The only consistency we have lately is of losing. That is the only thing consistent.

Then he should be rated higher.
This is a perfect example of how worthless the PFF individual rankings are. Mixon is 8th in rushing yards per game and 11th in yards per carry (among 35 RBs with at least 100 carries). Despite missing 2 games Mixon is 20th in receptions by a RB and only 14 players have more rushing tds.
If he is that productive behind a terrible O-line then how the hell is he the #20 RB?

Question, how do penalties factor into line grading?

I don't know enough about the rankings of the rest of the players in the NFL to say. But over the years I have seen many examples of PFF grades being useless.
I don't even know what formula PFF uses now to rank players, but the old one allowed a player to be ranked behind another one at his position who both played fewer snaps and messed up more often. Plus the ratings were based on subjective opinions. Two players could both do their job but one would get bonus points while the other would not.
This year we have a horrible offense and a horrible defense. So it is hard to say exactly who should be ranked higher. But Mixons ranking is enough to show that PFF individual rankings are worthless.
