.

The lucky running back who gets the Chiefs defense this week is Joe Mixon of the Bengals. Mixon and the Bengals will go toe-to-toe with the Chiefs on Sunday night at Arrowhead and it’ll be the first Sunday night primetime action Mixon will have seen in his career.

Mixon has been one of the more surprising players this season in fantasy football and will look to continue that trend against one of the worst run defenses in all of football.
