How long are we expecting Joe Mixon to be out? What kind of foot injury is it?
He didn't practice at all going into the bye week. Can we expect him to be back against the Steelers?
Geo has been hot and really fits us well for what we need out of our backs in this offense. This is a pass first offense where the RBs are heavily needed in pass pro--as well as getting a lot of change of pace rushes out of shotgun. Not a lot of slow developing plays. Geo is perfect for that. He's a better blocker, which is quite valuable. He's also an amazing receiver out of the backfield.
That said, we invested a lot in Mixon and no doubt want to use him. He's an elite runner between the tackles and out in space.
In fantasy, I selected Joe in the 2nd round (19th overall). I dumped Geo this week in fantasy, expecting Mixon to come back after the bye. Wondering if I made a mistake. I didn't need him in my lineup this week, so I dumped him and picked up Joe Burrow. I also have Green (6th round), Tyler Boyd (8th round), and Tee Higgens (free agency). Going with Boyd and Higgens as my starters from here on out, as Odell Beckham went to IR, and Robby Anderson (12th round) is only good for 10 points. I also have Claypool and D. Johnson from the Steelers on my bench. My RBs are set with Delvin Cook, Joe Mixon and James Conner. Got Kelce (3rd rd) and Aaron Rodgers (10th rd) too. Rodgers and Burrow are both ranked around 10-12 in fantasy.
