[Whatever]

I was picking in the 10th spot to draft but then I switched to ninth because I want to make sure that I grab Mixon in the first round.

I only bring that up because Mixon has not scored a TD in 6 of 8 games against the Steelers, but I just noticed that he did score two against them last season and averaged 127.5 yards a game against them at 5.5 per carry.

The Steelers defense should be a lot better this year but so should our line, which not only helps with run blocking but also pass blocking, which makes Mixon's life a lot easier because defenses won't be able to load the box.

Will Mixon go off against the Steelers in the opening week?

It's supposed to rain in the afternoon and possibly storm, so do we run the ball more?

What kind of stats do you think Mixon puts up this week?

Mixon would be tough for me to gamble on in the 1st just because older RB's with a ton of carries scare me.  However, there's a ton of old, injury prone RB's rated near the top that scare me more.

I would guess he would get you 10 points minimum vs the Steelers or 12 in a PPR league.  However, RB's like Mixon that see that much usage should just stay locked in your lineup because there's a decent chance they at least score you a goal line TD even against stout D's.
