I would personally claim him. With a rookie QB and Joe going through his migraine issues, he would be a massive insurance policy if Mixon misses games and a great 1-2 punch if Joe's healthy. He had over 1600 total yards last year, including 1100+ on the ground at 4.3 ypc, so it's not like he wasn't productive as a feature back.
To me, a claim would potentially signal some issue with Mixon that may be greater than we know.
