Weekend fantasy highlights from around the NFL:
Miami at Cincinnati
Joe Mixon Set To Return
This comes at the ideal time for Cincinnati, as Gio Bernard (who filled in very admirably) has been ruled out and didn’t look like his usual self to finish out last week’s win in Atlanta. With all respect to Bernard, the Bengals offense is far more difficult to prepare for when Mixon is the lead guy. Few combine the receiving skills and running acumen into one package that has the size and power that Mixon possess. Miami’s defense has allowed a lot of fantasy production to opposing running backs. Expect Mixon to feast this week. It also looks like John Ross will not play after he sat out Friday’s practice and of course Tyler Eifert is now out of the equation. Tyler Boyd should be entrenched as an every week fantasy starter opposite AJ Green.
Atlanta at Pittsburgh
Devonta Freeman Is Back
