You guys are overestimating the Mixon injury

It's an eye test thing for me.. Mixon seems to get stopped quite often for such an expensive RB... nor does he get used that much as a receiver.

Mixon is 5th on the team in receptions behind Boyd, Chase, Higgins, and Uzomah.
He's on pace for about 40 targets and 30 receptions.
He's no Kamara, McCaffrey, or even Ekeler when it comes to a receiving threat though.

Henry, Kamara, McCaffrey, and Cook get paid the big bucks because they average typically 1600-2000 total yards rushing and receiving.
Mixon's gonna be more likely to be around 1400-1600 total yards, and that's a big reason he makes less than they do.
