Fresh off of a four-year, $58 million contract extension with the Bengals, Joe Mixon will get things off to a big start. Mixon is one of the most underrated running backs in the game and going up against the Chargers bodes well for him.

During the 2019 season with the Bengals, Mixon racked up 278 carries for 1,137 yards and five touchdowns. He also ended up catching 35 passes for 287 yards and three touchdowns.

This week, Mixon is going to be a monster. He will wreak havoc on the Chargers’ defense to the tune of 120 yards on the ground and at least one touchdown. Mixon should also end up catching four passes for 30 yards.

Mixon is a must-play this week and the Bengals’ offense will look much better with their star running back and No. 1 overall pick Joe Burrow leading the way.
