Call me crazy, but I think I’m hopping back on the Joe Mixon hype train. 🚂

Would you believe that Mixon was the RB10 at the time of his injury? 🤯

He should be an RB1 in 2021 and I’m loving his early-second round ADP.

[THREAD] 👇
Given his shortened preseason, “migraines," 🤑 and playing with a rookie quarterback, he was exceeding my expectations.

Don’t forget, Mixon got off to a slow start in 2019 too:

🔸RB36 through the first half of the season
🔸RB4 through the second half
A slow start to 2020 was expected again in 2020, but his soft fantasy playoff schedule was what made him desirable.

In the one top-10 matchup that Mixon had this season, he steamrolled the Jaguars for 181 SCRIMMAGE YARDS AND 3 TOUCHDOWNS 🥵
Prior to the injury, Mixon was averaging 20.2 carries per game, which would come out to 232 on the year.

Only one player had more than 232 yards this year...

Derrick Henry.
The Bengals committed 💰 $48M 💰 to Mixon and I’d be happy taking him as my RBI strictly on volume alone.
Mixon's ADP is tough to project.

If he's falling outside of the first round this year, he’s an absolute steal in my opinion.

Now, heading into his fifth year at just 24-years-old🤯, Mixon is primed to be an RB1 behind a Joe Burrow-led offense.

Joe Mixon: RB1 😎
