Mixon No Bueno Vs The Steelers This Week?

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.

Mixon's only 26 and has had 178, 237, 278, 119 (only 6 games), and 293 carries, so he's not really weathered too much and is still in peak form. 

My only fear is that the friend that's picking 8th takes him, which would throw me into a funk and ruin my entire draft because I could have taken the 7 spot and likely drafted Chase, but I think Mixon's in for a big season.

I know that Chase could be the top receiver or second behind Jefferson, but I've always valued backs in the first round.
