Williams, i'm fine with. If Evans and Brown had more totes, i'd bet on them producing similarly. Hard to say they're bad when they're not really used.

I was on the 'let Mixon go' train before this season. I'm now on the 'Mixon is playing better now--they're just not using him as much' train. 

Mixon is a bit unclear right now. He had two strong performances - including one very strong performance week one - but has been uninspiring the other three games. He has slid back down the boards as far as breaking tackles and generating yards after contact which has been his issue his whole career. Here is a chart that plots out his elusiveness by season, so you can see where he stands relative to his career...



Here is Mixon's elusiveness by week so far this season...



So, after starting off fairly well, Mixon is back down near the bottom of the league in generating missed tackles and yards after contact. There is still plenty of ball to be played, and the Bengals run offense in general is a bit uninspiring, but he has largely been the same guy he has always been aside from a couple of strong games so far. Hopefully he can get back to what he was doing early on.
