If you have to excuse a RB's performance because their OL wasn't good, then they're not a RB worth paying. The only RBs worth paying are ones that can transcend the lack of talent around them. Mixon is not one of those players.
There's no OL that has ever been graded enough to "allow" a RB to go for over 2,000 yards at 6.0 YPC... but Adrian Peterson did it anyway, with CHRISTIAN PONDER as his QB, coming off an ACL and MLC tear in Week 16 the season before.
They're not the same caliber of player. Don't pay sub-prime RBs.

Plus it doesn't matter who your OL is. If you have 693 carries and 0 of them are 20+ yard TDs, that is telling something about the RB, not the blockers. You just don't have the vision or top end speed to break it.
So your position is that unless your RB is superman on steroids who can run through steam rollers with no help he's just not worth the asking price.. Well that makes perfect sense in a fantasy brain..
